Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
So just because these people were on the cruise they are suddenly in the know?
FYI, there's some off-main board chatter over on Coachella's forums confirming this. A long standing member there (aka no reason to bullsh*t) is putting forth the claim. Seems legit.
Coach's boards, unlike Inforoo, have some semi-private areas where people can discuss things without the idiot masses butting in. Something we should implement.
So Monklish is now claiming both The Knife and The Postal Service will be making an appearance. Her headliners (Daft, NIN, Phoenix) are likely bullshit, but she often gets the undercard right. Think there's some truth behind this Postal Service pick.
What makes you think The Postal Service has truth?
It just fits one of those random one off/reunion shows Coach is known for. They have been sought after for the past few years and this booking would keep the repeat "requests" at bay. Ben Gibbard had a few Fall dates to support his solo effort but his schedule looks wide open for 2013. Why not take a big payday while the time is there?
Also, Monk really hasn't been updating much so even if her headliners are wrong, a rumor like this will keep her blog afloat for another year. Basically, she wouldn't have listed them so late in the game if there wasn't some truth to it.
Thats weird she doesnt list The Rolling Stones, when thats pretty much the strongest rumor for headliners so far.
Well her headliners were picked months ago so maybe she doesn't want to back out on them or maybe the entire Rolling Stones debacle is and always has been rubbish (which could totally be the case). I doubt even Chella could pull Daft AND the Stones in the same year so who really knows at this point. Chances are neither of them will be there. Hope I'm wrong though.
Monklish has no inside info. None. Her predictions mean nothing.
Aside from those acts that are not actually predictions, but information taken directly from the Coachella board's Lineup Confirmation/Rumors confirmed and rumored list.
The only headliner she got right by this time last year was Radiohead, and that wasn't even a prediction. I think nearly everyone knew they were playing Coachella and Roo before the end of the year.

I would generally agree with you here. Because yeah she definitely lifts the majority of her picks from the rumor mill and the Coach boards. But there were still moments like 2011 for example when she picked Kanye and KOL before anyone else.
Typically I think she is full of shiz, but after only making one update since October, tossing in an act like the Postal Service is essentially making blog suicide. Right?
Maybe I'm trying to make it work because I've wanted them for so long. Don't give up on me just yet Juggs.
Edit: For the record I'm not a monk believer and I normally wouldn't post any of her "leaks".

Jesus, I'd pay $250 a ticket for those 5 alone. Something stinks.
I don't see NIN or Daft Punk happening this year at all. Maybe Phoenix. But who hasn't suggested those 3 already?
The Knife and The Postal Service are rumored/requested every year. With a new Knife album in the works and a wide open Ben Gibbard schedule, this could POSSIBLY be the year Goldenvoice makes this happen. Especially if they disappoint with a headlining act like The Killers or Muse.
