While Coachella may have jumped the gun in billing Phoenix as a headliner, I think Phoenix has shown that they are more than capable of holding down a headlining spot. I would certainly prefer them over Kings of Leon.
This. I was working at Arby's going through college and their two hit songs (pretty sure only songs) played OVER AND OVER. Too me they are kinda generic, a step up from Nickleback. I'm neutral to the Killers, but I would prefer a great deal of bands over KOL. Off the top of my head from other fests: Mumford and Sons, Beck, MMJ, The pixies, Robert Plant, Tenacious D, The Strokes, Black keys, Jack White.
I also REALLYYYY wish Die Antwoord would come back to the states for a few fests. They were AMAZING last year at Roo.

Any one here going to Forecastle BTW? If Firefly doesn't pan out its like 2 hours from my house. I realize the lineup isnt the greatest but hey, not an 8+ hour drive.
Phoenix are great and better than both KoL and The Killers. Wish they were headlining this one.
God, thank you. Whoever thinks they're generic has never heard anything but 1901 a thousand times. Go listen to Alphabetical, or Bankrupt, and buy tickets to see them immediately. They need to come to the woodlands.
Idk wasn't there, but I saw Phoenix last year in a small venue and its the best show I've ever seen
I've seen Phoenix twice, at an outdoor venue 5ish years ago and then again at Roo last year. I think they're one of the best live bands I've had the pleasure of seeing; their energy together and on stage is just incredible.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Yes, they're always so happy to be there, they have such a good time

Saw pheonix at Made in America. Didn't wow me but didn't disappoint. Really don't want the killers as a headliner. They headlined in 2012. It was Great. but firefly is too young to already recycle headliners
Didn't you just make a point of saying you couldn't judge Phoenix's Coachella show because you weren't there? You then went on to say the show that you personally attended was the best show you've seen in your life.
So why are you assuming the absolute worst, in regards to Gorillaz, when both band's Coachella performances are being put in the same category?
In short order, you went from asking if Gorillaz could still headline to proclaiming they wouldn't be good, based on hearsay of one performance. So hopefully you are starting to see why your posts confused me.
Edit: BTW, they would headline. Festival runners care about the bottom line, not what opinionated people like you and I say on the internet.

Agree. Saw them at The NorVA and they absolutely killed it. Shame they were scheduled for a Pavillion and because they didn't sell enough tickets they were moved to the club venue but I am so thankful cause it was such an intimate experience. I met them afterwards and was very surprised at how bad their English was for a band that sings in English.

I said last year that Firefly would land Eminem this year. His set at bonnaroo was wild. That would be a nice curveball for a saturday headliner, although at this point it again appears unlikely

I'm so jealous, yeah only Thomas's English is good

LOOOOL WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!
Jack was awesome tonight at MSG. BLACK BAT LICORICE is killer live, especially with Q-tip on lead vocals. And finally after all my times seeing Jack White in some form, I got some Ball and Biscuit. Also, Zack Dela Rocha coming out with Run the Jewels was a nice way to open the night.
