Yesterday I said something<\/a> about how one should not, dear reader(s), be surprised to see British Sea Power at the festivals this year because, “theirs is a festival sound.” And then I linked to the Coachella site<\/a>. Well, the folks at Golden Voice must have noticed and decided to show me up by actually announcing the lineup just hours after I linked. I’m here to tell you that British Sea Power will NOT be showing up at Coachella this year.<\/p>\n

But the lineup is better than I remember for a while. For once, all three headliners haven’t actually headlined the festival before. And further, you couldn’t get a more diverse lineup.<\/p>\n

\"Coachella<\/p>\n

I can already see some conflicts brewing. Can you? Oh, is the print a little small? Do we need a magnifying glass? Never fear, there’s a complete list of the acts after the jump.<\/p>\n

It looks as if Sasha & Digweed are gonna wrap the Sahara just before Portishead takes the main stage. I can deal with that. And I love the Rockets, but Roger Waters is a titan. Can’t miss him. Friday’s late evening conflict seems to be Fatboy Slim and Swell Season (I told you Glen Hansard had a good year<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The rest I’ll just have to play as it happens. There are a lot of marvelous opportunities in there. I’m From Barcelona? Autolux? Akron\/Family? Sandra Collins? Battles??<\/p>\n

Good times, they are a comin.’<\/p>\n
