fred quimby Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) So, to summarise the thread and give my conclusion. The 2 festivals do not compare at all. They have some comparable elements like they both have music and people generally have a good time. Otherwise they are a different type of festival catering for different sets of people, maybe cultural. Neither better than the other just different which is great. Bit like my Auntie Pat and Auntie Shelia. Very different people and experience to be around. But both fucking lovely Edited April 13, 2023 by fred quimby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesundayroast Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Just got seemingly very in securing a Jai Paul record so getting ridiculously excited for his first live set, looks like it's going to be an early wake up on Monday morning for that!

Suprefan Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Get your Do Lab on with special guests James Blake, Odesza and others. But clearly they cater to nobody ever. Edited April 13, 2023 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On The Blend Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 This thread was an absolute romp, really improved my train journey. I do think the fact that 2/3 of Coachella’s headliners aren’t exclusively English language artists is super interesting. Very indicative of how increasingly hybridised and decreasingly Anglo-centric the mainstream is becoming. Also that map with the prioritised car camping should be on the money under ‘In God We Trust’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko45 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Some odd folk about getting tribal and militant about a festival. It wont be for everyone, but it looks like it'll be amazing for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely unconvinced that Supre isn't some kind of AI bot. Not one of the modern ones like ChatGPT or Bard, obviously. But some earlier prototype before they added the ability to recognise context and nuance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
