Coachella 2016

[AThirteen]

Just got my tickets for weekend 1 next year.

Anyone else here?

[iamthehorn]

I'm going weekend 2. 

 

Couple confirmed artists so far:

 

Black Coffee
Dubfire
Gary Clark Jr.
Lost Frequencies

[Bort]

Rumored headliners are LCD Soundsystem, Guns N Roses, Calvin Harris.

[brayshizzle]

Yes going again this year. Weekend 2.

LCD I will believe when I see it. GNR I think has been booked but really doubt it for some reason. Unless its a huge payday but axel will probably flop it. Calvin will play but I dont think as headliner. I can see him closing the main stage on friday or saaturday after the headliner

I'm planning on going to Coachella in 2017, how easy is it to get tickets?  There'll be 10 of us going and I think I'm right in saying you can only get them in batches of 2?

It's not easy, very much a refresh system like Glasto. Wkend 1 went stupidly quick the year I went, within like 10 mins easily, got wkend 2 after 20/25 mins but by half hour they were gone.

I can't remember how many but there was only two of us that went. I'd try Bonnaroo if I did another one there.

Yeah you're going to struggle getting 10 tickets, law of averages would show at a least a couple will miss out, how much do you like your friends? Haha 

[jadel74]

Yeah, getting 10 is going to be tough.

The Calvin Harris headliner rumor has been debunked. Some other confirmations have come in though. St Germaine, Jean Michael Jarre. Savages looks likely based on a recent tour date announcement, as do Twenty One Pilots.

getting them will be hard. always is. for some reason people love weekend 1 .....i prefer weekend 2 which is typically easier to get to. the grass is gone by then and some suprises are revealed but its a better vibe and more relaxed. the phrase someone used which i liked was "wk1 is for the paps and celebs...wk2 is for the music fans" 

last year it seemed easy to get tickets online (reddit and coach forum) at face value. 

my advice, aim for weekend 2, get as many as you can but dont stress because the january more will go on sale and as i said, there will be some on sale online.

getting a bit hyped now. getting into rumor season, bands tours are getting released and speculation is kicking in.

[AThirteen]

I managed to pick up a couple of tickets for weekend one back in the earlybird sale. My mate who is going as part of a larger group managed to get 8. I think we were lucky as sold out minutes later. Was a queue system rather than refreshing.

So the USA will get it tomorrow evening and we'll see it Wed am depending what time  you're up until or get up haha.

The show Axl is on airs 4:30am UK time.

[rzwodezwo]

That's a lot of bullshit, but also quite some quality acts. Seeing Sufjan so high on the poster is just beautiful

[kingcrawler]

Yeah, I generally find Coachella is a bit like that as well. A Friday of LCD Soundsystem, M83, Sufjan Stevens, Foals, Last Shadow Puppets, Savages, Of Monsters & Men, Haelos and George Fitzgerald would be fantastic but there's only a handful of acts on the other days I'd be really interested in.

When your worst day has Beach House, Deafheaven, Death Grips etc. then you know you doing something aight as a festival. Seems a much better undercard than recent EDM laden years.

[DDave]

The Sunday is gash.

[lightning1000]

Miike snow is still a thing? And sia is playing live again?

[dentalplan]

So Axl has pulled out of that Kimmel appearance. Start as you mean to go on...

I'd see Wolf Alice, Adam Beyer and Rancid. The point Rancid have agreed to this bigger fest gives some belief for a bigger UK fest. I don't know of any heavier/punky act though to do Coachella and turn up at Download (I may have missed one) whereas the crossover with R&L is more so and Groezrock being as early as it is has given acts plenty of gap and return for it. I did say a while back, the lack of Rancid announcement in any extra RAR announcement and other early Euro fests was unconvincing.

[yaniv297]

Weird lineup, some really differences in quality there. Expected better from them. 

Also, isn't it a bit weird seeing LCD as headliners? I mean, their last tour they were second or third billed, and they haven't done anything since. Just because it's a reunion? I like them a lot, but they haven't really got a lot of mainstream festival hits. Surely not like the other headliners.

What is going on when Ellie Goulding is subbing Coachella pls. She must have Jake Bugg's booking agent. Fair play The 1975 getting themselves a tidy slot though.

Beach House, Death Grips, Baauer, Wolf Alice, Kamasi, Young Fathers. Looks pretty decent to me.

Saturday is the least appealing day for my tastes.

Indeed, and you have people saying she wouldn't sub in England when she plays next.
