Coachella Lineup

Is the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival still relevant? At least one commentator believes that while it used to warrant a significant investment of time and money, Coachella has in recent years become just another top heavy three day concert. This perception is apparently based on a too small lineup of Big Names.

Odds are lots and lots of people will go anyway. And when they do they will choose among:

* 43 performers on Friday, April 17.
These will include Franz Ferdinand, the Black Keys, Girl Talk, Leonard Cohen, Morrissey, and Paul McCartney.

* 41 performers on Saturday, April 18.
These will include Bob Mould Band, Amy Winehouse (unless she's in jail, in rehab, or dead), Henry Rollins, The Killers, Superchunk, and TV On The Radio.

* 37 performers on Sunday,April 19
These will include The Cure, Jenny Lewis, Lupe Fiasco, My Bloody Valentine, Public Enemy, Throbbing Gristle, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and X.

Is that enough? If not, you can view the full lineup [here] and decide.
