I knew someone was going to take that the wrong way, though I suppose I didn't exactly frame it in the most graceful manner. 😵 I wasn't exactly looking for pure aggression when I decided to catch their show, but you really can't deny that Korn brings a certain intensity that's hard to match; then again, whenever my mind drifts toward truly heavy hitters, I find myself thinking of bands like Down, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, or Motörhead. People love to complain about the ticket prices being astronomical, but at least in recent years, festivals like Lollapalooza managed to book a few acts with some actual grit, whereas this year's lineup feels a bit thin—though I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see if the situation improves. 🤷

I don't have anything against indie bands—I actually enjoy listening to a few of them—but let’s be real, none of those acts are going to be headlining the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year, and when it comes to the heavy hitters, the festival lineup has been a bit of a letdown so far. I know there's still time for them to drop some harder names, but since they already announced that Korn and 30 Seconds to Mars are coming to Washington, D.C. this June, I think I'll just skip Coachella this time around; if I can swing it financially, I'll definitely hit one of those shows, and maybe even both.

Frank Anderson9 said:Sure, the indie acts are great and all... but Coachella isn't strictly an indie festival, so it would be nice if they actually booked some variety, maybe something heavier like Skindred, Rise Against, or even the Foo Fighters.

I'm with you on that.👍
