Coachella Music Festival 2005

Anyone going to this?

I really, really wanted to go but due to the cost of hotels, flying, tickets and everything else, my plans fell through. Still got a back up plan so all isn't lost.

Costs WAY too much, and is the weekend before finals. Might go to SXSW

Price is a ***** man. This year it is probably gonna rule also.

Coachella is a life goal of mine.

$152...I can't afford that on top of hotels and food.

I'd have to pay for a plane flight also. Sucks.

Always seems like the ultimate music festival.

Oh yeah, I was just gonna drive the 1000 miles out there if I could. Though it all depends on who's playing.

Who's playing there?

Coachella? 😕
Am I THAT out of touch?

Tool have played before, NIN allegedly this year. Being that NIN, Weezer, Audioslave and Tool all have albums out I would say it's possible one of them will play. Or one of the other heavyweights putting out an album. That's just headlining.

-AC

Would Slipknot be there, they released an album this year?

Possibly. Who knows? I'd definately say it's possible.

Tickets are on sale but for some reason there's no Line Up.

-AC

When is it?

April 31st-May 1st.

-AC

Where is it?

Coachella, CA.

Last year, The Pixies, Radiohead, Beck and The Flaming Lips performed (among others).

Weezer actually might perform, they will finish the album soon (the first single comes out in march). I don't think Slipknot will play, they haven't had that sort of music in the past. Beck might perform again, QOTSA has a new album...But i think some of the other artists won't be far enough along in their recording to play, unless they just play old stuff.

Though it would be awesome if THe Postal Service played (won't happen).

This doesn't make me feel any better about missing Coachella 05 🙁.

Watch, I'll bet that the line-up is gonna be some ultra legendary best ever. My back-up plan to go there will fall through and everyone will be like "Oh man, best Coachella ever."

-AC

I think last year's will be hard to top. I mean, the return of The Pixies?

Oh, and here's the rumored partial line up that's been floating around the internet:

April 30
David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Coldplay, PJ Harvey, Interpol, The Faint, Franz Ferdinand, Polyphonic Spree, Boards of Canada, TV On the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Squarepusher, Clinic, French Kicks, Secret Machines, Phoenix, Beep Beep, Dogs Die In Hot Cars, Death From Above 1979, and The Helio Sequence

May 1
R.E.M., Tears For Fears, Wilco, Bright Eyes, Jimmy Eat World, Mos Def, Badly Drawn Boy, The Streets, Cake, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, Rilo Kiley, Radio 4, Doves, Iron and Wine, The Arcade Fire, and Moving Units

Bowie, NIN, PJ Harvey and The Faint are the only people I would wanna see and seeing as I'm seeing NIN live in March anyway, wouldn't be much point. If that's the line up, not too bothered.

Second day.....Jimmy Eat World, Mos Def and maybe Arcade Fire.

-AC

1st day...Bowie, Interpol, Franz Ferdiand, Polyphonic Spree, Dog Die in Hot Cars

2nd day: Mos Def, The Streets, Cake, THe Shins, Rilo Kiley, Iron and Wine

Damnit I wish i had money. But this probably won't look anything like the real lineup.
