Coachella 2011 is just a few days away, and while the lineup is spectacular (PJ Harvey, The National, The Black Keys, Interpol, Duran Duran, Mumford & Sons, Interpol), let’s face it – not everybody can jet to Indio, California, to enjoy the action.
Thankfully, Coachella will be streaming the three-day show via the web. You can see all the action via the fest’s YouTube channel.
Check out Gibson.com’s 5 must-see artists at Coachella.
Who are your must-sees? Let us know in the comments, below!
1) The Black Keys: Is it really just two guys making all that ruckus? Sure is, and with it comes bluesy, raw-and-ragged rock, with plenty of groove and blues-rock swagger.
2) Kings of Leon: The guys hit it huge with their fourth release, 2008’s Only By the Night, and from there, they brought big, bad, rock to the masses, and have enough classic rock in their DNA to garner fans of all ages.
3) Arcade Fire: The newly crowned Grammy-winner for “Album of the Year” delivers larger-than-life live shows, always theatrical, packed with indie-jangle grit and sharp, smart alternative rock.
4) Jimmy Eat World: There’s no denying the guys of Jimmy Eat World are one of the few alternative rock acts that get better with age. Starting out with songs about teenage-dom and school-day crushes, the band has truly matured and now puts out well-crafted, catchy rock that’s poppy and powerful.
5) Mumford & Sons: This London-based band makes rootsy music, with a healthy diet of country, rock, bluegrass and blues. Somehow, it all comes together in an edgy enough package to top the alternative rock charts.
