The internet is buzzing about the Coachella 2012 Lineup which may have been leaked today. I’m highly skeptical that this is the ultimate lineup, but if it’s true than it is pretty incredible.
Remember Coachella announced last year that they were moving the festival to two weekends in a row instead of just one. What that experience will be like is yet to be seen, but with a dominant lineup like this it could be incredible.

Rapid Thoughts: The lineup is extremely heavy on edm with a lot of great artists including DAFT PUNK, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Armin Van Buuren and more. One of the main reasons why I’m skeptical is that The Foo Fighters are headlining over top of a live Daft Punk tour. In the real world, that’s not possible.
