real question: are the Violent Femmes like good? I've listened through some of their albums before and they've always struck me as aggressively mediocre.
They were pretty f'n awesome live when I saw them (15 years ago).
Maybe the only Sigur Ros festival appearance in the States?
Saturday night melt down. They'll likely be booked against Hot Chip, New Order, or Phoenix. Maybe even a combination of them even. That's what I'm most afraid of.
Sigur Ros will probably close the outdoor during Phoenix's headlining set while Hot Chip is in a tent.
It'd be a bummer to miss Hot Chip, but still an easy decision.
Also, the XX aren't number 2, that 2nd line reads from right to left.
The scheduling at Coachella sucks...they always seem to pit amazing acts against each other in the tents...you have to think that most of these bands on the undercard will be doing their own tours and the other fests...is there anything on there that really even looks like an exclusive?
So far this is the first we've heard of Violent Femmes and J5.
I'm guessing the Postal Service and Wu Tang reunions will be everywhere this summer.
In talking about this lineup with people, I am shocked how many people haven't heard The Stone Roses' debut. If you haven't, you owe it to yourself to go listen to it now. A true classic, easily one of the best Britpop albums ever. The best album The Smiths never made (although they're more reverb-y than The Smiths).

I think a lot of people in the US going to festivals (especially younger ones) just aren't familiar with British music. Makes me wonder if somehow The Smiths reunion got booked whether that would get the same reaction.
Just tell me Bonnaroo has a chance of landing half of the following acts so my anxiety of knowing I can't go to Coachella will lower so I can go to sleep: Blur, YYYs, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, Band of Horses, Beach House, Japandroids, Purity Ring, The XX, Sigur Ros, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Moby, Bat for Lashes, Biffy Clyro, Vampire Weekend, Tame Impala, Grimes. All bands I haven't seen before. Half of that isn't too much to ask, is it?

Yeah, a few of those have already pretty much been confirmed. Head over to the confirmation thread over in the Troo Music Lounge. If I remember though Hot Chip was ruled out. Doubt we get Blur either.
After looking again, LITERALLY the only 2 acts I care about seeing on Sunday are Disclosure and Tame Impala. I wish I could buy single day tickets. That middle line on Saturday is way too stacked.

Hey guys, regular Coachella attendee here. Never been to Roo.
Quick question, just wondering where the Macca speculation is coming from? Is he confirmed by a legit source? I would definitely sell my tickets and attend Roo for the first time if Paul is legitimately playing.

Speculation started when an overseas festival promoter said he tried to book Paul, but he prefers playing American festivals. Then Juggernaut, a trusted poster here, staked his reputation on a source who said that McCartney is a lock to play Bonnaroo. There is no 100% proof yet, but if you're a board member who trusts Jugs then you expect him to be on the lineup. I think he'll be there, but I understand that it's hard for someone who just wondered over to this forum for the first time to take that at face value.

Yeah, I read around as much as I could and saw someone mention that it came from Jug so I was thinking there would be more. Roo lineups drop in Februray, or...? Thanks for the reply though!

It usually drops very shortly after Valentine's Day. So you don't have long to wait. If Paul isn't there I will be somewhat surprised.
Cool, I guess I will look forward to the lineup and see. You folks seem pretty confident about Paul!
Part of that is just optimism, but I forgot to mention that Jugg's source was right about Blur/Phoenix (I believe) for the Coachella lineup. So if this is the same source, logic dictates that Paul should be on the lineup.
Ok, so I decided to make out a list of acts I want to see each day.
