Hope that phantom Thom Yorke booking rolled into this year. He's always great to see, but I'd love to catch a few of the songs off this new album that he didn't play this last time around.

Truevine confirming him for last year, and then him not performing, has me guessing that he realized his album would be out later than initially planned and so they pushed him back a year.
Thom should be considered a GV favorite IMO, considering his projects have performed nearly every album cycle. I'm putting my bets on him closing Mojave.

This would fall into the classic "confirmed early but plays a following year" trend we've seen from Jean Michel-Jarre and Chic with Nile Rodgers.

JMJ and Chic were confirmed multiple years, to the point where we stopped believing it would happen haha
Agree with everyone that Thom likely just got bumped back a year
Two nights at the Greek theater in LA has me doubtful that he's booked, but I think it's possible
This got me a little curious so I looked back at earlier Greek October schedules. Nobody who played the Greek last October was booked for Coachella, but HAIM and the War on Drugs both played there Oct 2017 and were booked for Coachella 2018. I still think Thom's likely to come back to Coachella.

Has there ever been any talk of Santana at Coachella? Given the increased focus on latin music, it seems like he'd be a pretty smart legacy booking, if they care much to do those anymore. He probably wouldn't need to headline either, given he was a sub at Bottlerock...he could slide into a Steely Dan-type role nicely.

Honestly this would do NOTHING for me personally but it would be an excellent booking. I really believe if we get ~5 more legacy/rarity acts than last year, sales will bump up again. Santana would be a great start.

Just realized Weezers debut turns 25 next year. They’ll probably be getting in the Rock Hall Of Fame, they covered a meme to commercial popularity, and it was a cheaper legacy act they had a prior history with that they knew people would go see. I don’t know if Santana would draw enough to make it worth it and I don’t think he has the music nerd credibility Steely Dan has.
what is "music nerd credibility"? Santana was inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame in 98, he played fucking Woodstock, dude's a legend. Not at all understanding how anyone can think it's reasonable to compare him to Weezer lmao
Mostly agree, and I've never actually seen him myself, but I think ppl would be pretty into seeing Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman, Samba Pa Ti, Evil Ways, Maria Maria, and Smooth ring out on the fields. There are cooler options, but he's not as lame as a Barry Gibb, at least.
