Coachella 2008 Lineup!!!! Jack Johnson? WTF?
Okay so below is the poster for Coachella 2008! There are ALOT of really great acts on there! We're still going DESPITE the fact that Jack Johnson is playing. I'm sorry Jack Johnson fans. IMO he's not Coachella material AND hes not headliner material. At least not by Coachella standards. BUT... i am very optimistic. They may add more acts ( I feel like Sunday is lacking a little don't you think?)
and go ahead. Let Jack Johnson play. At least I know since I won't be watching his set... I'll be free to watch someone else that I like. With that being said... here are the acts I am looking forward too that I've never seen...
FRIDAY
SATURDAY
SUNDAY
Well I gather that we'll prolly be spending alot of time in The Sahara Tent... AGAIN!!!!! So I love dance music. I really wanted to see Radiohead live or My Bloody Valentine live. Chemical Brothers or The Prodigy. Or even Muse or Bowie. All these acts I just mentioned were just some of the rumours that were running rampant before the announcement. ANY of these would be BETTER than Jack Johnson. Okay , really I'm over it! Okay I'm not. Jack -Freakin- Johnson. I'm from Hawaii and I dislike Jack Johnson. Sorry. I'm not a hater. Oh well, someone mentioned that Paul Tollett, the main dude for Coachella & GV said that he has some tricks up his sleeves. I wonder what that means?
