LOL!

Morgan Palmer2 said:Luka Belani. If you actually read the fine print...
I honestly don't get it—where exactly are they supposed to dig them up from? 🤷
Luka is fine.
Just wait until Cold Snap drops the announcement 😉
Tyler Doyle said:I mean, if only Yeasayer🙂 weren't so pricey
Not even close!
They’ve never actually played a show here. They really should have, if my memory serves me right, but the whole gig got scrapped because they ended up snowed in somewhere mid-flight.
Dear Mastodon... 😁
And that other stuff left over from last year's AIC promo pack.

2001—Tvornica
Back in 2007—if my memory serves me right—we were at Carnegie Hall.
Boogaloo 2011—man, looking back at that whole era feels like staring through a hazy lens. It was one of those years where everything just felt different, you know? Like the energy was shifting right under our feet before we even realized it.
They played at Tvornica twice.
Budweiser isn't our partner anymore.
This thread is a total winner!
If you’re looking to catch some CBS, just head out a week before Coachella in Vienna.

By the way... this is going to be their fourth time performing here in the States.😉
Megan Miller31 said:I just feel like they would’ve had to shell out way more for Chainlink than what they spent on Arcade Fire this year, for instance.
Give it another thought.
Larry Morales12 said:The guy doesn't even know which continent he's on—so why should I care about his grammar? 😁
Yeah, they used to be there back in the day.
If I'm failing at geography, you're failing at basic American English. 😉
Kevin Chavez3 said:I wish they’d at least bring Motorhead😢
Not gonna happen—they're all stuck in the USA.
slypanther5 said:Brooklyn asked for way too much cash and their technical rider is basically a list of impossible demands
The guys from Brooklyn can't handle a changeover in under 50 minutes—that was the absolute deal-breaker. Honestly, the folks over at Green Valley told me so themselves.
Arthur Anderson75 said:Alice in Chains, The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth...
That’s more than enough for me to decide the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is always going to be leagues better than Lollapalooza.
I mean, let's be real—Lollapalooza hasn't booked a single band yet that actually makes me want to show up.
Okay, they did have Manic Street Preachers, but I already saw them performing in Savannah just a year prior.
What about Slayer?
Suicidal Tendencies?
Meshuggah?
Justin Watson36 said:Seriously though, is Coachella actually going to try and go toe-to-toe with Lollapalooza by booking Pulp? From what I’ve gathered, their ticket prices aren't exactly pocket change either—we're talking a solid six-figure sum in dollars...
Anyway, Arcade Fire finally weighed in regarding their upcoming US tour dates 😍
...but honestly, why bother when they can just sell exactly 63 tickets in some random small town out in the Midwest?
frozenbison3 said:Hold on a second—how does a band like System of a Down, who basically built their whole identity on tearing down capitalism, show up at a festival when they were arguably at their peak five or six years ago, over all these trendy new indie hipster outfits that are just hitting their stride?
Look, even RATM plays those kinds of gigs just to collect the paycheck...
Morgan Palmer2 said:Look, I’m not claiming to be some high-level industry insider—heaven forbid I actually go sticking my nose into anyone's business. Everything I know comes straight from the internet, which is more than enough for anyone with even a shred of common sense to dig up.
Is it actually true that Radiohead is only playing at the Roman Colosseum in Korea?
Since they’re always willing to shave a few bucks off their booking fee if you hand them a slightly flashier venue, someone apparently took that to mean they’ll only ever play shows in San Francisco.
fadedsailor932 said:...the band's guitarist...solid enough?
Tomo's been spinning that same yarn for years now. People have asked about it more times than I can count... but just because it's been discussed doesn't mean anything was actually settled.
Henry Mitchell29 said:hmmm...
If my memory serves me right regarding those other stages over the last few years—I think it was the Bud Light stage last time—they used to book all sorts of random bands and acts.
And you’d get these incredibly dull sets that somehow dragged on forever... sometimes pushing close to the two-hour mark.
So, if some random indie band can stomp around and scream for two hours, I don't see why Mars Volta can't be given the time they actually need on that stage.😎🤷 I mean, they could always just stick to the schedule or whatever...
so what's the actual issue here?
They're way too expensive for a gig in the middle of nowhere.
