Gotta see My Bloody Valentine play in front of a crowd that large! Epic noise...epic crowd size! Scale changes everything!
March 18, 2009 at 2:11 p.m.

Some great bands playing, but I haven't seen The Chemical Brothers since April 20th, 2001. Blew my mind.
March 18, 2009 at 2:34 p.m.

I'm sure many will agree but.. I am looking forward to seeing Girl Talk since it's always a dance party at his shows.

Can never miss a chance to see the Cure in the US! Loved them since I was 10 years old! I would also love to see Girl Talk. Missed him when he came to Nashville, and not sure he will be invited back. Ha! I heard it was the best party ever!
March 18, 2009 at 2:48 p.m.

Lots of great artists on the lineup, but my favorite: Ghostland Observatory are amazing live.

The Black Keys! I saw them in Red Rocks last summer and they ROCKED! (pun intended)
March 18, 2009 at 3:47 p.m.

I want to see almost all of them, but my top pick would have to be X.
March 18, 2009 at 3:58 p.m.

It's a tie between Leonard Cohen and My Bloody Valentine for me.
March 18, 2009 at 3:58 p.m.

I would say MBV is my most desired artist, due to the rarity of their performances. This goes for Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney, Throbbing Gristle, The Orb and Murder City Devils as well.
March 18, 2009 at 4:07 p.m.

Also Fleet Foxes
March 18, 2009 at 4:09 p.m.

Leonard Cohen is my top pick.
March 18, 2009 at 4:17 p.m.

The Yeah Yeah Yeah's new album is amazing, so I'd kill to see them.
March 18, 2009 at 4:26 p.m.

god so many, Leonard Cohen is a must, Presets, Fleet Foxes, TV on the Radio, YYY, Hercules and Love Affair and Devendra Banhart are all close seconds. Oh and getting kicked in the head by Anton Newcombe
March 18, 2009 at 4:30 p.m.

Man that's close between Hercules and Love Affair and Blitzen Trapper. I always seem to miss them when they're in town.
March 18, 2009 at 4:30 p.m.

TV on the Radio.... one of the best albums of last year
March 19, 2009 at 11:51 a.m.

i <3 u
March 19, 2009 at 11:51 a.m.

How can I possibly list name just one artist or band? There's just too many that I want to see - and that list included Amy Winehouse before she dropped out. But in all honesty, I sighed when I saw Los Campesinos! in the line-up.

"And woe is me / And woe is you / And woe is us, together."

Bring us together, please!

By the way, I'm retweeting this @iexitmusic.
March 19, 2009 at 12:37 p.m.

Whoo boy: Beirut are amazing, any chance to see them again would make my life. Also the Black Keys, TV on the Radio, LupetheFiasco, Devendra Banhart, Calexico, and plus I hear that Leonard Cohen can still rock a stage, and the Cure and Paul McCartney would be worth just being within miles of.
March 19, 2009 at 12:39 p.m.

The cure
Biggest band on earth.
March 19, 2009 at 1 p.m.

You really shouldn't make fun of Robert Smith, Sobitas. He isn't that fat.

Who are we kiddin'?
He's a fat clown.
March 19, 2009 at 1:20 p.m.

Like John Wayne Gacy, but with less killer talent.
March 19, 2009 at 2:22 p.m.

Leonard Cohen hasn't playing in America in 15 years. His show's have almost always cost 300 dollars or pounds when I've tried to go in the past.

I'd be missing out on a chance of a life time!
March 19, 2009 at 2:32 p.m.

So stoked to see The Black Keys and Noah & the Whale.
March 19, 2009 at 2:45 p.m.

After all the years of refusal, give me my Morrissey, please!
March 19, 2009 at 4:39 p.m.

March 19, 2009 at 5:44 p.m.

I would love to See TV on the Radio. I think they would be awesome at a venue like Coachella.
March 19, 2009 at 6:19 p.m.

Leonard Cohen and Jenny Lewis are the fantastic icing on the cake of Paul lol
March 19, 2009 at 6:53 p.m.

March 20, 2009 at 12:24 p.m.

My Bloody Valentine, for the fact that they have summed up their members and decided to reunite. It's always interesting to see how their music influenced other bands and see them perform live.

Leonard Cohen, just because he has written so many memorable lyrics in his life and given such great material for other musicians to cover.

Molotov because Mexican rock music is being represented. I've loved these guys since 2000 and can't get enough of them. I want to see the chaos that their show will ensue.
March 20, 2009 at 12:25 p.m.

Sir Paul McCartney!
March 20, 2009 at 12:27 p.m.

Paul McCartney because he is a living legend. Enough said.
March 20, 2009 at 12:27 p.m.

chemical brothers...amazing.
March 20, 2009 at 12:29 p.m.

My Bloody Valentine! Caught them back in the day and my ears are still ringing from their Santa Monica show last year! :)
March 20, 2009 at 12:51 p.m.

I'd LOVE to go see Franz, The Killers and Leonard Cohen all playing together! Add in Sir Paul and the YYY's.... LIFE CHANGING.
March 20, 2009 at 1:38 p.m.

