And you can’t hear her

It’s ok, this is a banger

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Not been particularly impressed by him but this song is catchy

Didn’t realise! Thought there was no 1D songs.

Acording to setlist.fm he hasn't played it much since 2018, but he also hasn't toured that much since then. 

[Matt42]

Man his band sounds tight

Think we can all agree that today, Coachella truly is Harry’s House.

What I have learned about Coachella vs Glastonbury and this is probably BBC production, the camera work is not great.

Was thinking exactly the same thing. It really was shoddy at times

With Glastonbury it makes me want to be there, in the crowd, I feel like the crowd shots are few and far between and the ones they do show are just 'eh'.  Its way more 'on stage/look at this production' type cameras.

Agreed. I wonder if Harry will have a certain pointy house later this summer too.

I reckon he could be in with a shout of opening the Pyramid on the Friday. Not based on anything just pure speculation on my part. Would make sense tour wise as he travels from Ireland to Hamburg

I'm genuinely shocked that he wasn't on the first poster. He really would be a perfect booking, sub to Billie?

I think if he’s headlining coachella then unless he’s playing a secret set (like radiohead, the killers etc) then he’s not gonna be playing so makes sense he wasn’t on the poster given we have all our headliners sorted

What I saw of Harry looked great but the atmosphere just looks dead at this festival 

When I watch most UK festivals on TV I'm wishing I was there even for the acts I'm not interested in. I had no desire to be there for coachella

[she bangs the drums]

Does anyone know if Idles set is on any of three video channels? 

I had a quick look on all three but could only seem them being interviewed? 

[Matt42]

Ahhh I love Coachella weekend streaming. Gets me in the mood.

From what people have said on here, you're only allowed to drink in certain areas. So my guess is for the first 2-3 acts most people just spend time at the bars/wondering around. 

The main reason is once your in the arena for the day, you can't go back to camp and re-enter. Combined with the heat and thats why it makes sense people stick in the campsite till as late as possible (or tents/bar areas)

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Just watching Bishop Briggs (she’s good) on live stream 1, what’s with the mostly empty pen front right, looking out from the stage? Some sort of VIP area that fills up as the day goes on?

Ok, that makes sense as to why an artist with a track that has had over 300m streams on Spotify has currently got an absolutely minuscule crowd.

What’s the logic behind it though, it won’t make sense from a monetary point of view as people will just delay entering for as long as possible so they’ll lose money at the bars not gain, it also looks shit with loads of acts performing to tiny crowds for a lot of the day. So it must be a licensing thing as far as alcohol is concerned?

Yanks are weird.

most of us make fun of coachella for that too

 

the other major festivals don't have beer jail

[Earth_pig]

I don't think there is really a comparison they are totally different beasts and most people haven't been to cochella to compare, I'd take the weather and Harry styles looked like a good set.

That's terrible you can't go back to your tent? How do they enforce that?
