This may surprise you, but you are not the only one to fuck up the "you only get one shot at this" wristband over the course of this week. =P

Goldenvoice predicted this would happen, and came up...

It's good to be back, Coachella.

This would be amazing! They actually played once or twice before--gave a great performance on the Coachella DVD! I've never seen them, though, which is a bummer.

They really are the perfect band...

Death From Above 1979

Maybe as a reunion, it doesn't count, but seriously...who saw this coming? We've all been waiting for it for years--but who really expected it?

QFT

Girls in the Sahara tent were acting like I was some kind of rapist if I so much as leaned on them after being shoved aside. At one point, I actually did try to start to dance with a girl (who...

Is there even any question about this?

The Velvet Underground (though they have already reunited several times and Sterling is dead)
Neutral Milk Hotel
Death From Above 1979
Crosby Stills Nash AND YOUNG

...and Phish, but Bonnaroo...

I'll see you there! My first time; after three years of Coachella and one at Burning Man, I figure it's about time I go.

Was he wearing a shirt that said "Had Enough? Vote Obama/Biden Nov 4th"?

That may have been me.

I guess this is what happen if someone makes a crime.

There were like a thousand people taking pictures that night.

LET'S SEE 'EM.

You guys really made my night.

1. Well, I can tell you it's about 50,000 people per day (but that obviously doesn't translate to 150,000 in total).
2. I cannot possibly imagine that Coachella is a non-profit event. Even...

The event presented some interesting ethical questions, in my opinion. I was a part of it, and I couldn't be happier about that, but it did get out of hand eventually. As the night went on, it went...

I was there at that exact time too, thinking the same thing! According to the Coachella booklet, the name of the group is BLVD.

KANGA-MOTHERFUCKIN'-ROOOOOOO!!!
"WOO!!"

Rushing the dome --> epic debacle.

If anyone going to one of the days OTHER than Friday still has space for the way back, I would love a ride. I have a ride up for Friday, but that's the only day she's going.

I'm trying to go all three days, but would be willing to skip one of the days if necessary (probably Sunday, though I'm excited for some of those acts too). I'm also wondering if I could figure out...

Does anyone still have space in their car? I'm still looking for a ride (out of IV).

I have a 3-day pass and am looking for a ride too. No camping pass yet, but I camped last year and would definitely be down to do it again (especially if anyone has a tent to lend me, since I broke...

I live in (well, right next to) IV, and I might be down to carpool, but I can't drive.

There's no train station in Indio. That was special for last year, and it's been confirmed there is no...

I missed them when they played a small little club in my hometown, so now I get to see them on a huge stage at Coachella. Haha.

Clearly, I am not NEARLY as indie as any of you. If only I was more hip...


(haha, but props seriously if you've got wide enough taste and a large enough knowledge of modern music to be that...

I can't believe I missed Rilo Kiley, MGMT, and Fatboy Slim.

Rilo Kiley I skipped for Kraftwerk...then got reeeeeeally into them the week after.

MGMT I hadn't even heard of (and didn't see even...

My mom dated one of the band members when she was in college; I think it was Roky.

Hahaha. I hope they play.

I saw them play a garage in Isla Vista earlier this year.

It was The. Fucking. Shit.

Goldenvoice. Please.

Sasha & Digweed was okay...Above & Beyond was really a much better set, in my opinion, last year.

MONOTONIX WOULD BE THE SHIT.
They played a little intimate show where I live...oh my God, off the fucking hook. They moved the band around the room while they were playing--drumset and all. At one...

I went to EDC this year, for my first rave. Though it was pretty sick myself, especially compared with Together As One.

I am pretty sure it *is* going to be in the Coliseum again this year; at...

Oh yes, oh yes--I laughed outloud when I saw this topic.

It involved driving into the campground area. I think there were trees all around, and the ground was definitely uneven--there was even a...

Well it's not sketchy if that's what you mean. As far as I can tell there are always security personnel there, but I was only there in the afternoon (both early and late) and late at night after the...

I also live in Santa Barbara and am looking for a ride. Going all three days, camping.

How about Sublime, complete with Bradley Nowell back from the dead?

Tell me you wouldn't die.

One of my closest friends had clinical depression for over a year, maybe two, and she said that attending Coachella 2006 was a major turning point for her. She claims it changed her life.

Few...

I got in with a Nikon SLR the first day, and got to the festival around 3 or 4 PM. But the guy who checked me didn't even pat me down or anything, so...I think most guards would care more.

I...

I stayed at the Best Western in Palm Springs last year, on Saturday night...let me tell you, Palm Springs is a lot further away after a day and a night of Coachella.

After waiting for my ride,...

I don't really see how they are cornier than any other EDM artist...I mean anything can be interpreted as corny if you listen to it in right way, even Radiohead.
Actually that was what kind of ended...

HELL to the YES.




...and unfortunately, I must agree that this is also a concern of mine.

How about the other three members of Pink Floyd?

But seriously, ahh...Led Zeppelin is probably a no because of Bonnaroo...

My Bloody Valentine obviously...
The Shins have a new and improved...

Arcade Fire
Rage Against the Machine
...

Not sure about this last one. Maybe the Rapture...

Pendulum will either be totally sick or totally boring...cause that's generally how Drum & Bass is. Either deep, intense melodies, or just the same beat for hours with some idiot on a microphone.

Waters is a little bit of a worn-out headliner since he's been touring for about a year or two now and already made an appearance at Live Earth. And he has that "I'm too good for Pink Floyd" aura...

Portishead sounds way too mellow to close out the Sahara Tent.

That's like a double-whammy of situations unfriendly to mellow performers: last show and dance tent.

Kraftwerk is also not very...

Hey, look at last year. I'm sure everyone expected Tiësto to close out the dance tent...NUH-UH. RCHP played the main stage after Arcade Fire and Tiësto followed to close the evening's festivities....

There's more to life than headliners.


But I would have to agree that Kraftwerk and Roger Waters are really the only "holy crap, how did they..." artists playing this year.

The Shins might be the biggest indie rock band around these days. They made three great albums, and everyone and their mom listens to them.

Anyone else think it's high time they played Coachella?...

As unbelievably amazing as that would be, they are already headlining Bonnaroo.

It's like the first guy said, it's an acquired taste. You have to think of their music as emotionally-charged, not as catchy or jumpy--which is what it sounds like it's supposed to be when you first...