MORRISSEY!
An epic man of all ages.
No question hands down.
I will bath in his sweat.
March 20, 2009 at 1:47 p.m.

What's the entry deadline?
March 20, 2009 at 2:21 p.m.

friday is STACKED! leonard cohen, conor oberst, the presets, ghostland observatory, crystal castles, we are scientists, morrissey, and of course mccartney- i would DIE to be there on friday!!!! <3
March 20, 2009 at 2:26 p.m.

I really really want to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And TV on the Radio. And The Cure. And Theivery. OH! And PB&J!
March 20, 2009 at 6:41 p.m.

It is tough to choose:

First, the Cure... When I turned 16 - during the Fascination Street tour, my brother bought tickets for us to go see them play in Worcester. It was my first drive without parents and the first real taste of freedom. We were on the floor in a huge stadium and I am still haunted by the green strobe that clang to the bass in Forest. There music comes to me in dreams and I would want to see how they fill the mystical desert with their sound.

Leonard Cohen, who I have not seen ever live, but whose voice rattles in me after of years of long somber nights searching for the miracle to come. Hallejuel....

My Bloody Valentine who could be the tipping point to my final flirt with deafness and by sensational audio overload. How I want it to happen!

And the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, and TV on the Radio because we all grew into our careers together and for the fact they have been neighbors in my past. Support your local band!

Man, I could go on and on about each band playing...
March 21, 2009 at 10:01 a.m.

There are many great artists playing this year at Coachella...but I think Paul McCartney stands out clearly as the #1 favorite artist that I would LOVE to see play. Love the new Fireman album, Electrical arguments. Hope he plays something off that.
March 21, 2009 at 2:52 p.m.

YEAH YEAH YEAHS!
March 21, 2009 at 2:53 p.m.

My Bloody Valentine and Throbbing Gristle!
March 21, 2009 at 5:16 p.m.

M.I.A., TV on the Radio and some of the best musical talent around.
March 22, 2009 at 9:24 a.m.

Would actually get on a plane to see...
Crystal Castles, N.A.S.A., Silversun Pickups, Crookers, M.I.A., TV on the Radio, The Bloody Beetroots, The Killers, Busy P, Lykke Li, Lupe Fiasco, & of course the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

March 22, 2009 at 12:51 p.m.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and My Bloody Valentine without a doubt!
March 22, 2009 at 1:28 p.m.

Thievery Corporation and The Cure! Hopefully MIA won't be as crowded as last year- that was just ridiculous! Ghostland Observatory always has a great set.
March 22, 2009 at 2:35 p.m.

March 22, 2009 at 9:38 p.m.

I would love to see Lupe Fiasco. He is my favorite rapper/artist ever and I have yet to see him. It would be my dream come true to see him, and this would be my only chance to on this tour. I'm so surprised that more people aren't saying that they would want to see him, he's amazing!!
March 24, 2009 at 1:23 a.m.

So if i win this contest, i thank god and lupe and coachella for this chance they've given me
March 24, 2009 at 8:28 p.m.

Is it even possible to pick one particular artist to see at Coachella? Each one brings something different and new to the table. The lineup this year is unique in its own right. So, as hard as it may be, I will give my top 10, in no particular order.

1. Morrissey
2. Silversun Pickups
3. The Presets
4. We Are Scientists
5. Cloud Cult
6. Band of Horses
7. TV on the Radio
8. Vivian Girls
9. The Kills
10. Yeah Yeah Yeahs

March 28, 2009 at 9:54 p.m.

I am really looking forward to seeing a legend such as Leonard Cohen play to all the young whipper snappers. I am equally excited about Ariel Pink and Haunted Graffiti blowing people's thinking caps. And I feel everyone should be thankful that My bloody Valentine is going to grace us with their rare beauty.

Hi Prefix,

I would LOVE to see Devendra Banhart the mostest most most if I had to pick out of the amazing line-up because with your help I could become a little seahorse. And for this I'd book flights form London town.

My Bloody Valentine
March 31, 2009 at 2:53 p.m.

So many! Paul McCartney. My Bloody Valentine. Probably won't have another chance to see Leonard Cohen!
March 31, 2009 at 5:28 p.m.

We once opened for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Indian Summer Festival in Scotland. We were bright eyed newbies wandering aimlessly in the Artist Tent area. I had a black T-shirt with a screenprint of Bjork sticking her tongue out. It caught Karen O's attention, for she pointed at it and smiled as she rushed to the stage. All that blushing took a year or two off my life, but regardless, it MADE my month.

Earier, I told the audience that I had a crush on her, but not to tell, because it was a secret. I wonder if anybody spilled the beans??? Anyhoo, I'd truly love to go to Coachella.

ps If Paul McCartney plays "I've just seen a face", I promise to tear up and violently shake an adajecent person's shoulder, as I scream "Woo Hoo!!!"

i can't believe that I'm about to post this...but when I was 12 I used to cry myself to sleep thinking "Paul McCartney is the love of my life....but he's just too old for me!!!" Little did I know that he would start dating women so much younger than himself and that he'd be playing at coooaaachelllllaaaaa 2009 :)... so yeah, I'd say I'm excited to see him and THE CHEMICAL BROS!!
March 31, 2009 at 7:46 p.m.

