Coachella Lineup: Save Your Energy for Sunday

Your actual, personal experience at the modern music and/or arts festival rarely centers around the headliners. But when you look at an initial artist announcement, it’s difficult to draw your attention to anyone but the biggest names on the page. Keeping that in view, Coachella‘s lineup at first glance looks somewhat suspect, with only three of the big dogs scratching me right where I itch.

Coachella

Sunday’s most appealing, with the My Morning Jacket > Roger Waters’ Dark Side of the Moon couplet finishing off April’s three-day event. Though if Coachella is any bit as grueling as many patrons have expressed, I’d imagine there’s only so much gas left in the tank for the impending three-hour marathon of awesome rock > classic rock.

Still, the bands on the “undercard” look promising, and you can’t go wrong with daytime sets from Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Rilo Kiley, Spank Rock, Black Lips, The Bees, Akron/Family, MGMT, Gogol Bordello, Les Savy Fav and scores (literally!) more. But no matter what you think of the lineup, you gotta believe that even if it’s just for one day, that can’t be a bad attempt at seeing some good music.

So what are your thoughts? Enough to drag you out to the middle of nowhere?
