Strokes co-headlined with Kanye in 2011. I doubt they'd be back this soon, and honestly it's not like they've earned it. If anything they'd be a second line act at this point.

Not for Coachella, no. They were fourth for Gov Ball and they're from New York
They headlined in 2011 you Dingus
CO-headlined Which I don't even know why is a thing. I can't even imagine choosing Kanye or The Strokes. There's so much uncertainty with them right now though.

Get a load of the Coachella expert! How bout you sit out a few plays, champ.

Shall I remind you of this year's headliners?
Since 2010 Arcade Fire got even bigger than before, and released a pretty massive new album.
The Strokes have done nothing, and are looking more and more like a lame duck nostalgia act the further we get away from Room on Fire. Hence, second liner at best.

Fair point
I'd say the Strokes are still pretty damn popular though. If you look on the first name from the second line on this year's lineup, the Strokes are bigger/more popular than all of them
Why the fuck don't you ever understand that not everything works the same? The same reasoning that leads you to say things like "well Austin Davis beat the 49ers and Stanton is better than Davis so the Cardinals will beat the 49ers" is leading you to conclusions like "he's playing multiple times in Atlanta so why wouldn't he do the same with Coachella?" BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE SAME THING AND THE TWO THINGS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER.
Guys I broke Rory
You just haven't seen him angry yet, but I do think you're getting close.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who liked FIOE and Angles

I don't agree with that, at all. The Knife, while certainly not "bigger" in terms of name recognition or sales, were a special "once in a lifetime" type booking. Queens of the Stone Age are pretty massively popular and have continued to churn out excellent music for over a decade. And I hope I don't have to explain why Beck is a bigger name that the Strokes at this point in time.
FWIW I actually really like the Strokes - I think Is This It deserves every accolade it ever received and more, and that Room on Fire was a terrific follow up which basically delivered more of the same, which wasn't a bad thing. I even think that First Impressions of Earth had its moments. But I think the Strokes moment is long past, absent some future revelatory release which I see no evidence of occurring. I'll still check for them and would see them if they're playing.
Also, I really don't think they get both Jack White and Foo Fighters. Seems way too KROQ.
Hopefully you're right. I'd like to see JW swapped out for whatever this year's left-field headliner is (Outkast, Blur/SR, Dre), but I'm not gonna get carried away dreaming since that will probably be U2 or something lame.

Kendrick Lamar, Steve Aoki, Diplo, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Phantogram, Portugal. The Man, Sleigh Bells, The Black Lips, Cults, Surfer Blood, METZ and Bad Things can all be ruled out since they're playing that festival in Pasadena.

Are you talking about the Rosebowl Music Festival? Has that been approved? From what I remember weren't they going for an older crowd on that one?
