U2 will do what's best for U2 financially. Having the highest grossing tour of all time means you have options. It also means festivals court you instead of the opposite.
Personally I would prefer them to do a string of shows in any venue with each highlighting a particular decade of their work. I am by no means a die hard fan but the 360 tour was a spectacle and a pleasure to be at.
Bono said back in January that he wanted to play Coachella. U2 could headline Coachella and still sell out multiple nights in LA over the summer. I think the timing could be right for next year and it would a huge coup for Goldenvoice to book one of the biggest bands in the world. For headliners I am going with
U2 Coldplay Jack White
Please god, no.
I really don't think they would give us that much semi-old and legit-old dude whiteness in the headliner slots.

I honestly wouldn't mind U2 or Coldplay separately, and would see them at a festival since I wouldn't catch them on their own, but booking both in the same year would just be too much.
Don't worry. As everyone always points out they'd likely have something much more exciting playing at the same time as those guys.
Like during Muse last year when Coachella goers could enjoy the fresh and exciting sounds of Nas, Skrillex, Pet Shop Boys, and the Dismemberment Plan.
It does tend to be the standard response when someone complains about a headliner they don't like. People usually point out that there are other, better choices.
For real, me and mayonaise had a great time at their set.
I mean, that's probably what I would have done too, but it sure doesn't tickle me in the underpants area.
U2 is fine, and I enjoy most of their pre-2000 output, but if Coachella is gonna break the bank on a headliner they're way low on the list of wants for me. But if the headliners are smaller acts I don't care about and the second line is strong, that's fine by me.
U2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Stone Roses
U2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> most potential headliners for next year.
There is a certain genius to booking U2. What better way to counter criticism that the fest's best days are behind it, and now it only attracts vapid, self-promoting, brand conscious twats, than to trot ol' Bono out to melt some faces with the best tracks off his new Apple exclusive album.

U2 & Coachella 2014: When Brands Collide.
Everything's best days are behind it. R.I.P. life, light and God's love.
Yeah, that Nas "Illmatic" set featuring a three-song mid-set Jay-Z appearance sure looked like a dud.
Kinda like Rihanna's three song cameo during Eminem's Lolla set.
I mean, in your situation you got some fries with your Quarter Pounder, where in mine you got a nice glass of zinfandel along with your New York strip, but sure.

No I get the distinction. But like I said, nothing says "fresh and exciting" like Nas performing the 20 year old album that he never really stopped performing in the first place. Like ya, it's steak, but it's steak that you can get anytime.

Maybe, but from a marketing perspective "Nas performing Illmatic" sounds more exciting than "Nas". Regardless of whether or not the content is different, the excitement surrounding the set is good for Coachella, and a lot of times anticipation makes things much better for the fans too. It's a win-win.
