[ebbomega]

Ridiculous as always.

I've always wanted to see Fatboy Slim DJ.

Is it just me or is a lot of this lineup like 10 years old... Portishead, The Verve, Sasha & Digweed....

Kraftwerk would be a highlight. Friends who went to see them in Seattle say it's a toss up whether they or Daft Punk win for best concert evar. These guys were rocking the Tron-light-up suits three years before the pyramid.



Just standing at a laptop the entire time. Could've been playing fucking solitaire for all we know.

[Revolver]

KRAFTWORK!.....wow

[j3rk]

surkin is a little guy isn't he...like 16 years old or something silly (at least he looks it). That was still one of my fave shows of the year though.

[ebbomega]

I've always wanted to see Spiritualized too...

[P.A.R.T.Y]

That's an amazing line-up and a spectacular venue. I've been to Nocturnal Wonderland at the same location, definitely worth the money if you can afford it.

Camping is extra. (i think it's $55 instead of $45 this year) But from what i've been reading on the message board, people who haven't booked hotels already wont really have a choice but to camp. Camping is what makes Coachella, imo. You get to meet so many fun people from all over the world. I'm still in contact with a few of them and am planning to try and camp with some of them again this year.

Tickets are more expensive than they were last year, but that only means that canadians will be paying the same as they did last year when you take into consideration that our dollar is doing better than it was last year. Although people are pissed that Goldenvoice didn't offer a pre-sale this year to people who attended last year. Pre-sale last year apparently allowed people to save $50.

There are a lot of people who are really upset about this year's lineup. Their are a lot of really unhappy people on both the message board and the myspace page...Talking about Goldenvoice Concert selling out (by booking people they think are not headliner material) and compromising the integrity of Coachella's lineup in favour of their new East Coast festival baby.

But people who love dance music are extremely excited about the awesomeness that's going to happen in the Sahara (dance tent) this year.

There will be a bunch more acts added to the poster in the next few months. That's what happened last year. People got all pissed off at the intial lineup and by March a lot of awesome smaller names were added that got people really excited.

Also last year, on top of the main five festival stages and tents, there were two other really amazing smaller areas with electronica acts that weren't advertised on the main poster. Was pleasantly surprised to see: Bassnectar, Paul Harding from Pendulum, Adam Freeland, Jacob Thiele from the Faint, Cut Chemist, and others that escape me right now.

I'm happy either way. Road tripping to sunny destinations with good friends is usually a good time. I'll definitely buy my tickets on Friday. This will be the start of an awesome vacation. Leave for Coachella on April 23rd, come home for two days. Leave for Ghana around May 1st and come home around June 1st. w00t. w00t.

nah - they postponed that till june 2009 due to waits at passport offices. you only need two pieces of gov id now. birth cert is now mandatory.

[j3rk]

Uffie sux. The only reason she's on ed banger is to give them female vocals for tracks.





OR SHE SUCKS A MEAN DICK.

Probably both.

[diva]

"She is just some hipster fucking for tracks."

People on the message board don't think they'll see out that quickly this year because a lot of people think this year's lineup is a rip off. Also people might just decide to skip Coachella this year and hope for a better east coast festival lineup.

[Pussy*Kat]

^ Good Q!

[Sykonee]

a lot of people think this year's lineup is a rip off.

'Bout sums that line-up to me, to be honest. Only Kraftwerk made me think "OMFG, THAT'S SO FACKIN' WICKED AWESOME!!!" Everyone else, even the good 'eedjum' groups... meh. Can see many of them here on their regular tours for substantially cheaper.
