Anyone else see how high Alabama Shakes are billed for Sasquatch? Found it kind of funny, yet proud though. My mom's friends with Brittany Howard ("front-woman") and she said they're super grateful for the spot that it was a last minute thing and that there is much more to be announced for them soon. I'm almost positive 'Roo will one of those "many things" to soon be announced.
yeah i think someone confirmed it on their twitter or something. Me and some others filmed them for a Live in the shoals youtube video before they got big, its amazing to see them go from nothing to playing major fests in less than 6 months. Our video has over 300k views.. haha
You near Athens? (AL)
Lived in Muscle Shoals til' around age 11, then lived in Germantown (Memphis suburb) til' age 18; parents moved back to Muscle Shoals in 09. I now am currently residing in Washington, D.C. for the next few months (this place sucks).
Nah, Daft Punk would undoubtedly play What LN. It's a possible argument as to who gets billed higher, them or RHCP, but theres no question that they play What.

Not that this is relevant to the thread whatsoever, but I grew up in Germantown as well. And we're not getting Daft Punk (and I brought it back).

So if we got something like: Radiohead - RHCP - Phish - Daft Punk - Jack White - Drake - Bon Iver - The Shins - The Roots (Possibly including The Beach Boys?) Does that mean we destroy Coachella?
Who the hell cares if RHCP are in the "top 3" or what the billing is. They're a headliner, and anyone who says anything else is a dumbass. They could be 4 if we get another big name headliner, ala Neil Young or Daft Punk. Look at Jay-Z in 2010. But to say they won't headline or play Which is laughable.
Thank you. I get so sick of the mental gymnastics some people perform on this board.

It would eat Coachella's children, which would cause every coachella board member to join Jim Jones in the afterlife after drinking a mass quantity of kool aid that would be provided by Ashley Capps

Just incase you didn't notice, the article is FAKE. It links you right back to the Onions homepage in the top left-hand corner. It was a dead give away when they had Skrillex headlining over Daft Punk.
That Daft Punk article is not fake. There are screenshots of the site. And AV Club is just affiliated with the Onion, they report actual real stories though.

1-1-12 Bassnectar NYE SHOW! 1-21-12 G. Love and Special Sauce 3-1-12 Radiohead 3-9-12 Experience Hendrix 5-15-12 Jack White @ The Ryman 6-7-12 Bonnaroo 6-19-12 Roger Waters presents "THE WALL" 7-7-12 Ringo Starr's 72nd Birthday Party Extravaganza at the Ryman
I don't really understand all of this killing Coachella talk. Radiohead is playing both so that is equal. The Black Keys and RHCP are a toss up. I know that record sales point to RHCP as being superior, the Keys latest effort blows the last Peppers album out of the water. Phish and Dre and Snoop are incomparable as different types of fans would much rather one than the other. I am not getting my hopes up that Daft Punk will play but even if they do, Swedish House Mafia are arguably the biggest EDM act in the world right now. Yes Daft Punk is legendary but SHM are also a huge get and they headline any EDM fest they go too. The Coachella undercard is strong weather you are a rock, hip hop or dance music fan. I don't see why the addition of Daft Punk blows Coach out of the water.

I'm not believing this until it is official. Daft Punk playing some random newcomer electronic festival just doesn't sound right. Incase you didn't know, they're highly expensive; oh, and they only occassionally play, especially in the U.S. Plus, I believe if this were true that the official Facebook "Like" page would have more than 740 "likes" and would be advertised a bit better.
EDIT: Hey, I may be wrong, I just don't see Daft Punk playing. But I guess we'll find out soon, so I'm not going to make a big deal about it.
I don't really think that Daft Punk is booked for that festival, but that article is a real article. I think the image of Daft Punk was just a placeholder.

you really can compare them as dre hasnt done a show in years and snoop played BEFORE phish on their 2nd set of the festival in 2009. also the black keys have played 2 straight roos and havent headlined

Maybe it was a marketing ploy to get people talking about their festival.

Haha, imagine if they had something like:
Radiohead - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Phish - Daft Punk - The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Reunion - Skrillex - Jack White - Drake - Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa - Bon Iver - The Shins
Friday: What: Skrillex -> Daft Punk Which: Drake -> Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa (LN)
Saturday: What: Red Hot Chili Peppers -> Radiohead Which: Bon Iver -> Jack White
Sunday: What: The Beach Boys -> Phish What: The Shins
It would never, ever happen, but I don't think it's all unrealistic. Also, it would be the best lineup of anything ever.
Preferred Rap Acts: Outkast > Watch the Throne > Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg > OFWGKTA > ATCQ > Nas ft. the Roots > Wu Tang Clan > Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg > De La Soul > Drake
