Seen a lot of music and last nights performance by Roger Waters was hands down the best musical performance I’ve ever seen. I was disapointed with the line up at first liker the rest of the critics but seeing is believing. Way to go Coachella!

Oh wow, Kraftwerk will be there again! One of the rare ( maybe last - you never know ) chances to see/hear a performance given by the godfathers of electronic music!

Does everyone realize how fortunate
they are seeing Roger Waters. I saw him in ‘07 and am still speechless. Before being in any way critical about this choice, see
the show!!

Too bad, ten-years too LATE on the line-up.

Coachella looks to be cookin a rather decent line up this year despite the lacks of a Radiohead or and R.E.M. For all you dissapointed hipsters, fear not because you will get to see one of the marquee bands of the 80’s Love and Rockets, plus one of the current great live acts My Morning Jacket. Not too mention Jack White and his Raconteurs which should be splendid along with Englands Richard Ashcroft and the Verve, which is one of those most underrated english bands. Also DCFC whose made some wonderful records over the years, and Portishead, Beth Gibbons and her ensemble should provide some instersting eclectic moods under the California sun. Lets not forget all the little relatively unknown bands, that will get the light of day, and could possibly make it on your favs list, which is the most interesting aspect of this whole festival. Roger Waters, what a great opportunity to see and listen to one of the most influential records ever made, Darks Side of the Moon, and who can argue that the music of Pink Floyd has been a major influence to most of the music that we’ve seen and heard through out all the Coachella Festivals. Now we get to see and hear it, in all its glory and splendor. Lots of fun in the sun.

Wow..I went last year and had made some preliminary plans to go this year but what a terrible line-up. Jack Johnson, Rogers Waters, The Verve, Death Cab for Cutie all have no right being anywhere near a main stage. Portishead I just can’t see as a mainstage act. Most of the fun is seeing all the smaller bands and at first glance I am disappointed that while there’s a lot of good dance stuff unlike last year there’s isn’t that much up and coming talent from over the pond. Last year you could see the Fratelli’s, the Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, The Kaiser Chiefs, Jarvis Cocker, the Cribs etc. Unless you count Madness in that category. But the headliners - seriously - W.T.F? Where is REM who release a new album in April or maybe Franz Ferdinand or a Beck or dare I say it, Radiohead. Given that Goldenvoice are launching a headlining festival in New Jersey in August my guess is they signed all the best contracts for that event. Given that this is the premiere music festival in the most populous state in the Union makes the realisation that the headliners stink even worse.

Waters is the architect behind the unmatched Pink floyd live legacy. He’s the foremost live pioneer in rock history.

Can’t wait!

Not only do they have to compete with other festivals for the same talent, they have to compete with their own new music fest in Jersey and I can tell you now, Coachella die hards are not happy about about 2nd teir bands headlining while the new festival gets Radiohead.
