but... but.... they said late January/ beginning of February.
it's only MID-january! :-)
which spikes the debate, when does LATE January begin?! ;D
hahaha, OH Lord i'm gonna lose my mind. ??? I'd say maybe sometime next week is possible. They could be releasing the lineup together with the release of Rambo in theaters to promote a Sly appearance at the Roo.
I figure we'll at least start getting a few more "leaks" in the next week, two at most. Maybe then or a third week later we get the lineup from now. At worst we've got a month. And really, if it's only four more weeks I can wait. Because then I know it's coming. And I can be excited for it! Plus it just means it's closer to the 'Roo, every day that passes with or without the lineup, so in the end I'm still pretty happy about it all.

Hey how's everyone doin? This is gonna be my first 'Roo so I'm extremely excited to find out who's gonna be playing. I don't think I can wait much longer.
At this point, I'd be satisfied if they just told us WHEN the lineup will be announced. I just need some kind of new info to calm the crazy that is growing inside me!

I just want my tickets...The thought of possibly not being able to get them scares the manpants off of me.
At this point, I believe a reading from the Book of Corn is appropriate:
The Cat is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me roll green pastures; He leadeth me to Sweetwater 420. Yea, though I nom in the valley of Darkness, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; your Corn and your Cat – they comfort me.

I feel the same way! I am sooo worried that after they announce the headliners i will never get a ticket I have to sign up to volunteer! Hope that is as cool as I have heard. And I really hope they are cool about letting us see the bands we wanna see!

Coachella lineup is being released today tinyurl.com/38vxoh Hopefully superfly isn't too far behind.
can u post the article? says u have to login
The rock fest's organizers have set a news conference for today (in Mexico, no less), where they'll announce this year's lineup and talk about an August festival in New Jersey. By Geoff Boucher, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer January 21, 2008 When promoter Paul Tollett and his partners hatched the idea of a huge multiday rock festival called Coachella a decade ago, plenty of people wondered if the idea would actually go anywhere. Now the question is where it will stop.
At a news conference scheduled for today, Tollett and his business partners, which include concert promotion giant AEG Live, plan to announce the full lineup for the ninth edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio this April. It will include the Verve, the Raconteurs, Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket and Rilo Kiley.
Tollett is also planning to elaborate on his new venture in Jersey City, N.J.: a three-day August festival (reportedly headlined by Radiohead and Johnson) on a grassy expanse in 1,200-acre Liberty State Park that has a dramatic vista of the Manhattan skyline.

Today's news conference is being staged neither in Indio nor in the Garden State, however. It's in . . . Mexico City? Sure enough, although Tollett said he has "no plans right now" to launch a counterpart festival on the other side of the border, he also gushes about the surprising resonance of the Coachella brand with Mexican fans, artists and press. "It is something that's crossed my mind," he said in an interview.
Tollett's expansion plans follow the launching last year of Stagecoach, the two-day country-music cousin of Coachella that shares the same site in Indio, the Empire Polo Field. That festival averaged 26,000 fans a day last year.
All of this reflects a surge of interest in the concert industry in multiday "destination" festivals, says Gary Bongiovanni, editor in chief of Pollstar, the leading trade publication for the live-music sector.
There's the growing acclaim for the massive Bonnaroo Music Festival each June in Manchester, Tenn.; the recently announced Vineland Music Festival in Vineland, N.J. and the reestablished Lollapalooza Festival, the 1990s-era touring franchise nowanchored in Chicago. Those are part of a long list of major festivals -- some rural with camping, others in urban parks -- that fill a niche for huge-audience events now that stadium tours have fallen out of favor.
Executives at Live Nation, the nation's top concert promoter, have also publicly stated an interest in getting into the mix, Bongiovanni said.
"You didn't see this after Coachella's first year [in 1999], when Tollett lost his shirt, but they were on to something, and there was an opening for this European-style festival," Bongiovanni said. "Now it's definitely a real growth area."
The crowded marketplace has made it tougher for Tollett to book splashy, must-see headliners for the pioneering Coachella. All eyes will be on the conference today to see what the low-desert show will have April 25 to 27. It will be Coachella's second year as a three-day affair.
Stagecoach, May 3 and 4, will be headlined by Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood and the Judds.
The Liberty Park show will have "a Coachella history" behind it, but it will be a markedly different enterprise. Instead of mountains, the view will be skyscrapers; instead of campgrounds and vast, dusty parking lots, the urban East Coast counterpart will be hemmed in by water and serviced by trains and ferries. The size of the venue and the down-sized scale of the Liberty show will make for a significantly smaller crowd, although Tollett didn't get into numbers. On its busiest days, Coachella has gone north of 60,000 fans.

Just go onto google maps, find Tennessee. Look between Manchester and Hillsboro Hwy on 24. I think its the fountain at least, i can see BFE and everything but nothing is set up, I'm not sure how old the photos are.
