Prince to be added to Coachella bill... L.A. Times Music Blog
Prince to be added to Coachella bill? Or not… March 18, 2008 4:01pm No word on which day he will crash the party, but Prince will be added to the lineup for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which runs April 25-27 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, sources tell me. No confirmation from the artist’s websites, which seem to be down (or under construction) at the moment.* But this certainly adds some meat to the the festival’s slightly protein-starved roster. Goldfrapp and Aphex Twin were recently announced as additions to the lineup, as well as Serj Tankian, Redd Kross, Kate Nash and Adele. Only 37 days until the desert. – Kevin Bronson Photo: L.A. Times files *UPDATE: Coachella co-producers AEG Live have responded to this post. Brandon K. Phillips, CEO of AEG Live, writes in an email: “Paul Tollett, the head of our Goldenvoice division and our partner in the festival, just called to tell me that the LA Times put on their blog that Prince was playing Coachella. This is absolutely not true… Regardless of what the Times was told, there is no commitment from Prince to play Coachella.” Stay tuned….
