Altho I was told by the LA Times that the Sahara tent was for up and coming bands, don't know why Blink are on that one. And early too.

They're a late 'surprise' addition. Arcade Fire were added in a similar slot last year when the timetables were released

Was just looking it up... it says DJ driven but Blackpink and Madonna played there before and Blink??

So, to summarise the thread and give my conclusion. The 2 festivals do not compare at all. They have some comparable elements like they both have music and people generally have a good time. Otherwise they are a different type of festival catering for different sets of people, maybe cultural. Neither better than the other just different which is great. 

Bit like my Auntie Pat and Auntie Shelia. Very different people and experience to be around. But both fucking lovely

Just got seemingly very in securing a Jai Paul record so getting ridiculously excited for his first live set, looks like it's going to be an early wake up on Monday morning for that!

Was in the park, wrote bands as a placeholder for artist or performer or whatever, really.

You are incredibly diplomatic and kind 🙂

Get your Do Lab on with special guests James Blake, Odesza and others. But clearly they cater to nobody ever.

who are you talking to here ? yourself ?

This thread was an absolute romp, really improved my train journey.

I do think the fact that 2/3 of Coachella’s headliners aren’t exclusively English language artists is super interesting. Very indicative of how increasingly hybridised and decreasingly Anglo-centric the mainstream is becoming.

Also that map with the prioritised car camping should be on the money under ‘In God We Trust’.

As I say I think there is more to it than just the festivals choice. Europe generally has no strict rules though Opener does I believe.

who’s going to Coachella ?

It was a few years ago and I was genuinely worried about any parfanalia being found and triggering a more intense search.

You say that now, but wait til later when someone gets their taco knocked out of their hand by a wayward hacky sack, and spills it on someone's else Shrek blanket, and it'll all go off big style.

[Jacko45]

Some odd folk about getting tribal and militant about a festival.

It wont be for everyone, but it looks like it'll be amazing for some.

Out of interest is the ticket sale time as frenzied as glastonbury?

I'm not entirely unconvinced that Supre isn't some kind of AI bot.

Not one of the modern ones like ChatGPT or Bard, obviously. But some earlier prototype before they added the ability to recognise context and nuance.
