The Coachella message board is doing a good job of tracking the upcoming Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio. Now's the time that bands begin leaking confirmations, revealing their hands on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook, and basically spilling the beans one way or another. For example, this from Phoenix.

That said, this is not an officially confirmed list. This is a pre-list of sorts, one that looks very very reliable based on the message boards.

Muse

Phoenix

The xx

Devo

Pretty Lights

Zoe

Miike Snow

A Place to Bury Strangers

Big Pink

Craze and Klever

Hockey

Busy P

Corinne Bailey Rae

Bassnectar

Mayer Hawthorne
