Depeche Mode to Headline Coachella

[Jason Tate]

As expected, the seventh Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival will return April 29-30 to Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif. The first night will be headlined by legendary electro-pop act Depeche Mode, sources have confirmed to Billboard.com (http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id= 1001658644).

usually bands only play coachella once, with some exceptions of course, but the fest is only in its seventh year, so that could be a thing of the past. but if it was depeche mode and radiohead, wowe wow wow.

the mars volta played the fest 2 or 3 years in a row when it first started out. So it could happen

anyone else see that weird rumor of a Smith reunion? That seems unlikely but worth a flight from anywhere!

i guess. but morrissey plays most of the better smiths songs anyways.... sometimes the rumored coachella line ups are better than the real ones.

Also I think Bright Eyes plays every year

[romantic rights]

bright eyes have played once

you can go to the coachella website and look at the posters that contain the full line ups of all the past years.

Depeche Mode are swell live. Their stage presence is a little cheesy at times, but they are the gods of the 80's, after all. Hearing songs like Enjoy The Silence live is incredible.
