Coachella 2011 is SOLD OUT!!!!

The inevitable occurred faster than anyone imagined.  Coachella 2011 is sold out just 7 days after the official lineup was announced.  It's a record for the Southland music festival.

Coachella 2011 OFFICIAL lineup announced Arcade Fire, Kings of Leon, Kanye West

Well, the rumor poster had some truths on there, but now we get the for real list.

Just a few notes from my personal wishlist as LA Rock Examiner... CeeLo Green is officially there. Neon Trees is back for a second Coachella. Barsuk Records represents with Menomena (without Brent Knopf), and Phantogram both playing Sunday.

We're gonna DANCE in the desert with Animal Collective, Big Audio Dynamite, and Cults.

And dreams really do come true. Mariachi El Bronx will be there on Saturday. Sadly, sometimes dreams don't come true--Duran Duran is confirmed for Sunday. I hope they're up against The National because that's who I'll go see--brought to us by Goldenvoice.

Mumford & Sons got people flocking to the Jimmy Kimmel stage in droves and no doubt people will also flock to the desert to see them.

Coachella 2011 lineup rumors: Kanye West, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk to headline?

If you want to wax rhapsodic over the possibilities, please check out www.CoachellaLeaks.com. The most recent lineup poster looks like it might be legit as it features some rather oddball groups.

Personally, if I were imagining Coachella 2011, I would definitely want Cee Lo Green, Menomena and Mariachi El Bronx there. OMD is also rumored. Those are indicator bands of possibily a legit leak. Beastie Boys look like they might add to the fun. Duran Duran high on the list for Saturday? What is the world coming to?

Several solid "minor" bands are scheduled to appear according this leak as well. Klaxons and the Local Natives are on. But some seem to have too small of a following still to make a Coachella debut, Cults is one of those bands.

Well, Coachellites, we shall see. The truth will be revealed any day now.
