    It's not a TOTAL shitshow :-)

    Yeah, it's rife with trust-fund babies, frat boys and scene chicks, but it's still a pretty positive experience. EDM has its crowd, but so does rock'n'fuckin'roll! I was pleased to see bands like The Arcs and Guns N Roses draw some pretty decent crowds.

    The fest is attended by a bunch of people who wouldn't know good music if it sat on their faces, and some of the acts are pure garbage, (and for the life of me I can't understand how Calvin Harris made the main stage this year), but rock still draws - and Pearl Jam is needed in 2017 :-)

    Welp... Looks like 2017 Coachella is all decided. There was a leak on Reddit a day ago following DJ Khaled's announcement he'll be at Coachella 2017...

    Coachella 2017 Headliners are:

    Radiohead
    Beyoncé
    Kendrick Lamar

    I'm actually pretty jazzed about all three - just caught Radiohead at ACL Fest last week... Such an amazing show...

    Still... Will continually look forward to seeing Pearl Jam some time on a Coachella line-up.

    I figured Radiohead was going to be there since they played such a small venue in LA back in August, and it was a Goldenvoice promoted show/venue.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see Green Day there. The tour they just announced is lacking an LA date and wraps up in San Diego on 4/8, less than a week before weekend 1.
    Heard Smashing Pumpkins are possibly taking offers for reunion dates next year, after James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlain joined Billy on stage in LA.
    There's also been Daft Punk rumors, as there are pretty much every year. There's a little more too it this time around, as there's an Alive2017.com website that people are pointing to, and internet sleuths have apparently dug into the site's code and it has coordinates for different cities around the world, one of which is Indio. Guess it falls in line with previous Alive 1997 and Alive 2007 years. I could go for some Robot Rock in the desert.
    Of the other ones you mentioned, Beyoncé would be surprising considering she played both the Rose Bowl and Dodger Stadium within the last year but I'm sure there would be demand.
    Kendrick Lamar headlined FYF Fest back in August (LCD Soundsystem too), which is smaller scale festival wise.
    Skipped Coachella this year for the first time in six years so I'm hoping next year will tempt me back out.

    70k people who will ignore great bands all day in favor of EDM and then show up for twenty minutes of Radiohead just to say they were there

    This year was my first Coachella experience. I avoided EDM at all costs. Caught so many amazing bands that weekend - It's worth the price of admission if you do it right. I like the EDM kids..they burn out on ecstasy by mid afternoon and leave. Was pretty pissed Calvin Harris was a headliner, but I got to see The Front Bottoms (excellent band, great live presence), LCD Soundsystem, Guns N' Roses (!!), Lord Huron, the Last Shadow Puppets, The Arcs (!!), Ice Cube, Disclosure, Chvrches, Gary Clark Jr, Silversun Pickups, the 1975, Rancid, Sia, Death Grips (!!), Run the Jewels, Moon Taxi, Miike Snow, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Nightsweats, Wolf Alice, and Alessia Cara. All those bands/acts in the same place - Definitely worth the price of admission.

    EDM fans don't bother me... they usually burnout from extensive drug use by mid afternoon. More room to get closer to the rail for the good bands.

    Wouldn't be surprised if the Coachella people try a 90's version of Oldchella in the next few years. Maybe PJ, reunited SP, NIN, RATM (Prophets?) RHCP, and Beck. Or maybe Oasis if they ever reunite. (trying to to think of the biggest 90s rock acts who could headline big festivals still)

    Think Coachella makes sense next year but wouldn't that prohibit west coast dates since they are a headliner? At least around the time of the festival?

    I could see Coachella, then Europe in June and that's it for next year. My guess at least.

    Also a club date in NYC around the HOF (please)

    The leak indicates the three headliners are Radiohead, Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar... Still hoping there'll be a Pearl Jam tour on the west coast in the spring...

    If an original Smashing Pumpkins lineup does reunite, and does so at a festival, there's no way that it wouldn't be at Lollapalooza. And while I'm sure GV is still definitely trying to get the Talking Heads and the Smiths every year, it's true that the average Coachella attendee these days has probably never even heard of either of those bands before. But I'm not sure it's fair to dismiss Coachella as an EDM fest now; EDM has always had a pivotal role there. 2016 may have been the first time a DJ had his name on the top line of a day, but it wasn't the first time one had even closed out the main stage - Tiësto in 2007 was the first, I think? Maybe even before that.

    All that being said, Pearl Jam on the polo grounds again all these years later would be pretty magical.

    Not a fan. And i love hip hop and indie rock.

    Its always the same middle cards at these festivals. Radiohead is always nice. Same with Kendrick. Hans zimmer will be interested and survive should be good. Other than that pretty boring.

    Been to every Coachella except for two of them, and, IMHO, this is the least interesting line-up of all of 'em!

    No reunions, no real punk/New Wave legacy acts except for New Order, who aren't the same without Peter Hook.

    We may opt for BottleRock if the logistics work out.

    That would be amazing. Would be crazy to get to it, but would be awesome. Webster Hall?

    The year in which they booked blur & the Stone Roses (which to me was Awesome!!!, but was like a ghost town in from of the stage) seemed to signal the death of nostalgic one offs for rock acts. GnR is an exception, but it seems that they've moved away from big, really cool, unique, reunions to more pop acts. Having no appeal to Pop/EDM/Hip Hop, I'm realizing at the age of 36, that I'm no longer the target demographic for Coachella. I was really looking forward to one last trip to the desert before we have our first kid in July, but there's no way I'd spend the cash to travel from Vancouver to see that lineup. (Hoping Radiohead and Bon Iver make stops in the PNW before/after Coachella). Seriously Beyonce?? What's next, Taylor Swift?
