I guess I might be a little late to the party on this one, but I was just thinking about how much I love the energy at events like Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It’s funny how certain vibes just stick with you, isn't it? Maybe it's just me, but there's something so incredibly uplifting about being part of that crowd. kaže: I guess Billy Idol and Pendulum might actually go together pretty well, maybe. 🙂
I guess that worried me right away too, honestly. I might just have to go in there and give them hell. 😢
quietcobra said:I feel like I’ve heard of most of the headliners and those international bands, though I don't really know much about Alice in Chains or The Flaming Lips, other than knowing their singer did a guest spot on a Chemical Brothers track 😁 ) I listened to a little bit of Massive Attack recently, but I guess if I actually wanted to hear them, I probably would have gone to see them live about six months ago. Morcheba is alright, but I think you might fall asleep if you listen to them for too long. Now, Audio Bullys sounds like something I could actually get into, and I suppose LCD has one good song, but that's about it ☕ Idol has one decent track (at least according to what they said at Coachella), and Chk Chk Chk has one good song too, though that was just a remix so it might not count for much, etc., etc., etc...
Maybe give Rise Against a listen, and if they aren't your thing, I guess Flogging Molly is a guaranteed good time. I went to their show last year and it was honestly one of the best festivals I've ever been to

Kyle Jackson54 said:I don't really think it's all that bad, honestly. Like, I have a buddy working a minimum wage job making maybe $700 an hour, and I guess you have to wonder if it's really fair to expect someone to drop more than 10% of their paycheck just to see a band they truly love. I mean, who's going to cover his rent and utilities after that? It feels a bit harsh to go after people who are basically just college students living in a big city or anyone else struggling with tight budgets. I guess he should try to make it work, and I truly wish him the best, but maybe before jumping to those desperate measures, he could try being a little more strategic with entering sweepstakes or something—who knows, maybe that might help out before things get too extreme.
Yeah, I get where you're coming from, and I suppose the situation is pretty rough, maybe even a disaster. But personally, if there's a band I absolutely, desperately want to see, I'll probably find a way to scrape some cash together for a ticket, and then I'll just stay in for two or three months straight since I never know when I'll actually get another chance to see them.

Maybe I'll just make my own wristband and try to sneak around somewhere or something.🤷 If that doesn't work, I might just swim across and hide in the bushes.
🙏🙏🙏
I suppose if you're feeling stingy about $83 for a band you actually want to see, then that's kind of sad, I guess. And even if they were to hold a solo concert here in the States, I'm pretty sure the price would end up being exactly the same.
I guess it all just comes down to personal taste! I’ve always got a little something for me every day, so honestly, I think the lineup looks pretty great so far For the first day, to be fair, I'm definitely hitting up Kawasaki 3P. On day two, I'll probably catch Billy Idol and Rise Against. Then on the third day, I might check out Flogging Molly, Pendulum, Dubioza, Skindred, and Massive Attack.
So yeah, it's looking more than good enough for me👍
Emily Miller73 said:Can someone please tell me when the idol is performing?? I have a big exam on the 22nd and I won't be able to hit the road toward the city until around 5 PM, which is probably about a four-hour drive, so I'm kind of lost here. 😕😕
I'm guessing Billy is the headliner for the first night, so maybe Dost won't be playing until pretty late, like 10 PM? That's just my hunch, anyway, though I guess nobody really knows for sure yet.
quietcobra said:I’m honestly so confused by their website, because I don't see any of those dates you mentioned, and there isn't even a mention of Kiril in the lineup... I guess I'm wondering where you actually saw Kiril listed
The festival pages don't really show a schedule, but if you happen to check out the individual bands' sites, everything seems pretty clear, and I think Kiril posted on Facebook that he'll be performing
June 22nd Billy Idol Rise Against LCD Soundsystem Morcheeba The Bambi Molesters Audio Bullys
June 23rd Massive Attack Martin Terefe Flogging Molly Pendulum Dubioza Kolektiv Broken Social Scene Kiril Dzajkovski Caribou Skindred New Young Pony Club
For The Flaming Lips and... well, I guess there isn't any info out yet!!!
I mean, everyone already knows what to expect from Kiril Dzajkovski, I guess. What I'm actually wondering about is who these zero-day people are, if that's even too much to ask?
