Coachella 2012

so the 2012 line up has been released:

personally I think the line-up is pretty darned good (especially with reunited @ the Drive and Refused playing?!)

What is INCREDIBLY lame is it stretched out over 2 weekends this year?

Regardless, I would NEVER go (I do have friends that go every year though). There are MANY bands I'd like to see, but not in that venue... not at that price.

 

[Anubis]

wow! band on there i would actually pay to see, this is a 100% improvement from previous years

I like the Saturday and Sunday lineups.
I'm like you though I will probably never go, the Indio / Palm Springs area is just too small to cram all of the people that go there for the festival.

I don't believe it's stretched over two weekends. It's the same show each weekend.

It's just giving more people an opportunity to go see all those bands/acts if they can't make the first weekend.

So each band is playing twice then? I mean obviously this makes more sense... but still is kinda lame.

Admittedly I have not dug around to find the exact answer to it...

Yes, I believe so. So, the Black Keys will play April 13th and 20th.

LOL. Looks like a corporate event instead of the indie/anti establishment event hipsters like to prevent it is.

Coachella and Burning Man.......

 

[alien42]

that's a great lineup, better than when i went in 2007.

M. Ward? Nice.

I should go one of these years. Both my Father-In-Law and Mother-In-Law own vacation homes in Rancho Mirage that we can stay in pretty much whenever we want (as long as it is available-meaning when they aren't out there). April is freaking beautiful there.

Never been. Are there multiple stages or one big stage and that's the lineup? Florence/Machine is going on right before Justice and Drive-In? Dear Florence, prepare to be pelted with dirt and garbage.
Apparently, I'm getting old. Not much there I want to see. I am surprised to see Grace Potter so far down the list on her day.
