It just doesn't feel like the pre-headliners are as good or offer the same value as usual for me. I'd still have complete days of shows to enjoy, but couldn't justify travel for this.
That is one awful lineup unless you listen to Top 40 radio. Ya'll need to book tickets to Europe... have you seen Mad Cool Festival? And that's not even the whole lineup!

It’s funny because I don’t listen to the radio and have 30+ acts I’d see that aren’t top 40.
i am honestly fucking SHOCKED that fever ray isn’t on the lineup. she was rumored to be taking offers even before she announced her new album. i cant help but wonder if aeg had anything to do with it; someone said on the reddit a few days back that it would be “hard for her to justify an aeg contract”
If this was on the east coast, I'd go. Plenty of stuff I would enjoy, but I agree not a lot of "big names". Or maybe I'm just dumb idk. I'd be fucking pumped for the black madonna.
That's how I feel. If this lineup was in Chicago I would go.

This hits all my very specific buttons of rare US shows by Soulwax, Jamiroquai, MCDE, plus Byrne, Michael Mayer, Beyoncé.... but I’m not a guitar rock deadender so what do I know.
It is funny that the Roo clue answer that had everyone like "BONNAROO IS BACK, BABY" is kinda just buried in this lineup and it's not really a big deal though.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong are playing? Must have missed that. Well maybe Beyonce can take some notes and see how its done.

I'm not going to shit on this lineup because I think there is a lot of good stuff after the first two lines. And this is Coachella, and it's a different beast from other US festivals, etc.
But having said that:
When long-time festival people start looking at a lineup and saying "well this seems fun", it is not a good sign for the future of the festival. We all remember when we started doing that for Bonnaroo.
I didn't look at the Day For Night lineup this year and quietly muse about the good times I could have at the festival. Instead I flipped my desk, rended my garments, and proclaimed thanks to the gods, new and old.

It makes sense though; Coachella has usually been ahead of Roo in terms of lineup quality - to a significant degree the past couple years. So expectations are different.
I always see people talking about that Jean Michel Jarre guy in this thread. They have a ticketmaster deal to see him at Radio City in NY for $20 in two weeks. I am not that familiar with his stuff. Worth going to or nah?

With some exceptions, you might have a solid point. just wish the two other headliners didn’t put such a huge weight on my shoulders
Top lines are a bit wank aside from one or two. That said the rest is really solid.
This whole fest has become a meet up for me and my mates . Its a week of booze, drugs and good times. Last year the line up wasnt too deep for me either and spent most of my time seeing stuff I didnt know , hitting do lab and yuma.
I know SZA and Haim have blown up, but they seem like small subs. I guess that's because the headliners are massive?
I think Kygo will sub and not SZA. I also would have guessed Fleet Foxes (or even Alt J) would headline over HAIM, how the hell are they 7th for that day??
Interested to see what other lineups will still have Jamiroquai, David Byrne, Soulwax, Chic, APC, MCDE, etc, in addition to such a star studded top line. It is official. Many of you are just haters, stupid, or both.
