Who is going to be this years trainwreck?

[hippityhip]

I worked security for a Snoop Dogg show about a year ago. He was over an hour late onstage because he was watching a Lakers game.

this is justified.

[KickerConspiracy]

I sure as hell hope Dre&Snoop go on late. Moar Modeselektor

[Nealocus]

ATDI. Not a die-hard fan but read a few reviews of their Austin (I think?) performance a few days ago and the reviewers said they had lost a lot of their spunk. Who knows though...I'm sure the Coachella atmosphere can be a huge bonus to any bands energy.

[fooffybunny]

you keep your mouth shut during his set.. understood?

sir yes sir! permission to sway?

[girmaff420]

Don't listen to him. I'll never fault someone for singing along as long as it's at an "appropriate volume" (read: not screaming if it's a quieter song), and as a performer I can't imagine there are much bigger thrills than hearing a festival crowd sing your own lyrics back to you.

[jiggly]

if u blurt out lines before singer starts then you're doing it wrong

[girmaff420]

Well, yeah...

This isn't the Weeknd's US debut. What are you guys talking about?

Okay well I got that info from this:

so if he's snuck in a small show somewhere then forgive me!

Hope you guys are patient.

can't blame him. lakers play against the mavericks on sunday in the morning so he doesn't have that as an excuse!

Godspeed will have sound issues since they have such little time to set up and the mess next door is going to bleed into their set

[frizzlefry]

Yeah I was thinking about Godspeed. I'd love to see them but I feel their Coachella set will be just a cheap imitation of their actual show. Azealia also should be a possibility.

[Foucault]

The Weeknd

untested live + huge buzz = trainwreck

[involvelemons]

The only problem at Weeknd will be his fans singing along. And the fact that his face doesn't match his music. People are gonna expect J. Holiday mixed with Iggy Pop, and they're gonna get a chubby faced American Apparel employee.

Shit's still gonna be dope, though.

[mattyxxice27]

The entire Sahara tent.

you must live under a rock because he's toured canada.

Nah she puts on a hell of a show live.

My biggest fear. ATDI was all energy, the music was almost secondary. If they come out and stand around it will sink the set.

TMV have maintained energy pretty well, although it has been a few years since I last saw them. I am hoping they will have most of that energy back come weekend 2

[CoachellaVet09]

The Weeknd will be just fine

[Ryweiser]

So please explain why so many of you still think The Weekend will bomb? I'm not too familiar but my friends are excited to see him...

[CoachellaVet09]

They think because he's new, doesn't have "tour experience", and that since his music is based off being amazing singer, he's gonna get nervous and fuck up for some reason...

These people would also have you think that the Airplane Boys are the best choice for that time slot, so go see them :P

[Prelude]

M83- train wreck of Friday. Now that shit was weak.

[juloxx]

Amon Tobin

[sk8njam]

The Weeknd.

they were insane man i was in the very front section of the mainstage...such a badass set, and the crowd was definitely hyped for sure

[sk8njam]
