Title: Coachella 2019
Post by: MadPooter on Jan 03, 2019, 18:11
Anyone thinking about going to Coachella this year?

(https://d3fleylqcscvy8.cloudfront.net/uploads/coa-2019-2400x3200-v5-1080x1440.jpg)

I'm seriously considering it.

Saturday - Four Tet, Aphex Twin, Tame Impala :D

Sunday - Jon Hopkins, Cirez D

Anyone else?

I have very little interest in this lineup, but Aphex Twin gigs are sooo rare they are difficult to watch pass up.

I saw him in 2008 and it was a part of my favorite Coachella I have ever attended. Great weather, extremely rare acts across the weekend, low attendance, and attendees were attuned to the purpose of the festival.

Kraftwerk->Portishead->Prince

It was glorious

This "news" gets recycled every year the lineup is released. I'm happy it's making the rounds, but I don't hold it against musical artists that play the festival, or for those that want to attend the festival.

The Chemical Brothers have events promoted both in UK and US by Goldenvoice, who is an offshoot of AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group), for this year.

I don't know what it means to be truly politically active these days.

Political motivation is something I don't understand anymore. This particular call for action is pretty stale, though. Not to mention attenuated.

I can probably "afford" going, but it costs way too much money for my blood

Was anyone expecting the brothers to be going to this?
