Radiohead, prince, muse, chili peppers, etc...and they are lucky if they get 1 mill, but they normally only get 500 k
then you have third tier : snoop, dre, J z...they get 100 k
then you have 4th tier : black keys, munford byoncee, Prince etcc: they get 50k
So what exactly is trap? From what I gather, it's like droney dubstep, but it's not nearly as ignant
Nah. It's basically what's served as the backing music to southern hip-hop tracks for the last few years, only now white people who listen to EDM like it.

Exactly. They take the image so serious. Just watch the video where they played outside early during that same tour in Atlanta. They were still into being dark and serious despite the sun being fully out.
In case you didn't know, they recently got a new lead singer: "Papa Emeritus II," who replaces "Papa Emeritus." I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.
Oh my god. This is the best thing I've ever read.
Check this sh*t out, Juggs: I've seen Ghost open for Mastodon (and Opeth). It was incredible.
I'd be mildly surprised if these were the only 2 US performances for both The Stone Roses and Blur. It makes sense that Grinderman is a one-off. They were on hiatus, but all the members are Bad Seeds anyway, so Coach offered them more cash to get an exclusive. The other two have played plenty of European dates already and could make a nice payday with just a small run of dates surrounding Coachella.
This is definitely not a bad lineup, but it's the first time I haven't been green with envy over a Coachella announcement. It helps that I already have a Nick Cave ticket for March, and that I don't care at all about the Postal Service or How to Destroy Angels.
Also, for those of you surprised at Wu-Tang's position on the lineup, look at their most recent tour dates. They weren't playing huge venues on their 2010 tour. I saw them at a 1000 capacity venue in Atlanta, and they didn't even sell it out in advance.
I would be really, really surprised if either Blur or the Roses had any US dates other than Coachella. Both those bands just don't tour the States. I guess that's one justification for Coachella having them as headliners despite the fact that a surprising number of Americans haven't heard of either of them. If you really think about it, it's just what Coachella usually does (Anglophile reunions) taken to the extreme.

That's when I saw them, too. The whole show was complete insanity from start to finish. I also wasn't prepared for Opeth to all look like the Nordic guitarists from Dethklok, wispy moustaches and all.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I figure at least one of them will book something in New York while they're over here. If either of them is an exclusive one-off, we will probably hear about it in the next few days.

Not a bad looking line-up (particularly the undercard) but by no means their best. This is the first year in a while that I am not jealous of those going to Coachella.
It probably helps that I have either seen all the acts on here I would like to already or, in the case of the under card, will get to see them all locally through the Spring/Summer.

To parrot what many have already stated the headliners are sub-par but the undercard more than makes up for it for me personally. It's my brit-band wet dream and I don't think we will see many of these acts play too many other stateside gigs in this or any other year. I also can't stress enough how on point Jupiter Jones may be on a fall edm fest:
Honestly, I feel a little bad for the bros. Coachella totally pulled the rug out from under them as far as mainstream EDM is concerned.
I definitely think that Goldenvoice has a Fall - EDM - Brochella in the works.
I'm surprised they didn't also book Skrillex and Boys Noize for solo sets as well to keep the bros at bay. Interested to see how fast this thing sells out.
Excited for Paul McCartney, Grizzly Bear, Bjork, The National, Animal Collective, Beach House, Kendrick Lamar, Swans, Tame Impala, Wu-Tang Clan, David Byrne & St. Vincent, Wilco, The xx, Nas, Japandroids, Solange, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Dirty Projectors & R. Kelly

My Coachella 2013 lineup would appear something like this. I say would because as special and unique as I recognize the opportunity to be, it still can't quite tip the scales to spend upwards of $1000-$1200 as I did in 2009 for ticket, travel and other expenses. If I lived closer, however, it would be a lock.
Friday Lou Reed | Beach House | The Stone Roses | Johnny Marr | Blur | Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Modest Mouse | Band of Horses
Saturday Grizzly Bear | New Order | Franz Ferdinand | Phoenix | Sigur Ros | Hot Chip | The xx | Bat For Lashes | Violent Femmes | Spiritualized | Janelle Monae | Moby | The Postal Service
Sunday Grimes | James Blake | Tame Impala | Wu-Tang Clan | Red Hot Chili Peppers | Vampire Weekend | Dinosaur Jr. | Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

wait wait wait
This won’t be your average Moby DJ set. Instead, the Brooklyn-turned-Hollywood resident will be stringing along his full band. That’s a good thing for two reasons: One, it’s been two years since he released Destroyed, which means he’s bound to have some new material. And two, after reigning champ at Moogfest 2011, there’s no reason to think he won’t bring the gloves to Indio. -Michael Roffman

A good link that really shows how unique and worthy a lot of these band gets are. Definitely full of a lot of names you don't tend to see on festival lineups.

I've heard rumors that Blur is going to announce a Chicago date in April. They could hit NYC and Chicago in between the two weekends if they don't mind the cross country travel.

Also from that CoS article, from the Stone Roses blurb: "Whether they’ll be performing from their 1994 hit Second Coming or the new album purportedly in the works, remains to be seen."

Second Coming was the hit. Get it together, CoS.
Not sure what your complaint is. I don't know Stone Roses well but seems like they are saying they aren't sure if they'll play stuff from the '94 album (Second Coming) or the new one. What's the error?
- Initial freakout - people saying Coachella messed up this year - wild speculation about missing headliners - looking into the undercard - excitement over the stacked but underappreciated undercard and the fact that they book fresh/new headliners
Started off with more disappointment but most seem to be coming around. Like most festivals the initial response is "WHY IS THIS NOT THE BEST EVER!?!??!" and then it sinks in that it'll still be damn awesome.
