The new album is honestly great.

Maybe she went a little overboard with the complaints—especially that whole thing about the Wi-Fi, which honestly doesn't matter to most people. But then again, I guess it is kind of ridiculous if a major telecom company is sponsoring the festival and they still can't get basic connectivity working, right?

Up until this year, Coachella basically had zero real competition... but we'll see how things play out now that more and more serious festivals are popping up every single year. I don't wish for them to go under or anything, but I do hope they get a reality check—maybe even a painful one—so they finally start respecting their fans and their +$100.

tucked into their sets...

Are you thinking of Flying Lotus? If so, I honestly don't get why people bother using full names when giving recommendations—especially for someone who should be easily searchable on Google, Facebook, or Last.fm... just saying 🤷

Kenneth Williams60 said:Look, I think AF is great, really—but they aren't exactly my favorite band out there right now. There are definitely a few others with more substance if you ask me... though, when you put them next to that weird, almost second-rate group called Animal Collective, I guess it makes sense why everyone puts them on a pedestal.

Man, you're totally comparing apples to oranges here.

I don't think it's even worth questioning whether the music defines the crowd you attract to your cafe—the real question is, who are you actually aiming for?

Personally, I would never play David Guetta, Armand van Helden, or that whole crew they blast in those cheap, bottom-tier clubs...

More like Moby, The Smiths, Erykah Badu, Gorillaz, Bonobo...

Honestly, if you want to handle the evening rush without any stress, just hire a DJ and call it a day...

Good luck with the business!

la ROUX... man, what a name—and what a performer, too😂

Exactly! 🤷

feraltrucker5 said:I'm just not feeling AF, The White Stripes, Daft Punk, or Wu-Tang Clan. 😛 That’s really where I’m at—I’m looking for more of a punk or metal vibe. Since that's not happening, I guess I'll just keep venting about how this year's lineup is a total letdown... 😬

Austin isn't exactly a world away from NYC 🤷

and luckily for you, the US is pretty much packed with punk and metal festivals all summer long...

Larry Morales12 said:Terraneo is dropping their new lineup on May 5th... honestly, they’ll probably have more confirmed acts by then than those clowns over at T-Mobile. It's wild how disorganized they are—just completely messing with people's heads.

Man, Terraneo has already started stealing their crowd...

Emily Palmer5 said:I'm dealing with the exact same thing—just constant congestion. I've got an appointment with an ENT in a couple of days with all my test results, so I guess we'll see what they have to say about it.

Well, definitely let us know how it goes... I really need to get checked out too, but I just haven't been able to find the time lately...

One nostril stays pretty much stuffed up all year long... I honestly can't remember what it feels like to have both sides clear at the same time.

A few years back, I went in for some allergy testing and found out I'm allergic to pollen, ragweed, and dust. As far as I know, the ragweed doesn't really kick in until summer, but the pollen is definitely hitting me right now. It’s just awful—my nose is totally blocked and I can barely breathe...

I've tried plenty of nasal sprays and ointments, but nothing seems to work—it's like my nose is just constantly full of mucus regardless of what I do. Does anyone know of any over-the-counter meds that actually help?

Arcade Fire

Grinderman
Cypress Hill
TV on the Radio
Mastodon
Jello Biafra and The Ramones

It would be great if someone could just add this to the original post...

I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to edit my very first post—so you'll probably have to wait for one of the mods to step in and fix it. 🤷

Man, Annie Mac... it feels like the Americans are totally taking over the coastlines—they're going to pull off festivals so massive they'll leave us completely floored... if we aren't already...

If this is already out there, just ignore me, but if not: http://www.myspace.com/tvotr

The event listing says they're hitting New York City on June 22nd...👍

Arthur Anderson75 said:Apple Music isn't the only one capable of bringing them over to the States.

Finally, someone said something sensible... honestly, people, there are still so many festivals out there you haven't even heard of. Just hang in there—you might just get a pleasant surprise very soon... MAYBE.

Gregory Long70 said:Alright, I don't really get those comments saying "we have two headliners, so there won't be anything else." 🙄

The year before last, we had Kraftwerk, Moby, and Franz Ferdinand...
And last year was Massive Attack, The Flaming Lips, Billy Idol, and Alice in Chains...

That’s actually what I wanted to ask... 🤷

You forgot to mention LCD Soundsystem, !!!, Caribou, Flogging Molly, Pendulum... all of those are huge bands, even if they aren't the main headliners.

As for Mars Volta—it would be incredible if they played right before Grinderman... maybe Mars Volta at 9 PM, then Grinderman at 11 PM. Man...

Justin Wells3 said:I was just thinking about this... Mars Volta is finishing up a new album as we speak...
Personally, I think they’d be an absolute hit at Coachella... what do you guys think? Does anyone remember when they played in New York City back in 2004, or maybe around then?

That would be awesome!

Larry Cooper40 said:I'm still pretty happy about seeing Portishead too... 😁

Exactly my thoughts! 👍

gentlegull93 said:The main point of my previous post was that things change—it's all about updates. Besides, why even start a thread this early before any news has actually dropped? Were you just looking to be the one to kick things off? 🤷

Look, we're just here to swap thoughts on the lineup and the setlists once they're out. If it’s easier for you to come here and act like a jerk than to just head over to the festival website and see who's playing with a single click, then I really have nothing to say to you... 🙏

gentlegull93 said:It would be much better if the original post was just updated with the latest news—rather than starting a whole new thread about this:

...and then leaving it hanging, forcing me to scroll through every single reply just to find out what happened. I honestly don't have the time or the energy for that. ☕

If I were running things around here, nobody would ever show up because I’d be trying to keep everyone in line all the time! 🙂 🤣

P.S. No offense intended, Kenneth Rodriguez58

Look, this was posted before any actual info about the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was released—how was I supposed to know who, what, where, or when!?

northerntrucker2 said:The radar was also canceled due to the recession last year, but I got the feeling that as a festival, it's pretty much finished... whereas with Rokaj, I just gathered they won't be organizing anything in 2010.
maybe you're talking about that Burning Man thing?

Either way, you're mentioning Roots, Kenneth Rodriguez58?! 😍

Who knows what's going to happen with Rokajfest. 🤷

The thing about Roots is just my own assumption—and as for the Foo Fighters, the last time I heard anything about them here, there was some talk about them being in negotiations...
