WTF GOLDENVOICE?

[ayalael87]

2 weekends?

[baily]

more chella is better than less chella

[Unicornsrcool]

This could be a good thing. Or it could be really messy. Which weekend do you choose?

[stellarpoet22]

thats the problam which weekend do we choose...just another way for more money....for coachella

[ayalael87]

i hate corporations. no one really wants to see thom yorke or daft punk play the same shit twice. or how unfair would it be for an act to put on a mediocre show one weekend and a fantastic show the other? does goldenvoice really think this is a good idea? facebook, twitter, these boards and everywhere else i'm reading is all against it. please your fans GV not your pockets

[Lithium]

coachella is dead

[Beanbean]

Total kill, like every artist has the time to stay in Coachella for 2 weekends, GOOD luck

Wait.. what part of making Coachella available to more fans isn't trying to please their audience? More money is a related effect, but I think the intention was to avoid another year of 1,000's of fans getting screwed out of Coachella.

have you attended a single concert in your life? do you know anything about thom yorke or daft punk fans? have you ever seen back to back shows at the same venue with a totally different vibe? nothing you said makes sense. nothing.

[Drewski27]

hes a noob. he doesnt know any better.

[Drewski27]

there is way too much hate now. just wait. the second the first weekend sells out half of these haters are going to be saying something very different.

[bemerritt]

You only plan on selling ~140,000 tickets when you know something that the consumer doesn't. I bet they have a headliner locked (probably one that this board constantly wants) and want to give plenty of people a chance to see it.

As much as I don't like the idea, I think it alludes to something awesome being in the works behind the scenes.

[PrettyRagdoll]

coachella is dead

I... never thought I'd say this... Especially after how awesome this year was, but...

Yeah. It really is.

[faxman75]

Except it isn't. It's twice as alive.

[kronz420]

Coachella used to be special now it might as well just tour cause this is bullshit

[algunz]

I don't get the beef? Having two options give people who had issues with school an opportunity and for those poor souls who got screwed on tickets. And selling them this early is awesome. The monthly payment will be tiny. I'm stoked.

[JustSteve]

i'd like to know the age range of those freaking out versus those taking it in stride. is it the younger crowd so averse to the change? are us older people more apt to just go with the flow, knowing there are for more important things to worry about.

[Premium Roast]

wonder if they get off on posting news and watching the bitchfest afterward. "Open the floodgates", "Roger that".

[JustSteve]

there is definitely some laughing going on at some of the shit posted here...

There are definitely more important things in life to worry about, but obviously this is a very important weekend to a lot of people on here, so I think it's only natural for people to be upset with a change like this. Not to beat a dead horse, but some things should only happen once...like the whole arcade fire beach ball drop for example. That would just not be as cool the second time around. To try and replicate things like that is just lame if you ask me.

that's kind of sad.

[BeeII]

I think i'm going to create an extra powerful strain of marijuana and call it "goldenvoice"

cause these guys are high as fuck.

[Ravingmad]

it also lets GV sell more tickets to deal with higher artist prices and whatnot while keeping actual crowding on the field down, don't mind that at all

as long as the lineup for both weekends is pretty close to the same

[BeeII]

I'm guessing you have to pick which weekend you want when you order during the presale?

If so that kinda sucks, how am i supposed to pick nearly a year out in advance? so 2 days to sort out logistics like which weekend are my friends going, lodging, etc, etc. :/

[C DUB YA]

but I think the intention was to avoid another year of 1,000's of fans getting screwed out of Coachella.

Not really, but it's a nice side effect..

[Distorted_Jungle]

The intention is to make more money with the same lineup, they just worded it in a way to make you feel like it's to help you out when it's really just greed. I will move on to new things now, coachella has lost what made it special.

[NachoCat]

More $$$ = Better lineup?

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Yes. A two-date tour.
