Coachella 2011 (band, electronic, Beastie Boys, artists)

[Spraynard Kruger]

So many of the various music blogs and websites are starting to speculate about the 2011 Coachella festival.

The big hot 5 Million dollar topic is whether or not the Rolling Stones will headline.

Some of the funnier blogs have posted some interesting speculation. This particular blogger has a pretty good track record of predicting the lineup. She also made a pretty funny video dialog.

Seeing the video at the Coachella website from 2010 gets me very excited for 2011.

My dream predictions would include:

Arcade Fire
Beastie Boys
Daft Punk
Groove Armada
John Digweed
Mew
Neon Indian
Rolling Stones
Warpaint
Zola Jesus

It's fun to speculate. Have you gone in the past? Are you planning on going in 2011....no matter what?

Beastie Boys
Daft Punk
Groove Armada
AND
Rolling Stones

It's NOT going to be the Rolling Stones. They have enough 3-5 million dollar offers at any given time to book gigs as part of a larger tour which won't happen until August/September at the earliest. Would love to see it happen, but it's just not their style.

Rammstein - Soundgarden - Arcade Fire will be the possible headliners with those acts getting bumped to sub-headliner if AC/DC or Neil Young accept longstanding open offers.

Getting excited. The lineup was supposed to be announced today. Looks like we will be waiting a couple more weeks.

Who else is planning on going? I'm pretty stoked at the prospects. Rumors about Duran Duran? Daft Punk? Say what?

Just kill me already. But prospects are sounding better than I thought!

My dream line-up...

Muse
Alter Bridge
Shinedown
Coldplay
The Killers
OAR

I know...but I can dream right?

Well, Muse played last year so they are not a contender this year. I don't think any band has played the festival back to back. The same artists have played consecutive years, but with different projects.

Coldplay is a contender.

I feel your pain.

The lineup for this year's Coachella festival has been announced. There seems to be a little more emphasis on hip hop and electronic music this year.

Are you happy with the lineup? Are you slightly disappointed?

Are you going?
