The way I see it is Goldenvoice, rather than waiting for a group to be "headliner ready" by monitoring sales and seeing them play other fests, wants to be the first one to do it and be there at the beginning. They want to make tastes, not respond to them.
Put another way, the fact that Coachella has Phoenix headlining will help spur sales of their new album, which in turn will make them look like a prescient choice to headline the show. They're dictating the market, rather than the other way around.
I've been wondering about this ever since I had a chance to really study the lineup. I actually think GV was brilliant in putting this lineup together. I've been really feeling a punk revival over the past year - and it looks like Coachella is pushing this. With some of the godfathers there in various forms and some of the newer ones, Coachella may actually be helping spur a trend that isn't obvious to most folks yet.
Edit: and by "most folks", I don't mean music obssesssives who post on music festival boards.
I'm excited to dive into some of the punk acts on here. I'm only really familiar with a few.
On a side note, this discussion has inspired me to listen to Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, and I forgot how insanely catchy and awesome it is.
Woke up to this line up. Some interesting stuff, wish we could get Sigur Ros again. Do RHCP have broader appeal in Cali as native sons or are they just stuck with them?
Stuck. Nobody wants that shiz.
They were Lolla headliners last year and I couldnt believe how many people were there seeing the show. It was fine. It was my friend's one must see so I went too.

Somebody does, just not people on boards.
I actually went and sat through them at Roo last year and regret it. I'm not a huge fan of their work but usually live experiences increase my enjoyment. If I'd known how they were live I'd have skipped them altogether.
4/17 Jim James
5/17 Foals
6/8 Tallest Man On Earth
6/11 Local Natives
6/13-16 Bonnaroo
7/6 Bob Dylan, My Morning Jacket, and Wilco

8/15 STS9 and Umphreys McGee
10/25-27 Mountain Oasis
Oh come on. You don't think GV loved putting a contemporary band that's played the festival a couple of times in the headliner slot when they have a new album coming out around the time of the festival? That played arenas the last time they toured the states and brought out (sorry) Daft Punk at MSG?
Phoenix has graduated guys, they're not playing That Tent in a 45 minute slot before Crystal Castles ever again.
But that show was awesome. I'm glad that I left Phish early to see that.

God, Love Like a Sunset Pt.1 > Love Like a Sunset Pt.2 is just stellar.
I'm now really excited to see Phoenix. I think they'll be a blast. I really hope they don't have someone conflicting with them that I really want to see, though if I had to guess I'd imagine Sigur Ros and/or Hot Chip will.

If their new album is even close to as catchy as their others people are going to be riding major buzz into that set.

One of my favorite Bonnaroo shows ever. I was there.

I'm honestly picturing them playing, lights going nuts, "it's 30 seconds to the last call," with 55K people jumping up and down yelling "HEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEY" and I'm getting goosebumps.

And clearly you aren't a rapist (I hope) but the way you pop into any thread where a woman happens to be lamenting her lack of ride to Bonnaroo and tell them to come hop on your bus sounds extremely rapey.

It's a stellar lineup on paper.
Factor in how much it's going to cost to get to Cali (from the east coast) + the coach pass + gear + spending money, it doesn't look nearly as appealing.

The amount of people on Facebook and Twitter who claim they are selling their tickets because there's no Skrillex, Deadmau5, etc. only proves to me that GV knew what they were doing.
Also, the tickets left for purchase are either GA + Shuttle passes or GA + Camping. Estimates are that there's MAYBE 24K tickets left total. They sold between 130K-140K in the presale. That's just insane.

This is where I'm at with the whole deal. I already have flights but those can easily be transferred for Roo which will save me a 12 hour drive. There's tons of stuff to see everyday and surely lots of new stuff that I'll regret missing later. But since I wasn't initially wowed, I should probably be responsible here and save my money. Least there's still time to buy Coach tix if it does come to that.
