The next headliner for Coachella has been officially confirmed 🙂

But they didn't actually say who it is yet. Classic move, right? xD

But honestly, it feels like just another mediocre year for indie music, nothing to write home about.

I hope those "insider tips" of yours turn out to be pure gold and actually come true for once.😁 😂 😲

Just a quick heads-up for anyone looking to grab tickets, I went ahead and picked mine up today using my student discount, and just so you know, the clerk asked to see my state ID and my student card before typing some details into the system; the ticket itself looks totally standard regardless of the discount applied, but it seems like they’re keeping a digital paper trail of exactly who is using the student rate 😁
so if you want to save some cash, maybe leave those students or high schoolers at home who aren't actually planning on showing up 🙂 cheers!

You can use those school verification documents until April 14th, but you'll have to track down the paperwork at your high school or college and show some ID. If you do that, you can snag a day pass for $97, and if you happen to be a T-Mobile customer, the price drops to 240 👍

They won't let you stack discounts, 😁
it's an all-or-nothing deal—either you use the student discount or the T-Mobile one, but you can't have both, which is just such a massive bummer.😛

Aaron Palmer75 said:Does anyone actually have a clue how the whole school certification process works? I feel like I'm wandering through some sort of bureaucratic labyrinth where the walls just keep shifting every time you think you've found an exit. It’s all so incredibly opaque, isn't it? One minute you think you've got your paperwork sorted, and the next, you're staring at a mountain of red tape that feels more complicated than trying to navigate rush hour traffic in downtown Chicago. Honestly, does anyone have any actual insight into how one goes about getting these things finalized without losing their mind in the process? 🤔
Is there actually any point in showing up, or is it just going to be a massive waste of time? 😳

It’s basically the exact same deal as that paperwork you have to deal with for health insurance—just another bureaucratic hoop to jump through. You fill out the form, hand it over to the school administration office, and they give you the official stamp confirming you’re actually a student there. When I went through it, the clerk actually had the nerve to ask me what the hell I needed the certification for in the first place, so I had to scribble "for purchasing concert tickets" on the line just to satisfy their endless curiosity. It's all just part of the same tedious dance.
So, I went down to the Target in downtown Chicago earlier, and honestly, the whole interaction was just bizarre—I'm telling you, nothing about it made any sense. This woman behind the counter didn't even bother asking for a receipt, a digital confirmation, or some kind of ID to verify anything; she didn't say a single word about documentation. She just took my student ID, glanced at it, and that was that. It felt like one of those weirdly seamless moments that shouldn't happen in this day and age, you know? Like, where's the bureaucracy? Where's the red tape? Anyway, give it a shot yourself and see if you run into the same kind of surreal experience. 😁

And yeah, honestly, when you really stop to think about it... 👍👍👍 So, looking back at that whole list of bands you just threw out there... it’s kind of like staring at a massive, sprawling map of everything we've ever loved and lost in the music scene. It’s a lot to process when you lay them all out like that, isn't it? You've got those heavy hitters like the Foo Fighters just standing there, solid as a rock, while you're drifting through the indie vibes of Band of Horses or getting caught up in the sharp, jagged edges of The Strokes. It's a wild spectrum, really—one minute you're vibing to the atmospheric, almost haunting layers of Portishead or the cerebral, moody depths of Radiohead, and the next, you're ready to jump around to the raw energy of Gogol Bordello. It’s like moving from a quiet, rainy afternoon in Seattle to a chaotic, sweat-soaked night at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival without even blinking. You've got the Arctic Monkeys bringing that punchy, rhythmic swagger, then you pivot to the quirky, storytelling grit of the Eels, or that driving, anthemic feeling you get from the Foo Fighters. It’s a massive, beautiful mess of genres, much like life itself, where you're constantly shifting between wanting something deep and intellectual and just needing something loud enough to drown out the rest of the world. 😉

That photo is absolutely killer 👍

I'm with you there 👍
Honestly, I can practically feel two of those hands myself because those shows were just unreal 😁
Looking back at the big picture, it’s kind of a bummer that I only dropped $83, especially considering I caught so many legendary acts I'd been dying to see—stuff like Rise Against, Pendulum, Flogging Molly, just the absolute cream of the crop 😁

Nicole Newman4 said:Hey everyone,

does anyone happen to know if I can actually sell a ticket that was bought at that discounted student rate from $97, you know, like if they’re going to be doing any kind of heavy checking at the gates? I remember some guy at the T-Mobile US booth back then was being all intense and asking to see an ID and everything. Anyway, if it turns out it's fine to sell it, I've got one pass available for $97 covering all three days—just shoot me a DM if you're interested.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters how you snagged the ticket, as long as you're holding it in your hand when you walk up. I did the exact same thing myself, and no one ever asked me for an ID or anything like that; I had the identical pass to my buddy who paid full price without any discounts, so I'm pretty sure you won't run into any trouble.👍

I’m absolutely glued to the Budweiser stage 😁 at least I won't have any overlapping sets to worry about
Every single year, the lineup is going to be a hit for some people and a total miss for others—that's just how the music industry rolls, isn't it? You can't please everyone, and frankly, I don't think anyone can. Personally, I feel like I've run out of things to complain about this year. This lineup is actually incredible ^^

Man, what a lineup. It’s such a massive shame I won't be there, even if the venue is a bit of a trek from where I am—and don't even get me started on those ticket prices, because honestly, it's enough to make you weep 😁
damn, the odds of me actually making it are basically zero!

Rebecca Fowler14 said:I’d tell management 😳😳

👍 I'm totally with you there!

Honestly, looking at the lineup they've dropped for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival so far, I'm pretty digging it, but I can't help feeling like it's missing just one more heavy hitter—just one more band to really push it over the edge and make me feel 100% satisfied with the whole thing. :P

Dennis Lee87 said:Man, if they actually announce someone decent tomorrow, it would make for a legendary Monday, 🙂

I'm right there with you, 😁

Personally, I've been holding out hope for names like The Killers, Muse, Kings of Leon, or maybe OneRepublic...
though honestly, seeing that Rise Against news just lit a spark in me; I'll probably be grabbing my tickets pretty soon. 🙂

I’ve gotta say, Law Abiding Citizen is a total knockout, honestly a fantastic ride right up until those final ten minutes when it just falls off a cliff into that typical Hollywood cliché ending we've all seen a thousand times before. 👎
