So it is time for me to post my annual Coachella thread. Who is going to the West Coast's greatest Indie music event of the year? I must say this year's line up doesn't look as good as last year's but it still isn't shabby.

I'm going with my girlfriend, my best friend, his girlfriend, and two mutal friends. Anyone else planning on going?
-
Rumor has it that The Arcade Fire and The Decemberists will be playing at the same time forcing people to choose one or the other. I hope it isn't true.
-
Wasn't last year's headliner Tool? This year sounds a lot better. That said...I am not going.
-
Me, Tyler, Quietnow, and Skibas will all be there.
-
I hate you America.
I hate you so much.

PICK A SIDE
-
If I had to pick I'd take The Decemberists but I'd really like to see both. Hopefully this is just a rumor.
-

Tool did play but so did Iron & Wine.
-
I'll keep my punkass at Warped Tour.
-
I can't make Coachella but there's a very good chance I'll be at Pitchfork.
-
* VNV Nation
Weird.
Way to get every awesome band in one festival guys. This thing needs to come to the UK.
-
VNV Nation is growing extremely popular as of late.
-
VNV Nation is fuckin' awesome, I've seen em a few times here/in Germany already, and they're playing Infest at the summer so I'm not too bummed to be missing them at Coachella. They put on a great festival show, just looked a bit out of place on the line-up.

There is a large number of British bands at Coachella. I'm not sure why other then they produce good music and they're not signed on to major American labels so they can still be called "indie:.

Shane, Warped Tour is horrendous this year. You fail at music if you go to that show.

I'm pretty excited for the at Coachella, my friend was talking about how pumped he was on seeing them hear so I promised him I'd make sure I caught their show in California! I'm pretty pumped for The Rapture, Girl Talk, Blonde Redhead, Air, MSTRKRFT and many more!
-
Oerdin come hang out with us, are you camping?
-
This is one of those times where I REALLY FUCKING WISH I HADN'T LEFT CALIFORNIA OH MY GODDDD.
-

Tool did play but so did Iron & Wine.
I don't recall Iron & Wine being at Coachella last year.
As far as Tool playing last year, the tools who were watching that show missed out on an awesome Art Brut show (and a pretty kick ass Scissor Sisters show from what I was told). While festivals can be great fun, picking one act over another can be a pain sometimes.
-
Haha, that would be the infamous golden thong show.
The Scissor Sisters had a pretty long delay due to technical difficulties, during which Jake Shears stripped down to a golden thong and danced to entertain the crowd.
So, is anyone going to Pitchfork?
-
I'll be at Pitchfork... I've already gotten the tickets, now I am just working on convincing my cousin to let me crash at her place for a few days so we don't need to get a hotel again this year (we are taking the http://www.megabus.com (http://www.megabus.com) from Detroit so we re trying to do the entire trip on the cheap!!)
-
I'll keep my punkass at Warped Tour.
Shane, Warped Tour is horrendous this year. You fail at music if you go to that show.
Bad Religion is one of my favorite punk bands of all time. That alone is worth the $20.
Anyway, how else would I get to yell sexy things at the chick from Paramore?
-
Coachella 2007 is going to be worth all two grand I'm pouring into the trip out to California. And with forty-eight something hours before the festival commences, I am dripping with excitement.
I am saddened that many of the acts I want to see are going to be overlapping each other. As I saw from the website: VNV Nation is going to be playing the same time as Rage Against The Machine, The Arcade Fire vs Decemberists, etc. It'll be interesting to see where fans loyalties lie.
-
I've honestly never heard any songs by VNV Nation but I'll make sure to watch them this weekend.

I camped the last two years but this year it's going to be the hotel. I guess the girlfriend and I are not kids any more. ;)
-
*raises hand*
going friday with two dear friends.
(and making the attempt to sneak in sat/sun if at all possible with the crazy security they have nowadays)
:police: *bribe* :angel:
set times officially out: http://coachella.com/event/set-times
arcade fire and coco rosie at the same time.... evil evil.

Since when is Roky fucking Erickson playing shows again? I'm so happy he's mentally competent again.
