Coachella - wish i was there

Seasoned festival professional still able to keep hold of the beer.




A friends sister told me she was going to go to a festival in California this year. Known for bringing bands back together such as Pavement and Death From Above 1979 in recent years and being the USA's answer to Glasto, I investigated..........





 Turns out to be some boss festival and has a sick ol' line up.

Best of the British: Radiohead, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Pulp, Florence & The Machine Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys
Best of USA: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and The Black Keys.

The big shock for me was a eagerly anticipated reunion from cult following rock band At The Drive-In the precursor (yay used that word again) to The Mars Volta who are pretty epic with both bands being known for their energetic live shows.

Grammy award-winning duo La Roux will also appear alongside UK dance acts SBTRKT, Calvin Harris and Nero and a whole bunch more.



For the first time the event will take place over two weekends on 13-16 April and 20-22 April featuring the same line-up. Around 90,000 places will be available for each weekend. Totes jel -_-


Me and my pals happening upon some poor chap in distress at Glastonbury

    ATDI would be a lot of fun to see I think.

    Also, I think two weekends is a lot of time to dedicate to a concer.

    "Radiohead" Nah, I'll be sitting that one out. Calling Radiohead the best of anything is like listing who won gold at the Special Olympics.

    Coachella is not a place I would ever care to go, but I would dig the black keys live.

    Sweden is pretty heavily represented with Refused, The Hives, AVICII, Swedish House Mafia and Miike Snow. Really I wish I could go. :/

    you should also visit one of best European music festivals EXIT in Novi Sad, Serbia, which is one of top festivals for years now around the world. It is held at an ancient medieval fortress and is mostly visited by drunken Brits and other European youngsters :)
