Toronto – Summer is coming. I know it sounds like a long way a ways when there is three feet of snow outside and the sun sets at 4:00 pm, but summer is coming. It is inevitable. With summer, comes music festivals. Everyone loves a good music festival. Today marks the beginning of summer festival scouting season as one of the big North American festivals – Coachella – announced their lineup. As per usual with Coachella, it is a blend of everything old and new. Headling Friday will be Paul McCartney, Saturday will be The Killers and headlining Sunday (again) will the the Cure. Head over to Coachella.com for the full lineup.. here are some key acts:
Friday
Paul McCartney
Morrissey
Franz Ferdinand
Leonard Cohen
Beirut
Saturday
The Killers
Amy Winehouse
Thievery Corporation
TV on the Radio
Fleet Foxes
Booker T & the DBTs (can you diiiiiiiiiiiig it)
Sunday
The Cure
My Bloody Valentine
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Groove Armada
Paul Weller
Definitely a decent lineup. I went to Coachella a few years ago when Radiohead and The Cure headlined and it was a great time. I definitely enjoyed the Mexican food I had. One word of advice if you go – it’s f’n hot there, bring shorts or something.

Well, at least they didn’t bring back Jack Johnson.
How weird is it to have Paul McCartney, Morrissey, and Leonard Cohen all play the Friday? I guess that day is over the hill white guy day.

I want to go back to Coachella. I also went the year Radiohead and The Cure were the headliners – that was such a fantastic Coachella, getting to see those headliners plus The Flaming Lips, Belle and Sebastian, Air, Pixies, Death Cab For Cutie, Broken Social Scene, Trail of the dead, and more, all within the span of two days.
