Make a Coachella Lineup In Retrospective - COMPETITION!

[TerminallyCHILL]

Alright, I'm pretty sure this is my last poster, since there don't seem to be many 1981's and I'm celebrating the resurgence of "Star Trek" - without specifically violating their copyrights. "Star Trek" paid my bills for years... time to pay it back.... or forward, if it means I can beat the kid from "Sixth Sense" to death on the schoolyard.

Nice with the ABBA headline but you spelled Indio wrong at the top. Seems rather important, maybe. Just lettin you know. Great poster.

[halyem]

No, you couldn't. Know why? Cause Pink Floyd was selling out Coachella sized venues on their own.

yea, and paul mccartney sells out coachella sized venues on his own too, but he played last year. daft punk too. also, a lot of times bands LIKE to play festivals. hell, phish can get 80,000 people to go to their own festivals but still played bonnaroo.
do you really have to disagree with everything everyone says on the internet? doesnt that get exhausting?


edit - and speaking to this point a bit more, isn't it the mark of a great festival that they should be able to get the big guns to play it?

[TomServo]

Okay, I know you have Tenacious D on the last line... but according to the Outside Lands Festival (or their PR guy), they only had ONE song in 1994, and that was the year they played their first show. At a bar. So.... probably unlikely. But it's your poster!

Plus, Primus is pretty low here.

[Foucault]

Hey Everybody,

Here's my attempt at 1984, a tribute to all that was bright and Miami Vice. Enjoy!

Also, "Politics of Dancing" was a song, I think you mean the group Re-Flex...

D'oh! Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn't counting on strong consideration with that one, but I'll edit it anyhow.

Yeah, they headlined Lolla in 1993.

[johnnypolite]

I like seeing the different 1984 lineups

[wscmx13]

I might get some heat for having pink floyd as my headliner but i've been working on this for a while and am really pleased with the turn out.

thanks for the tip, ill take it out.
i just know that they formed in 93 and had already been playing around LA by then, so i figured they woulda had at least a set (30 mins?) worth of material.

all i would advise you to do is to fix g clinton and parliament funkadelic to either parliament or funkadelic. the bands were still separate then, and in their early years.



and i fixed the primus/tenacious D issue - thanks for the heads.

They were in the middle of literally the biggest tour ever. Daft Punk does not sell out 65,000 seat arenas. Neither does Paul McCartney frankly.

[TomServo]

Edited my "Star Trek" themed poster in its original post. I look forward to seeing everyone else's contributions!

Paul McCartney plays to 350,000 in Kiev

and i suppose you are right about daft punk, i was reaching.... but as i edited in my previous post, it is the mark of a great festival to be able to have the biggest and best playing.

what does the band care if its just ONE gig where they will earn 250,000 instead of 500,000 (made those numbers up, but you see my point).

[Monklish]

Jesus Christ. I can't wait to get an actual count of how many Floyd headliners there are at contest's end, you unimaginative fuckbags.

[choice cat]

1984 looks excellent.

Anybody can play to 350,000 in Kiev. Metallica played to 700,000 in Moscow.

The point is it's unrealistic and shows a complete lack of creativity. You really wanna know why the band wouldn't bother doing it? Well, let's see, if they play to 55,000 people at their own show they make between 50-150 dollars per ticket sold, plus sell probably at least four or five times as much merch. You can say, "but why wouldn't they," expect if your logic was sound they would have. I'm sure Glastonbury asked them.

It's making me want to change mine, even though I was excited about it at the outset. Hell, I just put Queen on a poster.

Count the Lou Reed, Bowie, and George Clinton iterations! Heck.. I might count em up, just for fun.

[halyem]

you are self righteous and angry. wanna talk about it?
im just making a case for the poster i made. you bitch about everyones posters and have yet to make one. put your money where your "imaginative" mouth is. and don't say you dont know how to use photoshop, cause neither do i. i trust your musical expertise. lay a poster on all of us.

[C DUB YA]

I like how you do this for a living and yet you're still a brutally unimaginative douchebag.

I don't make posters for a living. But since you are only full of critical thought and amazing ideas apparently, just what by chance, is imaginative to you.

LittleRoom 1969 poster: very nice design.

My poster's coming, motherfucker. But no matter what I put up won't change the fact that you jagoffs can't think of 15 headliners between 50 of you.

[halyem]

and i wasnt being sarcastic when i said i trust your musical expertise.

[C DUB YA]

can any photoshop people help me please?

so i made the color selection thing that was docked on the right hand side above my layers close and i cant figure out how to get it back. any idea where i should go to do that? make a tool window reappear?

You can open any window through the window menu option

[choice cat]

i actually trust monklishs musical expertise as well. unsarcastically.

[halyem]

well, if its anything like his poster making expertise....

[C DUB YA]

maybe I haven't been paying attention but the addition of Elton John to your poster is a good choice. i haven't seen him on any of the other posters. unfortunately, you can't really read any of the other bands because your background is too distracting

I have elton on my 71

And I HAD Elton on my '71 as well haha. I've seen him on a few posters I'm sure.

[C DUB YA]

I'm working on a 89 or 90 (90) lineup I think you will not only agree with, but even Monklish might actually enjoy.

We shall see though.

[TickleMeElmo]

There are a shit ton of repeat headliners for these posters. Hell I changed my headliners for my '92 poster just cuz they've been done so many times, one of which I haven't seen anybody use yet. I'll hopefully have it done tomorrow, I'm scrapping my current design and starting a new one. Maybe I'll bust out an '88 & '96 too.

Hip-hopchella : 1996


I had a so much fun making this and researching for it. hope it's accurate. thanks to the select board members who threw some suggestions my way for some of these acts.
