Coachella is the same for lower-billed acts. Organizers see it as the best sort of promotion if you get booked there. Not sure about the super-headliners. I would guess they get a fairly high rate. Not sure why Coachella bothers given the place will sell out regardless of who the headliner is. Guess it’s a prestige thing.
Genuine question for the US members: Cochella or Lolla’?
Lol, America really doesn’t know how to do festivals.
Movement aside that is of course.
Coachella because it’s closer and the surrounding area is beautiful. But it is bonkers hot. Like obscene. Gotta be 130/55 in those dance tents midday. They used to have excellent lineups for the music we like. Haven’t been in years but saw S&D, Daft Punk, Chems multiple times, Richie Hawtin, Breakbeat Era & Reprazent, Depeche Mode, Michael Mayer, countless others.
Seeing Air live with the sun setting over the mountains is great memory.
Speaking as a Metallica-fan Lollapalooza was probably over by the time Metallica headlined it in 1996.
Dan profit mostly goes to charity now that the cunts at Livenation have fucked off out it. Livenation made that festival a nightmare
Along_the_Wire proceeds went to Greenpeace (to the best of my knowledge) for decades. Then London came calling…
Haha, Ed and Darren already ironing their gold hotpants.
Would like to go to Coachella but for the fact that its fill of c**ts, the lineups are awful and it looks absolutely horrific
nicksneddon Would you not go to Burning Man over Coachella?
Yeah I would, it looks like a colossal effort though even more so than Glasnost
Almost every single person I know that went to Glastonbury has got the rona - no-one has got it bad at all.
Along_the_Wire I can imagine, glad to hear it’s pretty mild for everyone this time round
My missus has, so that’s fucked Wimbledon a bit.
You must be clear now so surely so thats Win Win (apart from the whining that she cant go herself)
Along_the_Wire My missus has, so that’s fucked Wimbledon a bit.
Happy to step in as your plus one Grant!
I’ll take it!

Good grief, you all are a miserable bunch. Nonstop complaining about seemingly everything.
And the lineups are awful because it’s not 20 years ago. We’re not the target demographic anymore.
Not me Jonatton, my disposition is always optimistic!
