The thing about many of the older bands at Coachella is that they haven't played together much lately. So it represents a unique opportunity to see old bands/lineups reformed.
On top of that, they have a bunch of current bands, that are coming out with great albums now: Tame Impala, Vampire Weekend, Puscifer, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (will have new album out by then), Passion Pit, the XX, Metric, Divine Fits, etc...
One thing to remember about Coachella, is that the audience is slightly older than festivals like Sasquatch. There are lots of early 20s there, but also lots of people in their late 20s and 30s. The opportunity to see acts like the Stone Roses, Blur, Wu-Tang, etc.. is pretty huge.
Last year Pulp and the Dr. Dre mashup were both incredible.
Obviously everyone has their own preference for music, but I'd much rather see the Coachella acts. Some of the acts are older, but older in the sense they are some of the most talented acts of the past 10-20-30 years. As oppossed to an act like KoL, who just plain burnt out a few years ago.
