Anyone know if they’re adding another headliner?
It's not that I'm complaining about New Order, it's just that since those other acts canceled, shouldn't they have filled those slots with someone else? They were supposed to announce more performers, right?

Oh, please...
why is it so hard for you to just sell it?

The rest of the show? I was in a total trance.😛 I just know they played "omg" and "everything is borrowed" back-to-back.😍

That’s about all I remember.🙂 One of the stagehands was handing out those printed setlists—he could've told you the whole thing, but I almost missed out on grabbing one.😢

I actually managed to snag one.😁
It lists an encore, but they never actually played one....

electricorca112 said:Also, just to confirm, Arcade Fire were pretty "bland" and "flavorless." Personally, I don't think it was about "bad sound quality"; some performers are simply worse live than they are on studio recordings, and there's no fixing that. 🤷

They weren't bland. The sound system was just total garbage, so they actually sounded SUPER considering the circumstances. Win really put in the effort and had more than enough connection with the crowd.
Maybe they were just exhausted and lost their spark.
And no. They aren't worse live because they always put on a show and give it their all. They're one of the better bands I've seen—or heard (as much as I could) —live.

It’ll probably be on Last.fm. Maybe.

As for Arcade Fire, they were great for me.
Though they could have been better. And yeah, they could've done an encore. They always come back with Wake Up, but since that was the last one, I figured they wouldn't bring it back anymore.

I was right in the front row and could easily talk over everything; I heard everyone around me. The sound system was a total fail.
Regarding the band members—they all worked hard and seemed totally into it. When Kane went down into the crowd, we acted like typical Americans.
Man, some guy rips his shirt and the guy just bolts back up.
He just wanted a little connection with the audience. 🤷

I just can't
looking at this schedule and that pathetic lineup... there are barely five decent acts on here. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Setting aside who plays when, I'm talking about the festival in general this year.

Honestly, I don't think we'll even see another one next year.

means ticket sales must be killer if they're just giving them away like that.

Man, I'd go to Beirut in a heartbeat.

Come on, I'm off the clock. What's the deal with the people who actually voted? Where the hell is my ticket?

I'm honestly getting tired of all this indie hating.

I couldn't agree more.
Coachella might be the only reason I'd show up too, maybe just to catch Arcade Fire.

Larry Morales12 said:So those are the "prodigies" making all the big promises, huh? 😁

Well, I did say it would happen! Haha, at least one part came true.
The people running Coachella are just total amateurs.

I’m going to be sick from how much I hate this Coachella lineup.
Look, Live Nation usually brings in names like L'Oréal. And it's not like they just announced two decent acts and decided to stick with local talent—they almost always book international headliners who are actually good. Why are they being so incompetent? Seriously. The organizers at Live Nation are actually great people; you see them on Facebook taking suggestions, trying to please everyone, and genuinely acting like they care about making fans happy by booking big names.
But this Coachella lineup? It's a disaster. People are flooding their Facebook comments telling them to just go jump in a lake.
So glad I didn't buy a ticket.

But Kasabian was just so damn free during Coachella. And it wasn't just them either.

Coachella crowd, seriously, what the hell is your problem with people from out of town? 😢

I honestly can't wrap my head around how Beyonce fits into that lineup above.

Gregory Wood41 said:No harm done, they were already in San Francisco before 2009 anyway.🙂

That doesn't matter at all. Even if they were here three days ago.

The point is, someone from their side is definitely reading this, so I'm going to call you all out just like gbest did.

So Arctic Monkeys just announced two shows in Germany. What a shocker—June 20th and 22nd.
Bravo, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Screw you.

Stop playing with my heart here!😲 Why all the secrecy?

...because someone might take my head off!
psst.
Get your tickets by the 14th.

Sometimes I get the feeling you don't actually hang out on this forum much.

But honestly? You're just lurking. Just wait until you hear this news.😁

prodigy 😉

Sure. But not here in the States.
