Sorta…

Apparently the organizers of Coachella were trying to negotiate a date for the rock legends to perform at the 2010 Coachella Festival. Having appeared at the 2010 Super Bowl, all bets were headed toward The Who headlining at least one music festival this summer.

Coachella head honchos attempted to get Bowie to play last year and the year before- he refused and they got Prince and Paul McCartney instead. With recruits like that, The Who is sure to take the bait this year right? Unfortunately no, Pete Townshend released a statement in which he felt the need to continue writing new material.

So much for that, at least the 2010 Coachella lineup is one of the best music festival lineups this year!
