Seconded.

They have to do that because it's in the city center, sound curfew is 10. Sucks, I know. If the band goes over they will get hefty fines.

Regarding Greg Kot's video reviews, he's not exactly...

:pulse

Of course there are talkers/dumb fucks at every festival. I never said these people don't exist at Coachella (I would love to punch 90% of soCal girls in the face to be honest), but at Coachella you...

YES that's my point here. There are SOOO many douchebags like beer bong guy at Lollapalooza. I remember at Daft Punk (and I was on rail, mind you, so it's not like I was far back) the crowd was so...

I'm a she, for the record. =)

Eh I guess I just like festivals that require a cool road trip or camping out. It feels more special to me I suppose. I can completely see why people that don't live...

I don't always go, and when I do it's for a day or two max. I haven't gone all 3 days since 07. As I said above, they do have awesome headliners from time to time. 07 was Daft Punk and Muse, 05 was...

Bad Location. Sure it's the city center with stunning views of the Chicago skyline, which I understand is really cool for out-of-towners and all, but sooo many casual music fans go to this thing due...

Not necessarily, there are still plenty of conflicts with the 3 day format.

Again, I'm not saying I don't love another day to see music and bum about in the desert in California, I just think...

Um, it's highly highly highly doubtful Thom Yorke plays.

That said, if he did play, I would spontaneously combust. Dying at Coachella would be fine with me.

:lool Well said, friend. Well said.

Although sadly we'll probably still always get either Jack Johnson or the Killers at every festival until the day we die. But it's ok, you have to get food or...

Worst. Festival. Ever. Don't bother. I only go because it's right near my apartment, but I'd certainly never travel for it. Very poorly run and organized.

Yeah as much as I have a great time with the 3 day format, I have to say it's a bit exhausting...especially when you're camping. In a way I miss the old 2-day days.

Um, are you kidding me? AF were sub-headliners in 07 right before RHCP and the crowd was so tightly packed in I couldn't breathe. 40% of them cleared out when AF left the stage. They sell out every...

It's about that time Frank! *blows dust off name*

Besides, I'm planning an epic Chicago - Coachella Route 66 road trip with a bunch of Brits this year. All of the planning has got me excited a...

Yeah they already said they weren't touring anymore....but anything is possible. Their gig in London was beyond words amazing, bus as a headliner in the States I don't know. They'd be a sub-headliner...

Woah. Chill out dude. I was just curious why bringing the girlfriend to a campsite was so out of the quesiton.

What a helpful post, Supre. :winkiss

What difference does it make if you bring your girlfriend? Do girls melt at the campsite? Are we combustible?

That's retarded. I'm sorry. I'm from Chicago too and this will be my 5th year going. First of all, why do you have to stay in a hotel? Camping is amazing and only 45 bucks. Where do you figure 700...

I think I'll go with a bathroom stop and a hotdog instead.

No you probably read it from me. After that weekend I think I posted anti-Rage stories all over the place to get the anger out.

I don't know, having (unfortunately) been to 2 festivals where Rage was a headliner and having seen Tool at their own show before, I find Rage fans to be a totally different animal. Sure, the white...

Best. Lineup. Ever. :pulse

"Dirt cyclone of moshing" hahahahaha. That reminded me of the Human Giant Moshpit sketch. :lool

Yeah Rage fans nearly ruined Coachella 07 for me. My favorite were the guys in Rage shirts (what is it about RATM fans having to wear the Rage shirt everywhere??) behind me during Bjork's set (Bjork...

What??? He just played in 07 and is a total joke. Seriously?? This lineup keeps getting worse and worse.

I would say fail here, but fail doesn't do it justice...

I agree...their headliners and smaller tier bands are better. It seems they stole Coachella's usual fare this year, they have Of Montreal, Andrew Bird, MGMT, Bon Iver, Animal Collective, Grizzly...

How do you feel about "incindiery" then? It's a rich man's "face melting"...

Can't WAIT! Saw them alone in whatever year Fever to Tell came out...03? 04? I also saw them at Lolla in 07 and can say they can def play well in a festival setting.

Please Please Please! In this sea of crap just throw us a bone here! :mad:

Keep cool my babies, I'm sure they are adding a lot more with Sahara flavor...

:lool

The years I went:

04: 10/10
05: 6/10
07: 8/10
09: 3/10 - pending any awesome additions

Yes, it could have, but the Ting Tings are so bad they deserve their own special topic for it. Here here! *does "Shut Up and Let Me Go" iPod dance*

Oh and I have read thoroughly, hence my confusion over your jumping down people's throats for posting within topic. Thanks for getting me up to speed unnecessarily though!

I'm sorry, was there already a negative Ting Tings thread posted? I don't think there was, so wouldn't this be the valid forum to express Ting Tings hatred?

Ha I'm sorry but I don't get why people go crazy over someone saying they don't like a band. I mean, they made it very clear in the first post that this wasn't exactly a pro Ting Tings thread. If you...

Agreed. If you happen to be near me and I dodge your violent advances, I will help you set the tesla coil on fire.

How many times has he played Coachella now, 4? Can't shake this emo bastard.

Yeah no kidding. When I saw Cloud Cult was on the lineup I nearly vomited in my mouth. If the rest of their music is half as awful as that ad I'm out on this one.

Oh man this tour is great too. I just saw them a few months ago for Dear Science and they were touring with a full horn section. I imagine they'd be bringing them to Coachella as well, really awesome.

HAHAHAHA.

I'm with you! I won't be booing them but I'll be protesting in my mind! Killers are awful, I still think it's just a ploy until someone better is added.

I'm sorry but please don't use Blur and Coldplay together in a sentence, even if it's a fragment. Thank you.

PLEASE jesus christ I was just hoping for Blur. I'd trade anyone on there just to get that ONE band. Instead we get The Killers and Amy Winehouse...

Yeah this is probably the worst lineup I've seen in years for anything. However, I know it will change and there will be awesome additions and I'm going either way because, as someone else said, you...

this is killing me! KILLING ME! *jumps out a window*

Ahahahahahahaha.

Wow. Such hostility on this board! People, we MUST stick together and get through this tough time with grace and dignity! We are not animals. Let's break bread and hang out and not stab each other in...
