The 2010 Coachella line up was announced today and what’s better than making the annual trek to Palm Springs for some fun in the sun… poolside cookouts, plenty of cold adult beverages, good friends and a plethora of live music — we are so there! Narrowing it down to an overall top-five is impossible, narrowing it down to a top-five per day is barely manageable (you might as well throw a dart at the line up poster cause wherever you land, will most likely be a great set), but here’s our attempt. See all you weekend warriors in the desert…tix on-sale on Friday.
DAY 1: FRIDAY
5/ Fever Ray – psych goth elctro pop (yes, that combo is possible) – we’ve heard strange things about her show and going out of sheer curiosity
4/ Echo & The Bunnymen – iconic band who have probably influenced half the indie bands you love now
3/ LCD Soundsystem – despite the what you may think, LCD puts on a killer live show with live instrumentation
2/ The Whitest Boy Alive - cause Erlend Øye is the shit
1/ Jay-Z: the HOVA himself
DAY 2: SATURDAY
5/ Tokyo Police Club - indie darlings we <3
4/ Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Join the commune!
3/ Band of Skulls - this UK rock band will blow you away
2/ Hot Chip - we’ve yet to see them, but are HUGE fans – HUGE!
1/ FAITH NO (freakin) MORE - enough said!
DAY 3 SUNDAY:
5/ Sly & The Family Stone - go old school. how many times in your life will you see Sly & The Family Stone?
4/ Florence + The Machine - maybe The XX will make a special appearance for “You’ve Got The Love” – LOVE that remix!
3/ Pavement - any guy who grew up in the 90’s wet dream. sorry girls, good luck pushing your way to the front for this one
2/ Thom Yorke - no brainer, wouldn’t miss those dance moves… and the music is pretty good too.. ; )
