Radiohead, despite not getting lots of radio play anymore, has a huge following. Publications like Pitchfork and The A.V. Club eat everything they make up. They certainly do have headlining power, particularly for day #1, when many people have yet to arrive.

I do agree overall, this lineup is pretty weak. A lot of bands who had moderate popularity about 5 years ago.

I think Coachella really needs to focus on having 3 huge acts each night that will play at the end of the day. Then fill the day with moderate acts that people can drift to depending on their preferences.
