If you thought that the Beatles would never see a youthful event after the ?70s, think again. Recently announced as this year?s Coachella Music Festival event headliner is none other than the Beatles man himself, Paul McCartney. The group?s organizers, no doubt led by some of the Beatles biggest fans, is usually recognized for their abnormally typical indie and edgy lineup, as previous announcements have revealed that The Killers, The Cure and more will also take places on the main stages during its three day event. But none could have guessed that McCartney, the man who as of recently has been surrounded more by the paparazzi and British presses due more to his romantic life rather than his musical one, to become the 2009 headliner. ?I have heard that Coachella is one of the greatest festivals in the world,? the 66 year old said in a statement. ?I?m really excited to get out there and rock!? Though there are already skeptics, Coachella tickets are still going to be doing well on http://stubhub.com/coachella-music-festival-tickets !

One of the biggest and perhaps most influential critics to appear in regards to this old school rock act?s presence on Coachella?s notably recognized cutting age stage is The Los Angeles Times. The articles regarding the musical celebration viewed the musician?s appointment as perhaps the over 140,000 fans that participate each year will rethink their seat choice due to the mature poppers presence. ?What remains to be seen is whether the choice will cost the festival credibility with its core clientele ? young fans who are more likely to listen to the White Stripes than the ?White Album? and who are far more familiar with Rage Against the Machine than ?Band on the Run.? McCartney will undoubtedly not ruin the event, as he is just one of 120 acts to grace the stages of this legendary festival. Most confident remains the event?s organizer, Paul Tollett, who said to the Times, ?This is a Beatle. That?s huge.? And so the company and the fans of years past Coachella will just have to ?let it be.?

This won?t be the first time that such a prominent none-Coachella act graces the stage at the annual Indio Valley event; Madonna, Willie Nelson, Pink Floyd alum Roger Waters and Prince are all Coachella veterans who have easily passed the indie fan collection. ?If they can pull off Madonna at Coachella, they can do anything,? Pollstar?s editor in chief Gary Bongiovanni said. ?Coachella is the king. I can see McCartney wanting to play Coachella because it gives him the chance to reach a different audience.? It?s no doubt that the legacy of the Beatles brings enough familiarity with even the youngest of Coachella patrons to catch a few hoots while on stage. His repertoire on the 17th will probably focus more on his funky and fresh material (think ?Helter Skelter? and ?Live and Let Die?) rather than the adult contemporary pop that got him famous. Still, this act isn?t going to disappoint, whatever crowd may be on the forefront.
