So any new announcements?

I'd be happy with All Tvvins, Catfish and the bottlemen and Wild Beasts. I ain't greedy

Nice to see LCD Soundsystem covering Prince's Controversy at the second weekend in Coachella.

Well, I'm happy to let you know that Wild Beasts are already playing!!:D

The second wave of acts was announced on May 5th last year so can we expect the same time for the second announcement this year, twenty three acts were announced on the second wave so hopefully some more interesting acts.

I have never met anyone so rabidly excited as to compare dates and numbers of acts announced from year to year as you bodhrandude.

Take a look at the Glastonbury Chat thread in efestivals, they constantly talk about the line up non-stop so why should it be any different on this thread.

That's a pity, would have been nice additions

You probably wouldn't mind the German band Can though judging by yer user name.

More chance of Prince unfortunately :-/

Damn, no Corrs.

I dunno, it's still two weeks before hand, could still happen, we'd probably need Belsonic to sell out before an announcement though.

Shame though, would love madness

MadYaker

**** The Corrs. Would have liked to see Noel though.

BadTurtle

No-one ****s with the Corrs.
Jim solves the world's greatest mysteries in his free time.

But he has yet to solve the greatest mystery of all : The success of the Corrs.

BadTurtle

That's no a mystery, they are the greatest Irish band of all time. Why else would their albums be sold alongside leprechaun hats and castle fridge magnets to American tourists?

I bet you were at the front for Sharon Corr at EP 2011. :D

I'm not so sure, he's played Dublin and Belfast together a few times on recent tours and despite gigging a lot this year has yet to play an Irish date.

Paddy2012

sorry for the double post, not sure how that happened

Rewind83

Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows if they are running the green camping area this year?

Probably best asking on their bookface page

watching over some Coachella sets and the big surprise is Miami Horror. i knew their songs but didn't expect them to be this good live. just the perfect mix between dance funk and live instruments.

edward sharpe and matt & kim be great additions as well. all three are presumably realistic

Surprised there is no LCD clips up in the Coachella youtube channel considering they filmed the whole performance. Theres a good clip though of the Despacio tent that graced Electric Picnic last year.

Fcuk that it should be a main announcement, not a daft wee stage.

Why not both?

Well that would be even better, I must've walked by the Other Voices stage about fifty times last year, I kept forgetting it was an actual stage.

For anyone hoping for PJ Harvey it ain't gonna happen, I was looking at the Green Man festival thread in Efestivals and someone asked about PJ Harvey the festival replied or tweeted, "We tried very hard but she's not extending her tour beyond the dates she's announced x."

Still might not mean though that's she's got festival dates locked and signed for which could be contract embargoed.
