Coachella 2007 [KROQ]


  1. noamjamski

    Roky Erickson and the Explosives

    Say what, now?

  2. Dan Gibson

    No Kevin Shields, No Ned.

    Otherwise, besides the headliners, a good lineup, I’d say.

  3. Ned Raggett

    Getting around a bit.

    The Happy Mondays have been doing reunion things on and off for years. However, as anyone who has seen what Shaun Ryder currently looks like knows, this has not been universally welcomed.

  4. Nicolars

    Rage/Chili Peppers/Bjork? Why not rename Coachella “The Fifth Circle of Hell” and be done with it?

  5. Ned Raggett

    Hey, keep an eye out for one of those package deals like they offered last year for high end scum — some ridiculous amount of money so you can have YOUR OWN HOTEL ROOM! and can be part of a generic VIP bar to watch the moshers in comfort.

  6. Ned Raggett

    Rage/Chili Peppers/Bjork? Why not rename Coachella “The Fifth Circle of Hell” and be done with it?

    THANK you.

  7. MC

    Here’s hoping that Bjork headlines one of the first 2 nights, so I can get a jump on traffic…

  8. Ned Raggett

    Wait, Damon Albarn will be there as well. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….

  9. Chris Molanphy

    Maybe Shaun Ryder decided he’d better get himself known to Gen-Y as somebody other than the gun-toting wackjob in 24-Hour Party People or a disembodied head duetting with a Gorillaz cartoon.

  10. Mike Conklin

    So you can pay $85 for a one-day ticket, or pay $249 for the three-day pass — if my math is correct, a paltry six dollar discount. Not quite as paltry as the ONE DOLLAR they’re donating to charity for each ticket sold, but still pretty ridiculous.

  11. Emo Sommelier

    How can there be no excitement here about a Crowded House reunion?

  12. Ned Raggett

    There’s one guy in Norway I know who will care.

  13. King of Pants

    Emo: because one of their members is dead? I mean, if that has somehow changed, then I think that’d be more important than a stage at Coachella…

  14. rina

    Who from Crowded House died?

  15. Mike P.

    Drummer Paul Hester. Committed suicide in 2005.

    I totally didn’t notice them on the list. Weird. Had no idea they were reuniting.

  16. Chris Molanphy

    Re: Crowded House – Neil Finn and Nick Seymour will probably hire a session drummer and make the reunion more trio-like by bringing in Neil’s brother Tim. Just a guess.

  17. Marlow

    Joey Waronker was playing with Neil Finn recently, so maybe it will be him.

  18. Account Chocula

    Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage? Mix in a little sexual assault and arson and you’ve got Woodstock ’99

  19. beta.rogan

    Festival Concerts Suck, and this list doesn’t change that fact one iota

  20. King of Pants

    Forgive me if I was a bit callous; I love Crowded House, but I’ve always been exceedingly skeptical of “reunions” of bands who have dead members. Anyone remember the Ian Astbury-led “Doors”? “Led Zeppelin” at Live Aid with Phil Goddamned Collins?

  21. antistar

    Say what you want, but this is an impressive line-up. I think the majority of the acts are worth seeing.
