Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (Archive)

"Deeply" is such a great word.

Just like those cheap knockoff watches and frozen dinners you find at a gas station.

You can find the statistics from their 2007 shows right here.

I don't know if anyone else brought this up yet, but... Albert Lee.
Honestly, Hendrix might want to watch his back.

Here’s the stats from the 2007 shows.

Thanx! 👍

That’s such a beautiful way to put it. Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I’d just gift the ticket to Drew Nguyen47 right now, or at least sell it to them... because let’s be real, without Drew Nguyen47, that $83 show just won't be the same 🙂

What an incredible hourly rate 🙏 🙏 🙏

how long can the Happy Mondays even last? i feel like they can barely stay upright for thirty minutes 🤔

eventually paradise is gonna be such a blast that everyone will just ditch the Stooges, and these guys will probably drag their set out forever just to keep the crowd from leaving...

Are we seriously seeing some kind of overlapping mess between the staccato beats and the exclamation points here!?!? 🙂

Fortunately, I've never been much of a fan of applause 😬

Are they playing Happy Mondays? If not, then it just isn't the same thing.

Man, I’d be so stoked if someone could just swap out those old clips and timers for some Flying Sarans and Hold Steady 😳

Also, would it be too much to ask for someone to redesign the table and actually organize the timeline properly on the site? :S 🙏 S🙏 .S:S:

Maria Campbell67 said:The way the staccato beats and those sudden exclamations overlap is just... wow! 🙂

😠 It’s enough to drive you crazy. Honestly, it reminds me of both Sonic Youth and the Dolls. 🙂

TimeTable was put together by some absolute moron 🙏

Goddammit... 😠

Based on what I’m seeing here, this entire lineup was probably put together by some clueless intern over at the VIP marketing department—someone who was likely handed a list of headliners and told, "Make sure there's one of these per stage," and then left to wander aimlessly. Honestly, the actual set times don't even matter anymore; who actually cares about scheduling when the organizers are busy handing out handfuls of free tickets to their buddies while regular people are stuck paying full price like suckers? 😵

To put it bluntly, I'm just echoing what El Rode said:
Goddammit, they can all go to hell 😠

... yeah, they're playing Franz Ferdinand 😁

I am totally with you on this—scheduling SY right on top of New Year's Eve is just asking for trouble...

The organizer stated:

"We barely managed to secure a permit allowing our outdoor stages to run for 24 hours straight, since the standard limit is usually midnight, which would have made everything line up perfectly. Given that the headliners insist on playing their sets last, there is simply no way to prevent some scheduling overlaps. Besides, there are plenty of festivals featuring two live stages where headliner times clash—take Frequency Fest, for example, with Franz Ferdinand and Belle & Sebastian. Honestly, without the support of VIP and Apple, we wouldn't even have a festival in America where overlapping acts are an option at all..."

"We barely secured the permit to run our outdoor stages until midnight; normally, the limit is 11 PM, which would have made the scheduling work perfectly. But since the headliners insist on playing last, overlapping sets are simply unavoidable. Besides, there are plenty of festivals with two live stages where headliner times overlap—take Frequency Fest, for example, with Franz Ferdinand and Belle & Sebastian. We really owe the existence of an American festival where acts overlap to VIP sponsors and Apple..."

Bullshit.
Forget those "contributions."
If they just cut out the mediocre bands, nothing would need to overlap... 😎
I don't care about "other festivals"... if I'm paying for this one, I want to hear everything I came for.
Have they never heard of tents? I doubt headliners would complain about playing their final set on the main outdoor stage and then jamming through their hits in an indoor tent...
