Coachella Lineup | April 15-17

The Coachella 2011 lineup has been released, and is packed with absolutely fantastic bands!

With that said, I wish the "headliners" would have been replaced with other bands that are playing the festival (read as: no KOL headliner on Friday), but at least everyone who attends will have the opportunity to see so many fantastic bands all for the price of a 3-day ticket (around $300...which is pretty expensive for a 3-day festival).

Also, I guess everyone was thinking DAFT PUNK would play this year, but I didn't really think that would happen anyway...but I would have bought a ticket instantly if they were on the bill.

Just by taking a glance at the poster, here is who I would want to see each day:

Friday:
KOL
Black Keys
Interpol
The Chemical Brothers
Lauryn Hill
Brandon Flowers
Crystal Castles
Cee Lo
Cut Copy
Cold War Kids
Sleigh Bells
Boyz Noize
Flogging Molly
!!!
The Drums

Saturday:
Arcade Fire
Bright Eyes
The Kills
One Day as a Lion
Erykah Badu
Scissor Sisters
The Swell Season
Two Door Cinema Club
Jenny and Johnny
Yacht

Sunday:
The Strokes
Kanye
Duran Duran
Nas & Damien Marley
Jimmy Eat World
Neon Trees
Best Coast
Jack's Mannequin


It looks like I prefer Friday and Saturday over Sunday's lineup, but I would hate to miss The Strokes after their fantastic ACL appearance.

Even though I wouldn't pay this much for an ACL 3-day pass, if they could get some of these bands to play the 2011 festival, I would be happier with the increase cost in ticket prices.
