Coachella Being Uncool With Its Artists

By Alyson Camus | June 28, 2014

Streaming Day 2 Of Coachella 2014

By Alyson Camus | April 14, 2014

A great advantage of this Coachella-in-your-living-room is the ability to switch from one stage to another at the click of the mouse, the stream is not even buffering and only for this it’s worth it, as they have greatly improved the technology

EDM Dominates Coachella's 2014 Lineup

By Alyson Camus | April 14, 2014

The Wait Is Over: 2013 Coachella Line-Up Is Here!

By Alyson Camus | January 27, 2013

I blame all these false rumors about the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Smiths and an all-vegetarian festival, or even another reunion of Rage Against the Machine… but none of the above, sorry! Instead we will have Blur, The Stone Roses (close enough to the Stones), Sofia Coppola’s favorite Frenchies

The Coachella Cruise, A Lovely Music Fest

By Alyson Camus | December 26, 2012

they mentioned their wish list for Coachella: David Bowie, Talking Heads, Iron Maiden and the Smiths! Good luck at booking any of these acts but Paul Tollett noted they were trying every year to get the Smiths as they offered them $5 million last time! one last thing regarding the music cruise itself, they weren’t sure about its future despite its apparent success.

And Now S.S. Coachella The Music Festival At Sea, Or The Indie Cruise For Hipsters

By Alyson Camus | July 19, 2012

they seem to present quite a few advantages: No curfew, no long drive through the hot desert, no camping, and close encounters with the stars, as a matter of fact, a wine tasting with James Murphy is part of the schedule.

Goldenvoice May Soon Be Moving Coachella and Stagecoach Music Festivals Out Of Indio

By Alyson Camus | July 5, 2012

By Alyson Camus | May 16, 2012

By Alyson Camus | January 18, 2012

So what can a desperate fan do? There are still scalpers, eBay, Craiglist,… There are tons of tickets for sale on Craiglist,but when I say desperate, the term is weak. Here is an ad found on craiglist:

Coachella 2012 line-up

By Alyson Camus | January 11, 2012

Everyone agrees that the line-up is strong this year,although the Black Keys look like a weak choice for some? Well, they just were on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine so,… but Saturday looks attractive (at least for me), and no it’s not because David Guetta is playing!

By admin | January 13, 2011

The Coachella lineup we posted yesterday is a fake, for a little while it looked cool, way too cool to be true in fact. But it really looked credible, Kayne West, Daft Punk, and Arcade Fire have already played Coachella in the past, so they could play again, right? Especially, the poster looked authentic because…
