A totally unofficial, yet highly probable, partial line-up for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2005 is running rampant on the Internet. Festival organizer Goldenvoice says "nothing has been confirmed" but that's not going to keep fans from getting excited about who might be coming to Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif., this spring. There are plenty of hot acts on the list and a number of surprises, including David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, and Coldplay. And it wouldn't be Coachella without a bevy of buzz bands. The 2005 edition that's being circulated includes recent Shortlist Prize winner TV On The Radio, as well as Dogs Die In Hot Cars, Death From Above 1979, and Iron and Wine. Goldenvoice isn't saying when the official roster will be announced, but here's the not-so-secret preview to wet your appetite:
*David Bowie has already denounced any claims he will headline Coachella on his website. We'll see how accurate this list is in the months to come. Rilo Kiley did say they will do Coachella in 2005, but so far they are the only confirmed act.
