McCartney, Killers, Cure Coachella Bound!

08:45 AM, Friday 1/30/09 10 |   |

The wait is over and the bogus posters have come to an end. The official word is out. Paul McCartney, The Killers and The Cure top the roster for this year’s version of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

The April 17-19 event will once again return to the Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif.

Other acts signed on to perform in the California desert include Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, Leonard Cohen, Amy Winehouse, Thievery Corporation, TV on the Radio, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Throbbing Gristle, Lupe Fiasco, Paul Weller, Peter Bjorn and John, X, Beirut, The Black Keys, Girl Talk, Antony & the Johnsons, MSTRKRFT and many, many more.

For fans finding it hard to dig up $269 for a three-day pass, there’s hope. Festival organizers Goldenvoice are offering two layaway options for purchasing tickets: half down and the rest April 1 or 10 percent followed by equal installments on March 1 and April 1. The plans are only available online and don’t apply to $99 single-day tickets.  However, these options are available only through February 28.

Complete info on tickets, camping, other activities and the full lineup is available at Coachella.com.

    I really have to go to this one.  The lineup is pretty damn good and Paul McCartney?!!

    I've heard only good things about this festival besides all the bands that I've seen & haven't seen.  Does anyone know about what hotels are around Indigo, CA?  

    Much Abliged

    Definatley a great lineup.  I read that it isnt finished yet, Killers as the Saturday headliner?  I like the killers, but they arent Coachella headliner worthy.

    Thanks AZ

    Someone was telling me that hanging out in Palm Springs would be the best bet as far as hotels go.  From what I'm hearing Coachella ends at midnight because of curfew or some noise ordinance & Palm Springs has a nice little nightlife going on.  This is already starting to become a huge production but, I don't mind flying from Seattle to any concert that's gonna be as cool as this.
