First off, some critiques: I wasn't really feeling the organization of this festival... hosting an event like this in the middle of the week?? Look, I get that people travel from outside the city, but honestly, who’s actually going to make that effort during a work week? Besides, while having a VIP section doesn't exactly stop the weather from turning, for heaven's sake, couldn't they have done something for the regular folks who paid full price for their tickets? People traveled from all over—myself included—and instead of handing out a damn poncho at the gate, they just let the rain ruin everything right in the middle of the set. And the Bud Light—is that a joke or what?🤷🤷 It was basically water with three drops of beer mixed in... absolutely embarrassing. On top of that, you can't even bring your own drinks inside, so you're just standing there in fear, waiting for the inevitable moment you'll lose it because you're dehydrated!!!🙂

Anyway, I only went for the first day, and the sole reason I even bothered showing up was Nick Cave. I'm a little disappointed that the concert felt like one big promotional tool for the new album, but man, the performance itself was incredible. When Nick started jumping around with his guitar... wow. You could feel it in your bones. All in all, I'm genuinely happy I got to hear him live one more time.😍Personally, I preferred the vibe back when things were held at places like the Kennedy Center; it felt much more intimate and the connection with the audience was spot on... he even danced with a woman from the crowd

Now, I'm feeling a bit 🙂🙂🙂 because my camera decided to quit on me. Even though I managed to fight my way to the very front row, I don't have a single photo to show for it. To all the sweet souls who were snapping pictures up front, please, could you upload a few shots... PLEASE

It feels like they're stuck in a loop, clinging to the same old names while ignoring all the incredible, genre-bending talent that doesn't fit into a neat little box. ☕

Hellou !! How is it possible that none of you realized this was an NBC & TBS production? Honestly, everyone seems to be completely misinformed here. It’s already been settled: the first day is TBS, and the second day features Grinderman.🤣😍

Two years ago at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the lineup was absolutely legendary, but last year? Honestly, I couldn't find anything that really grabbed my attention. And don't even get me started on Laibach live—it was a total disaster. Like, seriously, why wouldn't they just bring back the magic again?? frrrrr

🙂 Man, I don't know about that...😍 though I suppose they could pull it off if they played both days.
