Coachella 2008 Lineup Released

Portishead, the Breeders, Roger Waters, Death Cab for Cutie, Rilo Kiley, and M.I.A. are just a few of the names appearing at the 2008 Coachella festival in Indio, California. You can find it at the Coachella site and at sites such as Stereogum.

Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd, will be recreating the band's "Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety.

The Coachella 2008 festival takes place April 25th -27th.

Much of the reaction in the blogosphere seems to be that this is a weak lineup, but hell, I see plenty of acts I'd like to catch.

Burning Man tickets are priced at several different levels, on the honor system: purchasers are asked to buy the highest-priced tickets they are able to afford. This article on Cnet explains the ticket prices and has a link to the site for Burning Man tickets.
