As what pointed out earlier, the Coachella lineup has been announced. Suggestions on acts to start checking out?

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jan 25 '13, 14:44

I thought I was getting better at this whole festival thing but there's only a handful of acts that I'd add to try to schedule list at this point. Of course it has only been like a day at this point

Friday
Blur, YYYs, Dog Blood (Seeing Boys Noize is kind of Coahella tradition for me), How to Destroy Angels, Tegan and Sara, Beach House, Metric, Of Monsters and Men, Youth Lagoon

Sat
New Order, Moby, Violent Femmes, Bat for Lashes, Dropkick Murphys, Janelle Monae

Sun
Social Distortion, Wu-Tang Clan, La Roux, Grimes, OMD!, Paul Oakenfold, Jessie Ware, Airborne Toxic Event
