Coldplay, Bowie And R.E.M. Festival Date?

A new document leaked to Undercover music news has a full rundown for the 2005 event, essentially an American interpretation of Glastonbury and the biggest music festival and largest open air live event in the US music calendar. 

Although unofficially confirmed (or indeed denied) by organisers the reported line-up will feature headline performances from David Bowie and R.E.M. while elsewhere the bill will also be Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, The Streets, PJ Harvey, The Polyphonic Spree and Franz Ferdinand.

Surprise additions to the list include newly reformed ’80 pop legends Tears for Fears (who’s career has no doubt been bolstered by Gary Jules' huge successful cover of their track ‘Mad World’) and, if the list is to be believed, Coldplay will also be playing on the eve of the release of their new album.

Coachella will be taking place at the Empire Polo Field in Indio California on April 30 and May 1.

In 2004, the headline acts were Radiohead and The Cure, with Pixies, The Flaming Lips, Air, Kraftwerk, The Thrills, Ash and The Rapture all included on the bill.
