that tour was booked long before Jay-Z was asked to play Coachella.... i've noticed nationwide tours seem to be exceptions to the LA booking exclusion rule (except when they use Coachella as the 'LA' date for that tour).

Originally posted by DjWoody I went to a rave at the Polo Fields before. It was way back when there weren't any houses around. It was literary in the middle of nowhere.

that was Nocturnal most likely.... one of the best EDM events i've ever been to in my life

ah. didn't realize they did raves at the Polo fields before Coachella/Nocturnal... are you sure it was on the exact same location? reason i'm asking is i remember the local residents hated the bass pounding all nite from Nocturnal and said no more after that per my recollection... so i'm a bit surprised to hear that wasn't the first rave on the Polo fields

funny thing is i still have the full-page color ad for Nocturnal from the LA Weekly....

yeah- it wouldn't surprise me if we got another headliner for friday. Namely, the Beastie Boys. Given Jay's current status in hip hop I wonder if they'd really drop him down under the Beasties, though.

Beastie Boys are probably in a similar situation to Princes -- they waited to announce him because he wasn't sure if he'd play due to surgery...and now they wait to announce the Beastie Boys because there's still uncertainty due to illness. That's kind of what it feels like to me.

It won't be the Beastie Boys.

source?

I heard a rumor that The Rolling Stones are going to be the suprise headliner but their are always rumors about who might get added.

I thought for sure the Beastie Boys where going to be there becuase of all the hype before the lineup came out.

I have no source, I'm just basing my opinion off of years of reading speculative Coachella forum threads and news articles and then comparing them to the actual lineups. Since I was right about Underworld...

... I'll go double or nothing for Beastie Boys.

it's easy enough to say someone won't play. what's your best guess for who will then? beastie boys were rumored for a while...they're just one addition that wouldn't entirely surprise me, that's all.

Because they've been heavily rumored every year since they played there in 2003, and every year it hasn't come true. Not to mention the whole bit about Yauch's cancer. The odds are stacked against them.
