Does It Offend You, Yeah? Breaks Up, Cancels US Tour.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? has canceled their 2009 US Tour. The band was on the lineup for Live105's BFD until today. According to Aaron Axelson [Live 105 music director], Morgan Quaintance, who plays live guitar and sings back-up vocals for Does It Offend You, Yeah? has quit the band. The remainder of their 2009 US Tour has been canceled, including BFD which is slated for June. I am saddened by this.

Treasure Island Music Festival 2009 Dates Announced

Noise Pop Industries and Another Planet Entertainment announced yesterday that the Treasure Island Music Festival will take place on October 17 & 18, 2009. This is a full month later than previous years. l speculate that the move was done because:
a: Vegoose, which took place over Halloween in Las Vegas, is no longer a competitive threat.
b: it creates a more manageable time gap between Another Planet's other big Festival, SF Outside Lands, which happens late in August this year
c: and it may actually be warmer in mid-October.

Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode, and original members of Jane's Addiction to Headline Lollapalooza 2009

Though the line-up of artists is not officially posted on the Lollapalooza 2009 site,
The Chicago Tribune reported:

Depeche Mode, the Beastie Boys and a reunited Jane’s Addiction are expected to headline the fifth annual Lollapalooza Aug. 7-9 in Grant Park.

Though promoters would not confirm the information Friday, multiple sources inside the industry said the three headliners are a lock for the festival. Three more arena-level headliners are expected to be included when the complete lineup is announced next month.

The original Jane’s lineup of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery headlined the first Lollapalooza tour in 1991, only to break up soon after. There have been sporadic reunions since, but none included all four original members until some one-off gigs last year. A national tour was announced a few days ago, but a Chicago date was conspicuously absent.

Here's the full 2009 Concert Festival Calendar.

M.I.A. to Replace Amy Winehouse at Coachella

From Billboard.com

"Sri Lankan pop sensation M.I.A. has been added to the Coachella festival's Saturday night lineup, the event's producers announced today via their Twitter feed.  M.I.A. replaces Amy Winehouse, who was forced to cancel her appearance earlier this month due to an assault charge in the U.K.

Coachella will mark the rapper/singer's first public appearance since the birth of her son last month and her performance of "Paper Planes" with Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne at the Grammy Awards in February.


M.I.A. joins other late additions to the Coachella bill including Devendra Banhart, the Orb, Chemical Bros., Murder City Devils and Etienne deCrecy."

Gogol Bordello rumored to play Outside Lands

An organizer for San Francisco Oyster Fest shared with me his plans for this year's festival which is being shortened to one day this year. He revealed to me that he was hoping to get Gogol Bordello as the headliner, but was having difficulty signing the band because they claim to be holding out for the Outside Lands festival. Since the Oyster Fest happens in May, could Another Planet be moving the festival from August to May? In any case, it looks like Gogol Bordello is most likely returning to San Francisco this year.

Treasure Island Music Festival Lineup..

The Treasure Island Music Festival was an absolute blast last year. The island makes for an awesome venue with breathtaking views and the comfortable grounds. I didn't know if the good folks from Noise Pop and Another Planet Entertainment would be able to top last year's roundup of artists, but they did. Here's some info about the upcoming festival:

"After an immensely successful inaugural year, Noise Pop and Another Planet Entertainment are thrilled to announce another stellar line-up for the Treasure Island Music Festival. The two-day festival will once again take place in one of the world’s most breathtaking settings: an island smack-dab in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. Picking up where it left off last year, Saturday, September 20th will feature cutting edge electronic and dance oriented acts with Justice closing.
