Now I hope you have some major cash stored away for this one, because tickets are going for a whopping $1,000!

This is something that we don’t like to see. Two Coachella acts have been removed from the line up and poster. The first to go was La Roux who posted this message on her website:
“I’m gutted that we cannot play at my favourite festival. The show we played there in 2010 was one of the best I’ve ever done. Things are progressing well with the new record but I just don’t have the time to finish it AND prepare a new set for Coachella. If they’ll have us back we’d love to see you there.”
The next that we saw removed from the line up poster was one that we’re really sad to see go, and that’s Cat Power. While so far no statement has been made from the band, they no longer show on Coachella’s “line up” section or on the poster. You can see the new poster reflecting the changes in the line up below. We’re hoping that there will also be some good additions to the line up in the near future or that either of these acts decide to return to the fest.
We recently mentioned that Sinead O’Connor will be performing to Los Angeles shows next month. Those shows were supposed to take place at the Masonic Hall inside of Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Monday, February 20th and then a second show on Tuesday, February 21st. They have both been moved to the El Rey Theatre and will be on the same dates.
Tickets for the original shows at Hollywood Forever will be refunded at point of purchase. Tickets for the El Rey will start to go on sale Wednesday, February 1st through Ticketmaster for $30.00 plus any additional service fees. Spread the word if you or someone you know were expecting to see Sinead O’Connor next month.
