So, I was dropping off a one-pound package yesterday—value was $67 and shipping ran me about $8.00 😲😲—and honestly, those people are completely unhinged. I almost got leveled by some guy in a suit right there in the middle of the lobby 😠

I’ve got no clue what the official headcount was for last year's festival, but from where I was standing, this year felt like half the crowd. 50k my ass 🤣🤣

And it's spelled Pendulum, not pendelum 🤣

Elizabeth Torres43 said:Why all this negativity? If you weren't feeling one act, you could've just wandered over to the other two stages—there was plenty of variety to go around... It feels pointless to trash the whole thing when there was something for everyone if you actually looked for it. Honestly, if you claim to be a real fan, let's see some actual substance instead of just venting... And regarding Billy Idol—the guy has been rocking the exact same hair, the same clothes, and the same hits for decades. You knew exactly what you were getting into... so complaining that he’s "trying to take us back to the 80s" is kind of missing the point, isn't it? 🤣

Exactly. There were so many stages running at once that anyone could have found their niche somewhere 🤷

That's why I ended up splitting off from my group—they weren't really vibing with his set, so we all went our separate ways. They hung out by Pendulum while I stuck with Billy, and then we all regrouped once everything wrapped up. 😍

Honestly, Billy was incredible 😍 I was hanging out in the second row, so I had a pretty clear view of everything 😍 It made total sense that they’d play all the big hits, and honestly, hearing Sweet Sixteen was the absolute highlight for me 🙏 😍 Though, if we're being picky, having Cradle of Love on the lineup would have been the cherry on top—but hey, let's not split hairs 😁

Audio Bullys killed it, but man, LCD was a massive letdown 😢 The sound was just way too low-key—it felt more like a casual rehearsal than a headline concert 🤷

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if we were wading through knee-deep mud—as long as the rain stays away and we don't have to deal with that pathetic, biting wind blowing through everything.

👋 👋 👋 Billy 😍😍

Let me know how things went today—we’re sitting this one out. Honestly, the only act I actually care about is TTB, but I can always catch them some other time. This wind is absolutely brutal right now 😲

But tomorrow... 🙂 🙂 Billy 😍

Quick heads-up—they’ve got rain ponchos available at the booth near the main plaza. I grabbed $1.50 🤣🤣🤣 five of them right away 😁
just to be safe.

13 degrees 😲 😲

heading into town now to hunt down some rain gear—honestly, I don't even know which store to start with 🙂

quietcobra said:Do you actually remember how often they run it?

I don't have the exact number burned into my brain—probably something like every 10 or 15 minutes, I guess.

Michelle Mitchell17 said:So where does that shuttle service actually go? http://www.t-mobileinmusicfestival.com/info/kako-doci
around the lake area? 🤷

Yeah, it just loops around the grounds continuously—kind of like a glorified carousel. It’s actually pretty handy; last year we parked way out past the festival perimeter to dodge those ridiculous parking fees, and the shuttle dropped us right at the main gates. 😉

Laura Grant4 said:is anyone else feeling even a tiny bit let down by this year's lineup? look, I'm not trying to start a fight about taste—some people might be thrilled—but it just feels a bit thinner than last year...😢
but hey, here I am anyway. I'm still curious about Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Pendulum, and Billy... though honestly, it's hard to tell if they were ever actually that good to begin with.

Yeah, 😢 last year I was basically wandering around aimlessly, but this year I'm sitting here questioning why I'm even bothering 🤷 😢 except for Billy, obviously. 😍 If he wasn't on the bill, the tickets would have sold out ages ago—or more likely, I wouldn't have bought one in the first place.😢

Edward Hernandez60 said:I haven't been following things closely lately, but where did Kiril disappear to?

That’s what I was wondering too 😢—he isn't listed anywhere on the lineup 😢

it’s kind of wild how Billy Idol and Pendulum actually vibe together 🙂

Dana Richardson16 said:Oh wow!! This is awesome, thanks jadeskipper18 👍

nnč 😉

Of course it is—it’s all basically on the same island anyway 🤷 last year they had the silent disco right at the very front, near the entrance 😉

goldenlynx30 said:I think it’s on you,
considering this is basically the only gig that’s been running consistently for years—on a weekday, no less—and honestly, it’s a miracle given how niche the crowd is. It's always packed with people looking for that more sophisticated electronic sound, so...

I reckon we’d all have a better idea if you just specified what kind of shows and music you actually vibe with.

Look, I already mentioned that for me the experience was a total disaster—not that I’m telling anyone they have to go listen to 😁

I dig all sorts of music, but I'm not really in the mood to sit here and list them out 🥳 and besides, that’s not even the point of this whole conversation

I hit up that Electronic music set at Aquarius last year—honestly, one of the absolute worst parties I’ve ever dragged myself to, and believe me, I’ve been to plenty of them. 🤷
I think I’ll just sit this one out when it comes to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. 😁

Linda Torres27 said:and I’m really eyeing that hoodie—pretty sure it was the one thing I missed out on last year.

honestly, same here 😁everyone else seemed to be grabbing those hoodies like they were going out of style 😢

Yeah, he was. But look, nobody’s actually forcing you to listen to him 😁
