I would kill to attend this

Man that's a few really good artists.

Grimes, Death Grips, Ice Cube, CHVRCHES, Sufjan and LCD?! CYA SOON 'MURICA!

GNR.

That's gonna be interesting.

damn.....wish I was near this....guess I'll have to settle for whatever Summerfest throws at us

pretty underwhelming lineup tbh

I wouldn't be surprised if Death Grips didn't show up for one or both days.

wish UK festivals were as good as this only decent festival we have is Green Man

Sonisphere and Bloodstock rule in the UK dude!

UNDERWORLD!!!!

Skepta!

Sonisphere and Bloodstock aren't really my thing tbh, but they look decent

Also forgot Great Escape that's a cool festival

year seven incoming

see you there

hipsters unite!

[2]

ill b there

more like trendychella 2016

good lord that lineup

im sure everyone going will have a great time (:

"you americans and your festivals."

RIP Soundwave

RIP Soundwave [2]

basically all shit artists that sputnik collectively masturbates over. $400 just for a ticket no fucking thanks, that's hilarious

Agreed tbh

I wouldn't go to this even if someone paid me $400 to. what a load of bawls

wait there are no punk or metal bands at Coachella?

Anyone up for Glastonbury to fuck off the headliner and do shrooms in a field while stark bollock naked?

Some great mid tier bands but no real heavy hitters headlining.

would only go and see Ice Cube tbh

@jwt155 how the shit does the original gnr lineup not constitute as "heavy hitters?"

i'm not even a fan but there's no denying that's a big deal

also the return of lcd soundsystem i mean come on

LCD Soundsystem Reunion is great but they hardly light a candle against past headliners like Paul McCartney, Tool, Depeche Mode, Arcade Fire, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and other bands that literally have universal appeal and were still highly relevant and excellent live when they performed. LCD Soundsystem is awesome, but for the most part they're a niche band that doesn't have have the universal appeal of the bands listed above. In terms of GNR, they haven't been relevant for nearly 2 decades, Axl Rose already canceled his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel tonight (what a surprise...) and in my honest opinion their set is a disaster waiting to happen.

LCD Soundsystem and GNR aren't terrible picks but ones a very niche based band lacking universal appeal and GNR are a band over the hill that haven't been relevant for decades, with an incomplete lineup lacking Izzy and will most likely be a disaster of a show.

yah the lineup is pretty dope tbh

wish UK festivals were as good as this only decent festival we have is Green Man

Glastonbury??? If you travel to the US from the UK, Governors Ball, Firefly, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza usually have decent lineups. I'd do Lollapalooza before Coachella, Chicago is a great town.

glastonbury is mental apparently. gotta be done at some point

"that's ok, 'cos we're all sorted out for E's and Whizz"

Fantastic song, was just listening to it this morning

Axl Rose cancelling his appearance on Kimmel, sounds like things are off to a good start.

Damn i feel old now, I remember when it finally dropped my freshman year of college

GNR... Like Axl will actually show up.

Glastonbury is the pinnacle but even that's probabaly ATMs, corporate sponsors, and clones recording the moment through an I-Pad now.
Says it all when you'd rather have a crusty juggler wearing a jesters hat stinking up the place with their moon bean salad farts talking twaddle over today's 'crowd'

glastonbury looks awful. its a "weekend hipsters" paradise. imagine paying £300 to have your view blocked by a million flag waving twats.

no one goes to glastonbury for the music

Festivals have definitely shifted from being a music lovers paradise to a weekend of advertising and catering the lineup to the lowest denominator of teens and college kids. Promoters are now more worried about selling tickets than actually providing a top tier festival lineup.

I imagine a lot do but hey

Woodstock 99 was the last great festival. Would have loved to have been at that one

There's loads of little festivals that pop up but they usually get flooded with oiks there soley to get totally off their face.
St Johns ambulance members running about tripping over 20 billion discarded pints of piss while some 11yr old gurns his way through the set of Beardy Bill and the Twangers..

"oiks"

lol

"definitely gonna travel to california to go do it one day"

fish I live in California and I still can't manage going to this, no matter how much I want to, Plus it's an El ninõ year so the likely hood of getting rained on is high and an unattractive possibility

Woah. With that play icon splashed across Axls face he could be easily mistaken for a really attractive woman.
Look at the way she's holding that mic like a phallic object the filthy slag!

Wow, Garrett Borns is playing Coachella. Never would've thought someone from my hometown would be able to say they've done that. Never personally met the dude, but that's pretty wild.

GNR will be scheduled for like 2 hours or something but will only play 30 minutes cause Axl will show up late

He basically confirmed something like this will happen considering he jumped ship on kimmel

Death Grips should be amusing

a GNR reunion tour would be a disaster

On the topic of great festivals: Mountain Jam is absolutely killer. My dad and I went there last summer and the year before and we both had a blast

what a bunch of crappy bands.....

Down here in Texas, no one who actually gives two shits about music goes to music festivals. They're just an excuse for a bunch of underage fuckwits to smoke weed and get hammered.

yeah, texas doesn't have any huge music festivals...

also "underage high schoolers" is a bit redundant, no?

i think there's a carbon monoxide leak itt

Breathe deep and let it in.

acl is pretty big

@voltairesangryglove: fixed
@barcafan21: That's easily our most legit festival. Free Press in Houston is the one that I was mainly referring to; it's an absolute fucking mess. Spending a weekend with hammered 15 year olds isn't exactly my idea of a good time.

yeah i went to acl this year and it was pretty great, the bus system was super convenient and helpful, also great lineup

LCD Reunion???!! didnt just release an album like 3 years ago?? talk bout some hiatus or "breakup"

6 years ago

Texas has SXSW right???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ8y8AvXu5Q

ftr i was being sarcastic and my point was the texas has some of the biggest festivals (and waistlines) in 'merica.

poe's law and all that

Sheer Mag wat

Ive been to Coachella twice and Im over it. Ive been to Bonnaroo a few times as well and even though the lineup lacks in comparison, Ive had a lot more fun there. Its also way cheaper.

Probably doing Moogfest, Bonnaroo, and Fun Fun Fun this year tho

I may do Lollapalooza this year, Chicago is a great city and I can bar hop and go to a hotel at the end of the night.

don't worry guys i go so you don't have to

i want to do lollapalooza one year but imo the environment at coachella is second to none. polo fields are my favorite venue ever

my brother is trying to get me to do coachella possibly this year (buying passes tmw), if I go I expect a meetup and subsequent boozing klap

without a doubt. protip if you have an AMEX use this link https://coachella-amex.frontgatetickets.com/

LCD Reunion???!! didnt just release an album like 3 years ago?? talk bout some hiatus or "breakup"

klap, my bro is interested in the AMEX link. are you 100% sure it will be active tmw? what makes this link unique? shorter checkout queue?

it worked when i did the presale in june, i'm assuming it will work tomorrow. i would open both just to be in case. it's borderline impossible to get a weekend 1 ticket at the general onsale these days the line is way too long. not many people know about that AMEX or have one so it's a lot shorter/nonexistent on that one

Some great mid tier bands but no real heavy hitters headlining. [2]

This lineup is getting worse every year and somehow the prices aren't lowering.

More pretentious drivel here than I expected

Is this the festival where everyone who lives that hipsterish SO-CAL lifestyle shows up and pretends they love half the acts on show when really they just went on daddy's credit card?

^cooking my eggs on that take

yes

spot on clay
