Coachella Festival - May 1 & 2

[Millie]

Let's get a head count for who's got tickets and is planning to go.

What night(s) are you going, and how many tickets have you got?

[Kiksar]

I'm going with a friend from back home and my girlfriend. So 3 tickets, both nights, and we're camping. Oh yes, and i *believe* we have an extra camping pass, so if you really need one let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Looks to be 2 great days of music, although I'm a bit bummed about Wilco Maybe they'll bring on some suprise performances to compensate though! Either way, it'll be cool, maybe I'll see some of you there.

[Millie]

I've got one of 4 tickets with a group of friends. Both nights + camping passes. Should be awesome.

The loss of Wilco does suck, but at least we've got Radiohead, the Pixies, The Cure, etc. Hell, I'd still be excited to go if it was just Radiohead.

[Kiksar]

Yeah, it's an amazing lineup anyway I just saw Radiohead a little while back in L.A., so I'll definately enjoy seeing them again, but I'm really looking forward to seeing bands I haven't seen before, Wilco being pretty much at the top of that list But why the hell am I complaining? I can still hope that Perfect Circle and Mars Volta randomly show up though, hah!

[Haldainas]

I have two day tickets, going with a friend.

[Bralkan]

I'm envious of all those that live in Cali.

Music Midtown sucks this year.


Atleast Journey is going to be there =/

Agreed, so very jealous. Corporate office is in Anaheim so maybe I can find some reason for the boss to send me out there. How far away is it from Anaheim?

Radiohead is awsome live. Went down to Houston to see them last year and it was a great show. Supergrass opened for them so it was a small bonus!

[Kiksar]

It's like, hrm... 2 hours from anaheim. probably. i don't live down there anymore, and i've never actually done the drive, but 2 hours sounds close enough for me about 2 hours straight east.

[Yeta]

I want to go soooo badly
Damn my living in Oregon for preventing me from attending amazing music festivals

[Mixtilplix]

They just added Beck to Saturdays show.

[Jimmee]

Mogwai are going to get badly sunburned there

[agris]

Mogwai live is soooo good, heard their Peel Session recording? Plus the pixies + radiohead, goddamn you california.

[Jimmee]

The night I meant to download the Like Herod peel session my computer killed itself, however it's back now and it shall soon be mine!

I'd really strongly suggest going to see them if you're going.

[Millie]

Latest rumor is that Thom Yorke has been talking about cancelling the Radiohead appearance. Whether that's true or not remains to be seen -- but he has unexpectedly cancelled some of his first tour dates after Coachella. Supposedly this is due to a sore throat.

I have a feeling Radiohead will still play, though. There will be 30,000+ ANGRY fans if the headlining act flakes on the festival.

[Kiksar]

UPDATE (4/29/04): Thom and the band have arrived in Los Angeles and are still expected to perform this Saturday. More details to come...

from green plastic

they're usually pretty reliable. i really hope they are this time...

but yeah, day one is sold out, i don't remember where i read this but i thought they said they were selling up to like 100,000 tickets when they went on sale. so there are going to be a load of people pissed off if radiohead doesn't play. but hey, i'll be happy enough if the band plays and thom just gets up there and looks goofy


TOMORROW!
