Goldenvoice Presents the S.S. Coachella (aka Coachella on a Boat)

[suprefan]

BOOM. I figure we need this thread?

http://ss.coachella.com/ not up yet, but will be soon.

[miscorrections]

God you're annoying.

[spence]

Why is the Rapture so low?

[hawkingvsreeve]

Because they aren't technically playing.

[Gribbz]

Awesome. I have yet to "cruise."

[Mugwog]

WHERE IS RADIOHED

[Boourns]

Oh hell yes.

[suprefan]

Oh god here we go.

[citizenerased]

If I wasn't poor I'd be on this, I quite like a lot of the lineup. Feel bad for them getting hammered with negative reactions on Facebook

[meyouseek]

Wow, the Facebook comments are brutal. I don't see this going too well.

While I find the lineup fairly acceptable... it's not worth flying to Florida and getting on a boat.

prices start at $500 a person and there are nine other price levels, going up to $9,000 a person for a “sky suite” with veranda. Prices include lodging, food and entertainment, but not transportation to Florida or bar tabs.

“It even has a half-acre of grass,” he added. “It wouldn’t be Coachella without grass.”

Awesome. I have yet to "cruise."

Don't spoil your first cruise on this shit.

[sonicc]

Would have been killer to have one of the Swedes on this... no wonder no one liked the line-up...

[greghead]

Don't spoil your first cruise on this shit.

lulz

[miscorrections]

I hope everyone enjoys the Norovirus set in their guts.

[Grandma]

You would have to pay me to fly into florida. This will last 1 year tops.

[mountmccabe]

I like about half the lineup and I like boats. The end?

[greghead]

I hope everyone enjoys the Norovirus set in their guts.

Aaand sigged.

[bmack86]

Something about a supposedly fun thing I'll never do again?

I could get sold on Bruise Cruise, but Pulp is far too boring to get me to pay.

[kreutz2112]

something something something something the dark side.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Heh.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i still really want to do this one: http://www.70000tons.com/

[Spooks]

This is hipster heaven cruise...

[suprefan]

Not until P4k does a cruise.

[bmack86]

The best of these looks to have been the Lucy in the Sky With Diamond Ring Tour, where Boredoms and Gang Gang Dance played on a Russian Cruise vessel in the South Pacific during a solar eclipse. Now THAT would have been worth $500 (but not the $1700 they charged.)

[Mr. Fuzz]

They probably should've booked Frank Ocean for this thing.

[kreutz2112]

kill yourself.

[Mr. Fuzz]

Very original. What are you a fucking puppet?

[Spooks]

Goldenvoice, the Los Angeles concert promoter behind Coachella, resisted jumping on the bandwagon until it found what Paul Tollett, its president, described as the perfect vessel: the Celebrity Silhouette, a 1,000-foot, 122,000-ton ship with room for 2,800 fans, cabana-style alcoves and a small theater that Mr. Tollett called a “mini-Royal Albert Hall.”

“It even has a half-acre of grass,” he added. “It wouldn’t be Coachella without grass

In some cases those encounters will be planned, like a wine tasting with Mr. Murphy.

“Some sets will be longer than usual,” Mr. Tollett said. “We don’t have a curfew.”
