Past INmusic Festival lineups & sets (Archive)

Tyler Doyle said:Honestly, it’s like people just don't get it, you know? It’s like they’re staring right at the truth and choosing to look the other way, or maybe they're just completely oblivious to the fact that... $100 There’s absolutely no way they’re going to sell out a single ticket now—not after pulling the plug on the biggest headliner on the lineup. I mean, come on, once you lose that main attraction, the whole vibe just evaporates, right? It’s like trying to sell tickets to a movie when you find out the lead actor isn't even showing up to set. You can try to hype up the supporting cast all you want, but the crowd is already walking toward the exit. Once that massive name drops out, the momentum is dead in the water. No one is biting. 😁 But you know how it goes, they’re gonna get caught... give it a week or two at most and the whole thing's gonna blow up in their faces. 😉

Look, I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole if they were asking for anything north of $250. Seriously, at that price point? You're basically throwing money straight into a paper shredder.
Honestly, I can’t stand those absolute scumbags who try to flip tickets at a markup just because they can—and I’m not even talking about the professional scalpers or those bottom-feeding bots, either. I mean the actual vendors and companies that jack up the prices higher than what they originally paid! It’s just straight-up predatory behavior, plain and simple.

I can't even begin to process what you just typed—it looks like someone fell asleep on their keyboard or maybe had one too many shots at a dive bar in Chicago. Seriously, if you’re trying to make a point, you’ve completely missed the mark, or maybe you just forgot how to use an actual language? It’s like staring at a bowl of alphabet soup that someone accidentally spilled on the floor. If this was some kind of secret code, I’m officially out of the loop, but honestly, it just looks like pure gibberish. Can we get some actual words on the screen here? Give me something real to work with! kaže:
I really, truly hope they manage to land someone with actual star power this time around—someone who isn't just a placeholder, but a massive, headline-grabbing name that actually makes people want to clear their schedules.

No way in hell. Honestly, though, their whole definition of what counts as "stronger" is pretty much a total joke compared to how we see things—which, let’s be real, is basically just a fancy way of saying, "Oh my god, give me a break!"

Honestly, they should just book The Rolling Stones and finally give them a decent time slot, you know? It’s about time we stopped treating legendary acts like an afterthought compared to how they've handled things over the last few years.
Honestly, this whole thing just stinks of some desperate attempt at being funny, like one of those low-effort skits you'd see from The Lonely Island.

Aside from that—and this is just my opinion—I find it incredibly distasteful when the organizers themselves sell tickets at a markup compared to their own base price (and I am certainly not talking about the scalpers).

Has anyone actually ever seen the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival selling tickets above face value?😁

I really have to hand it to him

swiftmoose20 said:has anyone actually managed to flip tickets for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at a profit😁

I have to respect him for asking.

🤣🤣🤣 but 😁

The first day is usually the peak anyway. Especially now that Flo Rida isn't on the lineup.
Nutini’s going to be my festival highlight. I’ve actually got pretty high hopes for him. 🎉

Andrew Gomez40 said:Honestly, I wouldn't touch those tickets for more than $250 even if my life depended on it.
Besides, it really ticks me off when those corporate vultures sell tickets at a markup higher than what they actually paid—and don't even get me started on the scalpers.

I mean, $100 it’s not really any more than what most of us already shelled out... and obviously, I'm gonna try to claw back every cent first before I just accept the loss, you know? If that doesn't work, then we'll see. Even $300 is still $17 less than what people are asking for right now.

Man, it’s such a bummer though—not even because of the money, but because of Flo Rida. I’ve been trying to catch him live since 2010 and I can never seem to snag a decent deal, and now this happens. The only other act that would actually make me trek out to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is Imagine Dragons, but let's be real, there's zero chance of that happening.

swiftmoose20 said:Look, they have three days off. After playing Lollapalooza, they could swing by here, and then they'd still have a day to rest before heading to Finland. Who knows? I'm not holding my breath, though—it's the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, after all. If they had intended to come, they would have booked it ages ago.

The band might have three days of downtime, but the crew doesn't. I'd love to see someone try to haul two or three semi-trucks full of gear plus two or three tour buses from here to Finland in just three days. It’s physically impossible. 😁
I think some of you are being totally unrealistic with these demands about bands jumping in whenever there's a gap in a tour schedule. We're already booking acts for the winter season now; that window has long since closed. Honestly, I'm not expecting any massive headliners, though we might get a pleasant surprise.

If Flo Rida drops out, my only real regret is going to be seeing fewer girls at the festival. 😁

so I'm hearing Rudimental is basically the replacement for Flo Rida

Finally got the replacement for Flo Rida. Meh.

High-energy 😬vibes

Hmm, they aren't bad, but I just checked this out... https://www.be-at.tv/brands/dalt-vil...udimental-live

Not exactly thrilled. ☕

It’s fine—if we just keep our expectations low, there's nothing left to do but be pleasantly surprised 😬

Honestly, they’re just one of those one-hit wonders that sounds absolutely nothing like the studio recordings once you actually hear them live. It’s a total letdown.
The whole live show is basically just 🤣 a DJ collective spinning tracks while various guest vocalists jump on stage to sing the songs—which makes me wonder, who on earth is actually going to be there singing them at the concert?

