I have to agree with some of the points. The festival was excellent, but I thought the organisation was a bit haphazard. For example - the will call line - 4 hour wait to pick up tickets is...

Faithless played the same set they've been playing for the last 10 years.

still good fun though.

Anthony Kiedis's moustache was the highlight of the weekend.

it says 'No Instruments'.

do you know if this includes instruments of torture? I would like to bring some electric nipple clamps.

cool

I would recommend that people see her. She's far from a one-hit wonder. She's big news over here in the UK and has been nominated for/winning awards for a few years now. The US seem to be taking...

sound of silver is awesome, i keep playing it every day. will be great to see him play it live in just a month's time...

what day are you flying mate?

Plane Tickets: Hearthrow-LAX return
Festival Tickets/ Camping tickets: to collect
Greyhound tickets LA-Indio: on their way
Motel for night of the 25th: booked
Swanky hotel for night of 30th:...

she's not the best looking, no.
But she is amazing - seeing her so low down the bill is great. She'd be right at the top of UK festival billing and playing massive stages, so the chance to see her...

the Mars Volta live are fucking shit.

No 'textual evidence' required. Just listen to them. They are fucking shit.

saw him at The Big Chill last year.

god he was boring

As tends to be my way at festivals, I will probably miss the 5 acts I planned to see most cos I'll be too busy doing something else.

hear hear

I hate all that bollocks about 'you can't be a real music fan if you like this band or that band.'

A 'real' music fan is someone who is prepared to listen to anything and realise...

Frusciante is probably the best guitarist in the world today. Actually, re-phrase that, he's probably my FAVOURITE guitarist in the world today...
Because he has got the chops but chooses mainly to...

ah, cool. Thanks!



i just typed the destinations into the greyhound website and they came up, give it a whirl.

I'm getting the Greyhound bus between LA and Indio and back again. Does anyone know where the Greyhound bus stop is in relation to the festival site? Is it far?

Pop Levi
Cornelius
Kid Beyond
Peeping Tom
Hot Chip
Amy Winehouse

do all your drugs on the way there, do enough to last you all weekend.

go on.

She's got the tunes. The sound of London in the mid-2000s.
I played at a festival that she played at too last summer and I caught her set.
She'll be ace at Coachella in the afternoon sun, mark my...

the idea that you're not allowed alcohol in the campsite is absolutely ridiculous.
What happens after the show finishes then? Is everyone ushered out/back to their tents and 'lights out'?

It's nothing to do with being drunk, it's just such a bizarre notion to me that there are designated drinking areas. The festivals that I'm used to have very few rules and pretty much anything goes,...

I played a gig with Patrick Wolf once.

Very talented bloke. Bit weird too, but nice enough.

i like them - great lyrics and unquestionably English, so maybe that's why the brits like them more than the yankeeeeees.

What is the deal with the cocktail bar in the campsite? Is it big, is there music, is it busy, opening times etc?

tell me all...

the singles are great, but they are well shit live.

Arctic Monkeys will be fantastic. What are people saying about them in the US? over here they are BIG news, even now after the hype has died...

Coming from England, at our festivals it is commonplace to spend pretty much the whole day drinking and thus getting drunk at festivals.
I understand that this may be a bit foolish in the desert sun...

"The modern game was codified in England following the formation of the Football Association, whose 1863 Laws of the Game created the foundations for the way the sport is played today."
THIS is...

I'll be there... Playing there. get in!

howdy

when I pick up my tickets from will call, will I be given all three tickets on the Friday, or (as I'm told they are three separate tickets), will I need to go and collect a separate ticket...

oh well convenience charge, conschmenience charge... I've got my ticket now.. I'll be in the Californian desert in a couple of months.. it's snowing here in London today.
woo hoooooo

oh, and the Beasties are playing at the Open'er Festival in Poland in June... along with Bjork and Muse.

3-day ticket with camping = £37 ($74)!!!

Giles Martin is a musician and producer - and is George Martin's son. They both produced the Beatles 'Love' album recently.
And I dare say both made quite a few quid.

so that convenience charge is the same for all gigs in the US? That's outrageous!
Ticketmaster in the UK charges an average couple of quid or so (maybe $5?) for booking fees. Mind you, we have quite...

30-odd dollars per ticket for the convenience of booking online?
Doesn't sound particulary convenient to me.

I've heard of online booking fees but usually only about a tenth of this amount.
Is...

What's all this 'convenience charge' and 'building charge' or whatever it is?
Whatever happened to a simple booking fee??

So in effect tickets aren't actually $249 at all, they're more like $280...

thanks for the replies peeps.
Flights are booked! We're flying into LA to have a couple of nights there and look around before the fest. I've looked into it and it seems there are buses and trains...

cheers
there will be about 4 or 5 of us so a carpool is out of the question, but thanks - I'll have a look at Greyhound.

Hi all,

I'm flying into LAX from the UK, and will be travelling to the site on the Thursday (camping).
How long is the journey from LA to the site, and are there regular...
