Anticipation rises as the Coachella 2008 line up is speculated to be released at any moment. Until then, I will be presenting you with the (rumored to be) confirmed bands every Friday. The internet is never a reputable source for anything so I could be wrong with these bands.
Last year, presale for the festival was available through Ducat King before the line up came out, but there has been nothing about it anywhere yet.

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIEWhile perusing the official Coachella message boards, and searching through means of Google, the band that people are claiming to be confirmed for Coachella 2008 is Death Cab for Cutie. Word has it that a concert booker tried to book them for a show during the dates of Coachella and they had to decline because of this reason. If in fact confirmed, they would be a great addition to the line up as they have never played the desert festival before and playing Coachella makes sense with their new album releasing May 2008. That reason alone makes them a perfect candidate to play, not to mention they have going on 10+ years strong as prominent indie rockers. The band has been under the radar since their last album was released, almost forgotten amidst the convoluted mainstream indie-pop around today. Drive Well, Sleep Carefully is a highly recommended DVD to watch if you want to be exposed to the band further.
If you're an overanxious major fan of the band, check out guitarist Chris Walla's solo material here. His solo album Field Manual drops January 29, 2008.

Yeah, that would definitely be awesome to see them at Coachella 2008. I wanted to let you know that they actually have played Coachella before (see Saturday of Coachella 2004 lineup) and even though that was the first Coachella I had ever attended, I didn't really know their material at the time so I didn't check them out. Man, if I only would have known. Same thing happened with Broken Social Scene too, damn...
Oh you're right! I stand to be corrected. Death Cab have definitely matured as a band since then. If you haven't yet, check out their official site for a preview of their new sound... I'm sosososo excited!