CONOR OBERST AND THE MYSTIC VALLEY BAND!! honestly who wouldnt love to see these guys.
April 1, 2009 at 12:06 a.m.

I'm really looking forward to seeing The Horrors. They were so hyped up in '06 and seemed like they would be a passing fad, but I've heard some of their new album, which they produced with Chris Cunningham, and it's so goddamn good.

I've only seen them in the tiny, dark Annex space in NYC and would love to see how they hold up in a big fest.
April 1, 2009 at 12:08 a.m.

Also, M.A.N.D.Y. and Supermayer are both playing on Sunday and those are going to sound incredible in a big outdoor space!
April 1, 2009 at 12:10 a.m.

Lastly...The Cure. I don't care how old I am or they are, that sh*t is never going to die <3
April 1, 2009 at 5:47 p.m.

i would really love to be able to see the cure and morissey within the same weekend, that would have to be the most amazing experience ever.
April 2, 2009 at 5:55 a.m.

Really excited to see band of horses, hoping they are playing while the sun is setting behind them.
April 2, 2009 at 5:37 p.m.

I have been in love with Paul McCartney since I was 10.... I was too young to go see the Beatles when they were in San Diego like 45 years ago. This could be my last chance.
April 3, 2009 at 1:29 p.m.

I Really wanna see peter bjorn & john, Yeah yeah yeah's, James morrison, and paul McCartney!!

April 4, 2009 at 2:16 p.m.

Coachella begins on my birthday this year! If I were lucky enough to go, I'd be excited to see The Black Keys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Noah and the Whale, Friendly Fires and of course, Paul McCartney. Yeah, I would definitely pee my pants on that last one.
April 4, 2009 at 3:47 p.m.

There are so many bands this year that I would love to see. It would be absolutely amazing to see The Black Keys, Turbonegro, TV on the Radio, and of course M.I.A. I have never been to Coachella, but have heard its the best festival around. Crossing my fingers and toes to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 4, 2009 at 4:03 p.m.

I am all about Okkervil River, N.A.S.A., Ghostland Observatory, Lykke Li - a nice combo of artists I know are awesome live and those I have recently been listening to but haven't seen live yet
April 4, 2009 at 4:45 p.m.

April 5, 2009 at 6:51 p.m.

Seeing the Killers perform would be awesome.
April 5, 2009 at 6:52 p.m.

I would die to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre. After watching the movie DIG, I feel that they are one of the most original and inspirational bands of all time.
April 5, 2009 at 8:48 p.m.

I am very excited to see FLEET FOXES!!!!
April 5, 2009 at 11:44 p.m.

April 7, 2009 at 6:52 a.m.

MUST MUST MUST see the original creators of INDUSTRIAL music (not NIN/Ministry pop bastardization) THROBBING GRISTLE. As weird as Genesis P-Orridge has become (!), this I must witness. Unknown when I could ever have another chance to see their reunion live. Just Saturday is cool for me, to also see The Orb, Brian Jonestown Massacre, & Public Enemy. Of course, it would be cool to see Leonard Cohen & a BEATLE, for chrissake.
April 7, 2009 at 12:33 p.m.

I must see the kills! Not the killers.
April 7, 2009 at 3:39 p.m.

I would love to see Leonard Cohen. His lyrics and music have really changed my life.
April 7, 2009 at 4:04 p.m.

April 8, 2009 at 1:59 p.m.

Franz Ferdinand!!
April 8, 2009 at 6:16 p.m.

Atmosphere, Girl Talk-- get my dance on :)
April 8, 2009 at 6:20 p.m.

The Black Keys - the two men can make alot of noise with just a guitar and a drum set, not to mention they put on a hell of a show

Silversun Pickups - their new album is amazing and I can not wait to hear them rock out to some new material.
April 8, 2009 at 6:37 p.m.

THE BLACK KEYS
Those two men can make a hell of alot of noise and put on one hell of a show!

Ah, musical utopia is in a matter of days & the bands/musicians that I'm itching to see are Paul McCartney, Leonard Cohen, My Bloody Valentine, Morrissey, Beirut, The Cure, Yeah Yeah Yeahs...Girl Talk, Jenny Lewis..need I say more? : )
April 14, 2009 at 4:27 a.m.

That is a hard decision but I would have to say that the Leonard Cohen performance would be an event that cannot be missed.
April 14, 2009 at 6:25 p.m.

For me it's a tie between My Bloody Valentine or Girl Talk, I have a feeling Girl Talk may put on a better show but then again MBV have been known to jam too.. whata great event!
April 15, 2009 at 12:47 a.m.

Thanks to everyone that submitted entries, but winners have been selected.
April 15, 2009 at 10:04 p.m.

I think that the winners should email me so I can find them and photograph them looking appropriately jubilant during the band of their choice.
April 16, 2009 at 6:54 p.m.
