Coachella 2011 Lineup Announced

And The Scenestar had it first...from what I saw on Twitter anyways.  Announced it even before Coachella's Twitter did.  Awesome!

Ugh, Kings of Leon is still a headliner.  I heard about this a few months ago, but I kept praying that they would try to cancel before the poster was made.  Bleh.  Anyways, the other bands look pretty good.  Too bad Daft Punk isn't on there, but I still excite.  Let the listmaking begin!  Here are my preliminary choices (after I make my top choices, I usually try to listen to the other bands - tedious, I know - to discover some new music):

Top Picks:

• !!! 
• Arcade Fire 
• Cee Lo Green - been listening to a lot of his Lady Killer album lately
  
• Bright Eyes 
• Cold War Kids
• Cut Copy
• Empire of the Sun - they put on a fantastic show
• Jimmy Eat World
• Kanye West
• Ratatat
• The Black Keys
• The Morning Benders
• The National
• The New Pornographers
• The Presets - hell yes!
• The Strokes
• Two Door Cinema Club
• Yelle

Maybes:

• Best Coast  - guess I should find out why people like them so much
• Brandon Flowers - this is a maybe.  I saw one of his videos, still not convinced that he's any good
• Broken Social Scene
• Crystal Castles 
• CSS 
• Elbow  - Grounds for Divorce is pretty much their only good song, but I haven't seen them in awhile
• Erykah Badu
• Flogging Molly
• Interpol - I know all their music sounds the same, but I should probably listen to their new stuff
• Jack’s Mannequin - for old time's sake  
• Klaxons
• Ms. Lauryn Hill
• Ozomatli 
• Paul van Dyk 
• PJ Harvey 
• Robyn 
• Scissor Sisters 
• She Wants Revenge 
• The Aquabats 
• The Chemical Brothers
• The Kills 
• The Pains of Being Pure at Heart 
• The Swell Season - probably during some down time.  They are really mellow

Thanks for the alphabetized lineup and larger image, Stereogum!
