The Cure Booked For Coachella Festival
The Cure will headline the second night of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on May 2 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif.,
according to a post on the group's official Web site. Event organizers confirmed the report to Billboard.com.
The site also reports the addition of the Flaming Lips to the event lineup, which will also feature Radiohead, Kraftwerk and the
reunion of the Pixies, as well as Air, Prefuse 73, the Thrills, Electric Six and LCD Soundsystem, among many others yet to be confirmed.
Coachella tickets will cost $75 for one day and $140 for both days. The Cure's appearance follows a rapturously received set at last
September's Inland Invasion concert outside of Los Angeles. As previously reported, the group will on Jan. 27 be the subject of "Join the
Dots," a four-CD boxed set from Fiction/Elektra/Rhino. |
I'm
stoked..I've gone every year and knew this year wouldn't be any different, but I'm glad there are some damn fine bands playing..Ima
Robot would just top it all for me..The only thing that sucks is that the last two years, I've noticed a steady increase of frat dicks and
sorority chicks there, which is just annoying..And to prove my point, my brother and his girlfriend are going this year! Ha! The first year was SO
kick back and everyone was so nice..Ahh..And Beck headlined..Morrissey played..Chemical Brothers made me dance like I've never danced
before..Ahhh..What a great year for Coachella..
