So the DJ set is limited to a mere two hours?

They’ve gone a bit overboard; there are 50 concerts this year that I would actually want to attend...

Does anyone happen to recall what Moby said prior to "All Star"? Something about this being his only disco track, but I can't quite remember the specifics.

There were a few songs I absolutely loved, but the titles are escaping me right now.
Thanks 🙂

I recall most of them, roughly in this order (though I'm only certain about the first two; the rest are just how I remember them):
Extreme Ways
In My Heart
Porcelain
We Are All Made of Stars
Bodyrock
Why Does My Heart Feel sol bad (sung by the Black singer)
in this World (also sung by her)
Natural blues (this one too)
Raining Again lift me up
Lift Me Up (this was either the last song before the encore or the first one in the encore, right when he mentioned Bush)
Feeling sol real (that was the final song)

There were two or three others I didn't recognize, specifically the ones sung by the other female vocalist (not the Black singer, the other one)

In my estimation, Moby was the highlight, though the set felt far too brief for my liking. As for Garcia, his performance was quite solid, and I fail to see why there is such widespread criticism directed toward him. Cyril was also impressive at the end. I haven't listened to the others.

There is no way security is actually that tight; it’s clearly just a joke. 🙄

I am simply asking where the vulnerabilities are; those of you who have actually been there should know. 😁

I believe your only real shot at swimming across is if you have an inside connection helping you smuggle the goods... or you could try carrying a backpack over your head and changing once you're through... after all, it's an island and that bridge is their only link to the mainland... Alternatively, if you want to make a grand entrance, just rush in and disappear into the crowd...

Can someone who has already parked their car inside tell me what the hourly rate is? It’s somewhat urgent since I’m heading out in two hours... Thanks.

Regarding the concert, Lily—it was fine, but nothing special... The Fear was excellent, actually better than on the CD; Not Fair and Smile were good, but I wasn't familiar with the rest. The atmosphere wasn't particularly intense either, and I was standing right at the front rail... I thought it would be more exciting.
Rihanna - I only heard one song, and it didn't really do much for me; the tracks I listened to on YouTube were superior.
Kraftwerk - OMFG, absolutely incredible. This might sound ridiculous, but I hadn't even heard of them before the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and I didn't know a single song (I actually recognized one during the set, though I didn't realize it was theirs), but it was simply brilliant. There were quite a few songs that I loved, which is rare for me, especially given how "unconventional" their music is. Their performance was superb; the four of them behind their laptops was simple yet effective.
yyy - I listened to a few tracks between Kraftwerk and FF; I heard Zero, which was the only thing that caught my interest. 🙂
FF - They were great; they clearly put in a lot of effort, learned quite a few American phrases, and had fantastic rapport with the crowd, which truly surprised me. My only grievance is that they played their biggest hits right at the start (Matinee, Walk Away, Do You Want To, Take Me Out). The set lasted an hour, followed by another thirty minutes, lol. Overall, they were excellent.

Carol Young3 said:Ehh, if only I could make it happen; my ideal schedule is perfectly laid out. 😍 I'd hit YYYs first, grab a quick bite, catch Lily Allen, and then head over to Franz Ferdinand—all in a single day. Ahhh, sweet dreams...

That is going to be a difficult feat to pull off, considering Lily Allen plays first, followed by YYYs, which overlap directly with FF.

Me? Everything they play is already on YouTube. I have no way of determining which tracks are their biggest hits or which ones they actually intend to perform.

I purchased tickets solely to see Moby; I am largely unfamiliar with the rest of the lineup. Since I will already be attending, it would be illogical to miss the other performances, so I am requesting recommendations for the most essential or famous tracks—specifically those they are certain to play—from Lily Allen, FF, Kraftwerk, yyy, Editors, and N.E.R.D, so that I may familiarize myself with them. Furthermore, if there are other artists on the bill worth seeing, please provide those suggestions as well.

Does anyone have any idea what the Moby setlist might look like? Will he be playing tracks from his albums (All of the Lights, Harbor, Natural Blues, Porcelain, Forever, Disco Lies...), or is it going to feel more like a techno party?

Dana Robinson7 said:That is precisely my point; Gary Baker3 suggested it might actually happen. :/

It wasn't "she," it was "he."😁

These are merely my own aspirations, and I am fully aware that it likely won't materialize—especially regarding Springsteen—but since both he and The Prodigy have new albums and tours scheduled during that window, I thought it would be incredible if they made an appearance.

Dana Robinson7 said:What do you mean by The Prodigy? Is that just speculation or wishful thinking on your part?

My own wishful thinking.

I am aware they performed last year (when I was unable to attend😢), yet that provides no logical basis to assume they won't return this year, especially considering their tour schedule aligns perfectly with that timeframe...

I suspect they will turn out to be nothing more than one of those amateur demo bands.

During The 20/20, we should expect to see The Prodigy, Bruce Springsteen, and SXSW as well, if all goes according to plan.

If you happen to be a Verizon customer, you get a discount $17, but if you aren't, you should just find a friend who is and have them buy the ticket for you...

Jacob Young2 said:Wait, when was it actually $250? 😕

Anyway, I’m going to attempt some sort of scheme involving my sister’s GPA just to scrape together enough for a ticket to $83 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 😍 because paying full price feels excessive $150 (and I'm broke) 😬

$83 It ended on March 9th.
