2014 Coachella Dates.

[nahuatldream]

I hope it's the weekend of the 11th and the weekend of the 18th. Next year, wife's spring break (teacher) falls the week between that. We'd go both weekends, to see David Bowie, Daft Punk, Boards of Canada, MBV, The Knife, and several other awesome people sure to be there next year!

i like it to be as late as possible, but i think next year will be the earliest coachella ever
i am pretty sure its weekend 4-6 and weekend 11-13
not only is easter weekend 18-10, but Lolla Brazil also already announced its dates for 2014; april 18-20

Lolla Brazil is getting stronger every year, massive crowd, and they have always been on different dates from Coachella, usually weekend or two before or after

with them publicly announcing the dates for April 18-20, i am sure Coachella has different dates locked in, cause they pretty much chase the same artists

I wonder if they'd ever do Stagecoach first...

Stagecoach 4/11 - 4/13
Coachella W1 4/25 - 4/27
Coachella W2 5/2 - 5/4

THIS.

How dare you even suggest such a thing.

[LongshotJoe]

...just kidding?

[ENluv12]

Don't mess with the grass. Not cool

[LongshotJoe]

"Okay, we won't."

[amyzzz]

Touche. They need to make that better for next year. What a disgrace.

more money in the Chellas so I doubt it.

Have W1 on easter to guarantee a sellout. W2 will have demand from those that have easter plans.

3 straight weekends.

[Bumblebee]

I'm with you on this. Some people are really worried about being "stuck" with an unsold ticket or two. In my opinion, there will have to be some big "wow" factor this year to keep momentum going for two weekends. But I feel this way also because of the demographic the lineup was tailored to this year. Not sure if the twenty somethings will quick to buy without seeing the lineup. But, I do trust Coachella to keep it fresh and new, so it will be exciting to see what happens.

Other than the Smiths, who's got "wow" factor that is distantly possible?

Daft Punk qualifies, but less so if they announce a US tour around the same time.

Bowie is a long shot

And the hicks are used to the dust. GV isn't going to put their baby in the worst weather.

[amyzzz]

The Smiths are a longshot too. And Morrissey has been so freaking sick lately.

[captncrzy]

Can you all not turn this thread into another lineup shitshow?

[amyzzz]

I blame the bee.

[Bumblebee]

I blame the bee.

if W1 will sell out no matter what then have that 3 days festival over easter or even go thu/fri/sat like some international festivals.

IMO, Stagecoach or W2 could have ticket selling issues if they fall on easter.

Figured I'd post it in here. A friend who is fairly reliable with info said there has been talks of having two weekends of Coachella this year with two different lineups. Who knows if it's legit, but I thought it was interesting.

I heard the Rolling Stones were back in negotiations.

Man, would that cause an uproar if they still do the pre-lineup presale, then come out with different lineups each weekend...someone buys for weekend 1 and Bowie appears as a weekend 2 guest only....so on and so on...

Bad strategy imho.

[scenicworld]

when they first went to 2 weekends, they made all the announcements that it was happening and that it would (attempt) to be identical lineups, so I see no reason they wouldn't explain that it was going to be 2 separate lineups ahead of time (assuming they do decide to go with 2 separate weekends).

[TomAz]

I read on a message board that they may do away with Stagecoach and make Coachella 3 weekends with a random drawing of who plays where when and Daft Punk.

[guedita]

Oh. I thought this was where we asked a board member to be our date to Coachella 2014. Now I'm embarrassed about a limerick I wrote.

you may be referencing what has come to be known by me as weekchella.

I don't think the two different lineups thing is happening, but if it did I bet they wouldn't do a presale. Tickets would just go on sale after the lineups are announced.

[Bumblebee]

The logistics of bringing upwards of 300 "worthwhile" international acts to SoCal in mid APril 2014 is worse than trying to keep 150 of them in southwest US for a week.

[TomAz]

Pretty sure one of them will be Daft Punk.

[menikmati]

Coachella is just gonna take over April...4 weeks....2 lineups for 2 weekends each.

2 different lineups is a retarded idea. Just saying.