But hey, whatever, I guess the teenagers will just go wild and lose their minds anyway. 😁

So, after Florence Nightingale canceled her performance—which was quite literally the sole reason I decided to buy tickets in the first place—I attempted to process a refund. When I originally purchased them, the single-day pass was priced at $100, which was identical to the cost of the full three-day pass. It felt completely irrational to pay the same amount for just one day, so I opted for the three-day ticket, even though I had absolutely no intention of attending any sets other than Florence Nightingale's. My reasoning was simple: if the price is the same, why not get more days? Well, now I know exactly why. Logically, you cannot claim a refund on a multi-day pass simply because one artist pulls out. Of course, no sane person would choose a single-day ticket over a three-day one when they cost the same, nor would anyone think to scrutinize the fine print on the back of a ticket regarding refunds. So, there lies the answer to why those prices were set identically.
The response I received from Coachella was as follows: "It is standard policy for festivals (not just Coachella, but most major global festivals) that refunds are not issued for three-day passes, as stated both on the website and on the reverse of the ticket. This is a multi-artist festival, not a solo concert."
It is truly disheartening that so much of the business culture in this country seems built on such predatory principles.
Rest assured, Coachella will never see another cent from me, even if they managed to resurrect Jim Morrison himself.

Charging the exact same price for a single day as they do for the whole weekend? That’s just plain idiotic, but hey, I guess you’re happy to be both a sheep and a walking ATM at the same time. You even admitted yourself that you weren't planning on listening to anyone except F+M, yet you went ahead and dropped the cash on a three-day pass anyway. So don't go pointing fingers at them—they were honest with you. It’s a simple "buy it and deal with it" situation.

But seriously, look at any major global festival they love to brag about; none of them have identical pricing for a one-day ticket versus a full weekend pass. I’m telling you, if they actually lowered the cost for single days, they’d move way more tickets and probably end up bringing in even more revenue in the long run. If their entire business model relies on these cheap little tricks to cover themselves when some headliner inevitably cancels, then they’re even more amateur hour than they already seem to be.

Consumer Protection Act - Section 33

(1) A business practice is deemed deceptive if it includes inaccurate information that leads to a falsehood, or if it otherwise—through its overall presentation, even if the specific data points are technically correct—misleads or is likely to mislead an average consumer regarding any of the circumstances outlined in paragraph 2 of this section, thereby inducing them to make a purchase decision they otherwise would not have made.

(2) The circumstances mentioned in paragraph 1 to which deceptive business practices apply include:
4. the price of the product, the method by which that price is calculated, or the existence of a specific benefit relative to the price.

The core issue lies in the fact that most Americans tend to blame themselves for being misled, and as a result, market participants behave with complete impunity.
I will simply report them to the Federal Trade Commission and let some judge attempt to explain to me how I am the one at fault.

(2) The circumstances from paragraph 1 of this section to which a misleading business practice refers are:

The real tragedy here is that most Americans tend to blame themselves when they get ripped off, which is exactly why these market players act with such blatant disregard for ethics.
If I go ahead and report them to the regulatory authorities, I’ll just end up having some judge explain to me how the fault lies entirely with my own poor judgment.

I actually feel a twinge of genuine pity for retailers sometimes, considering the absolute caliber of people they have to deal with on a daily basis... 👎

It’s pretty ridiculous to me that a one-day pass is $100, yet a three-day ticket jumps all the way to 350...

Honestly, I just find it hilarious watching the people who bought a full festival pass just to see one specific act, only for that artist to cancel. Now they're standing around looking completely clueless, wondering why nobody is handing them their money back for the whole weekend.

And look, you can't really blame anyone else—you're on your own here. It says right there in plain English that festival passes are non-refundable. If you don't want it, sell it. Simple as that.

Actually... it also trips me out how nobody seems to care about any of the other performers. Like, at all? Especially since most of the lineup is indie anyway.

Andrew Gomez40 said:Besides, none of the major global festivals they keep mentioning have the same price point for a single day versus a three-day pass. I still maintain that lowering the one-day ticket cost would probably drive more volume and maybe even result in higher total revenue. If they are actually relying on these kinds of cheap gimmicks to hedge against an artist canceling, then they’re honestly even more amateur than they look.

True. 👍

It's a shame the management isn't better... they'd definitely see a much bigger crowd.

I’ll go ahead and report them to the FTC, then let them try explaining to some judge how it’s actually my own fault.

Does it not say right there on the back of the festival pass that there are no refunds? The terms are clearly laid out, so what are you even whining about? You can return a single-day ticket, but not the full festival pass. You did the math, you missed the mark, and now you're acting like everyone else is the problem instead of your own choices.

vividraven7 said:It’s also pretty brainless that a one-day pass is $100, yet three days costs 350...

Honestly, I can't even deal with the people who bought a full pass just for one act, and now that they're gone, they're acting cluelessly shocked that nobody's refunding their money.

And yeah... it's on you. It clearly states right there that passes are non-refundable. Just sell it. Simple as that.

Actually... it also trips me out how nobody cares about any of the other acts. Like, at all? Especially since most of the lineup is indie anyway.

doesn't matter if it's indie 😁 Adele is mainstream, she's on the radio and people actually listen, the rest of these artists suck 😁

As for this whole refund thing, if I were running Coachella, I wouldn't even bother replying to you. What kind of logic are you even running on? 😁
