Pretty girls, sure, lot of skin and useless accessories, but are these people really attending a music festival or are they attending a fashion gig? Are they just here to show off their highly-researched bohemian look? Has Coachella become a fashion show?
In other Coachella-related news, say goodbye to porta-potties, and there are pictures to prove it! Curbed LA has posted a few pictures, and these have real and permanent bathrooms!! They will be located in the “terrace” section of the venue, and the concrete block building will hold 324 stalls
Based in Los Angeles, the event production Do LaB has for unique mission to create unique art installations/stages and curate cutting-edge acts at big music festivals such as Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, or events taking place in far away countries such as the 2012 Winter Solstice event, The Great Convergence, at the pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
They got Steely Dan instead of Sleater Kinney! (Isn’t it their year?) they got Azelia Banks (or is that Iggy Azalea, I always mix them up like everybody else) instead of Laura Marling, and they got David Guetta (again) instead of Lana del Rey… yes give more girl power to that thing!
This year was the first year artists saw their names printed on the Coachella poster, obviously a big progress in the recognition process. There was a time when artists were barely paid, had to buy their water like any concertgoer and didn’t even had private toilet or shower
It is hard to believe such darkness can come from 12 year-old kids (I read that they are in 7th grade!), but frontboy Malcolm Brickhouse was playing a mean guitar while being scarier than Ozzy even in his younger days
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
A graph published by the Los Angeles Times really surprised me: 69 of the 169 (40.8%) acts playing Coachella this year are classified as EDM, and only 62 are rock acts (36.7%)
Status update on my Facebook: Still not going to Coachella! Attending Coachella may have been fun and cool 10 years ago, but, after reading a few articles about this weekend festivities, there is absolutely no chance I will ever pay to attend
Of course, I am not going as I have the feeling that this hyped festival has less and less to do with music,… it’s now all about fashion, money and show-off, and I realize, about just getting one of these expensive tickets!
LAist adds that Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul is asking for $15,000 to attend the festival plus 2 VIP passes, while Kate Bosworth is asking for double and Joe Jonas will just be happy with $20,000. According to Reddit, Aaron Paul met his wife at Coachella, so he should be grateful for that and pay for his own ticket
for the first time, Coachella is offering a four-course $225 meal? What? It is not a joke and it blows my mind. When do you find the time for a four-course dinner when there are 100 bands on the bill?
I don’t really expect Muse, Arcade Fire or even Outkast to schedule one of these intimate parties, so far none of the big headliners is in the list, but who knows what could happen in the following days? Arcade Fire has done it before
Coachella is taunting you- like donuts to a diet. You think you can get a hit of that elsewhere? You’re wrong. Trust me. Today’s horror of living on the East Coast and missing this mondo fest will soon float away just like Cali when the San Andreas fault lets loose
This is true that headliner Outkast had already been announced a long time ago, that Arcade Fire was a given, as they have been playing literally everywhere lately, but Muse? I can already see your excitation, but I basically have none at this point. They excite me as much as Phoenix,
