Or is it? No, no it’s not. This flier arrived in our inbox Saturday and we almost believed it because why would anyone’s fantasy lineup include the Faint? Bowie, Radiohead, MBV and the rest after the jump. The fakeouts start earlier every year.

ouch, shot through the heart.
oh sweet god please
Oh, god, please: The Knife, Röyksopp and Aphex Twin? Radiohead, Animal Collective, David Bowie and Vampire Weekend?
Why must people mess with us like this!!!
LOUIS XIV???
The thought of Lauryn Hill at Coachella is intriguing.
What I love about Coachella is this: when the real line-up is eventually announced, it will be as unique and head-scratchingly weird as this one.
de
While this would be one of the best line-ups of all time, why would MBV possibly headline Sunday night over Bowie or Radiohead? That should’ve been the first clue of a hoax.
possibly because it would mark MBV’s return?
If you’re going to pass off a “real” line-up, at least make it believable. Louis XIV would not be in huge letters near the top (Do they still even exist?), bands like Okkervil River, The National, the Avalanches and Girl Talk wouldn’t be in such a small font, Serj Tankian wouldn’t even play unless his album came out the week right after Coachella weekend, and so forth. Come on people, don’t you know the drill by now? I like the nighttime moon theme, though.
Goldenvoice should just reformat the poster altogether.
For one, why would a fantasy line up NOT contain the Faint?
For two, obviously Godspeed You! Black Emperor would not play something like Coachella, if they were playing shows at all anymore.
I was there. Great shows.
take out the faint and throw outkast on there and we’re good to go.
When I saw the Knife listed I knew it was fake. I doubt they will make music or play a show again, ever.
Who still likes The Faint?
the postal service?
Looks about right to me. I think at least 55% of this will be the line up. While we’re at it. Can anyone predict who will possibly headline Bonnaroo this year?
it’s patrick watson. not patrick wilson. so many times i’ve seen that done. so retarded.
What’s wrong with the Faint? Seriously.
coming to the defense of the faint here. i mean, just cause surfers like em. gosh.
There are many flaws in that…
The biggest being that Postal Service haven’t done anything since Give Up and don’t play live shows. Also I heard from an inside source Death Cab’s on the bill.
oh, come on… this fake has been out for months… and stereogum should know how long paul tollett waits to put this thing together. this is inaccurate and lame.
thank god this is a fake. other than the headliner this is mostly a bunch of lame bands. so many bad la wannabe bands on this one. eww…
Sara Barielles? That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all month!
um, is there really any point in posting this if it’s fake?
i woudlnt go.
sweet jesus i would kill for this to be real.
not that i could go, since i can’t drive. but still. it’s the principle of the thing.
David Bowie, MBV and Radiohead? shit.
also, the Airborne Toxic Event…I almost believed it.
*sob*
i almost had a heart attack when i came across GY!BE
i hate my friend forever for sending me the picture..
too bad its a pile of bullshit, i would have cut off two limbs to see GY!BE do one more show.
HELL YEAH I WOULD FOR SURE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only bands missing are WEEZER and Modest Mouse
okay im gonna have a heart attack*dies*
the worst part is I can only go to ONE DAY. AUGH!!!!
debating friday or saturday -____-
oh its a fake.
DAMN.
oh its a fake.
DAMN.
I would give my right, and quite possibly my left nut as well to see Royksopp live.
If the Knife were actually playing I’d piss myself. And M83! Hopefully it will be part real which is basically what all of you want too, though, differently. Comment boards are so stupid what am I doing here.
Aphex Twin a line beneath Broken Social Scene? Nay, methinks.
If this was real I would sell my actual soul to go.
The Knife are touring next Spring/Summer, likely starting in the USA in April or May. Talks of Coachella.
The Postal Service aren’t playing any live shows for the indefinite future.
Aphex Twin is being his tricky self, but he hasn’t said no yet.
Bowie won’t be there. Neither will Zeppelin dum-dums.
Maybe Richard Ashcroft will do a duet with Chris Martin.
WHAT THE FUCK, radiohead, david bowie, and MBV is pitchfork music. get the fuck out, hipsters.
Dammit.
My friend told me about this line-up the other day and I nearly had hot flashes.
why is my bloody valentine the headliner on the FINAL day? seems pretty weak after Rage Against the Machine closed last years festival, if they want to even remotely try and top that, they need a better closing act.
this would suck. at a normal coachella its already hard enough to pick witch stage to go to… and m83s name is too small.
Um, what is good about Girl Talk anyhow? I checked him out because i’d read so much about it……but It’s just some bozo with a laptop. Am I missing something, or is this actually an emperor’s new clothes scenario?
this is too good to be true…
Amazing line up!
Can’t go wrong with Broken Social Scene and all the rest. But It’s too good to be true
MIA and Oppenheimer should be on there too.
you shouldn’t do that to my heart.
ever.
all three headliners are too amazing.
ya joiks!
ahhhh, no electronic dance music fans here? lol
GABRIEL&DRESDEN, MARKUS SCHULZ, ARMIN VAN BUUREN, ROYKSOPP, and DJ IRENE??
i wishhhhhh
The line-up is sort of like last years, a little strange a little unbelievable but just enough for people to attend it. AND can everyone get over MIA she f-ing sucks live! See Lolla last year and any other tour she’s been on.
this is from one of the many threads of the rumor section of our message board. There is even a blank fake poster for you to make your own dream line up.

i know this is way late, but i just had to comment about that patrick watson/wilson post. seriously man?
I have to admit, I did kinda fall for this at first BUT I was extremely confused. I DID predict that Radiohead would be there (I also hope ’cause they’re my ultimate favorite band) but postal service? The Knife?? Lauren hill??? Hey, what;s goin’ on here?
This is so fake, no om records djs on the list, go through all the other line ups and om records djs are on their, like derrick carter mark farina colette and so on, plus there should be more electronica, if this was the line up i would be very sad…puthedic
if this were real.. i wouldn’t go this year
this is wrong, sorry. some may be right, but its all basicly wrong
you forgot about the BREEDERS who have confirmed with Rolling Stones and their website that they will be playing the 25th at coachella.
its funny how people hype all this nonsense because they think they know who is playing.
you are right about VHS or BETA, aswell as PORTISHEAD did say they were playing.
still, THE BREEDERS BABY!

I wish the one that did that horrible joke or whatever it is..gets castrated or whatever..and his eyes get burnt by the light of the sun…slowly and painfully…and all his/ her sking tores off her/his body…without the option of dying!!! muahhaah!
ok…I think that’s all
Radiohead + Modeselektor + Broken Social Scene in a day. Whew. 24-hour eargasm. Why don’t we add Daft Punk and THE SMITHS while we’re at it?
Those aren’t even the right days. Coachella this year starts on the 17th.
