I promised myself last year that I’d never go again, but the tentative lineup for this year’s Coachella Festival in Palm Springs is too tempting. How can I pass up seeing Badly Drawn Boy, Ben Folds, Ben Kweller, Cat Power, Gomez, the White Stripes, Ladytron, Tortoise, Sonic Youth, Polyphonic Spree, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Mouse on Mars, RJD2, El P, Amon Tobin and Stereo Total at a single event? Even at $140 for a two-day pass, it’s a deal.
Update: Goldenvoice posted the official set list. Looks like Cat Power was removed. (It’s probably for the best, since Chan Marshall has difficulty enough playing small clubs.)
I’ve been drooling over the Coachella band lists for years, but have yet to take the plunge and actually go to the concert. Reading about them afterwards make them sound like it’s a pretty decent event.
You can’t.
Even last year’s Coachella was extremely … ass-y, that’s quite a set-list. Have a good time, yo.
IS this the most current list of bands that will be playing?
