Coachella Fans Openly Campaigning for Different Headliner than The Killers
When the lineup for this year's Coachella was announced, a lot of people voiced dissatisfaction at the fact that The Killers were the second day's headliners because they are small beans when compared to other headliners in the past (and the other headliners of this year, the Cure and Paul McCartney). There's speculation that The Killers are a placeholder who will be replaced by a bigger name closer to the date, but the Coachella message board hoard has taken to the Coachella website demanding a bigger headliner.
Among the suggested headliners: Metallica, Bob Dylan, Kanye West, David Bowie (who was speculated as a headliner), Wu Tang Clan, and, uh, Coldplay.
The Bowie one would be amazing, but I'm not sure Coldplay would really be a step up from the Killers. I can't blame the message board peeps though--I'd feel hosed if I finally shelled out for Coachella thinking I might see Daft Punk or Prince, and got The Killers instead. [Daily Swarm]

Guess what... in Belgium they had a better idea: Coldplay and The Killers are headlining the same day, Coldplay right after The Killers..
And to be honest I'd rather have Coldplay as a headliner than the annoying Killers
I thought this was indie music not pop

lollapalooza and pitchfork are better music festivals. save up more cash and take a flight to chicago.

I'm sick of your Killers-bashing, Prefix. get ooover yourself already jesus christ. You jump at very chance you get to whine about them, it's pathetic. And the people at the Coachella board complain about everything (including Paul McCartney- go see for yourself if you don't believe me) so I'm sorry but this is not news.
ugh
Yeah Prefix, you guys need to put up or shut up about the Killers. Are you human, or are you dancer?
shuddup mattycakes! go listen to girls aloud. Prefix #1. Da Best.
I think Prefix should cover more Tokio Hotel.
I would have loved to see Bowie return to the stage.
asdfghjkl
Who in the hell are The Killers?
A group of people I hired to come over to your house.
You better grow eyes in the back of your head, a-sshole.
This Year Coachella its not good!!!!

The Killers are a great band. Paul Mcartney has not done anything good since The Beatles.

The Killers are going to be legendary, just wait and see. This web site is a joke, especially mattycakes who still doesn't understand the line from "Human". What a shame.
