Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Festival • Page 71

With all the moving parts that go into this, that really is pretty impressive. I wonder if they have contingency plans for postponed dates in contracts for bizarre situations like this? If they don't now, I'm sure they will in the future

 

I'm sure there is something or other in the contract, but I also think that the fest and the artist probably are working together for something that is mutually beneficial.

 

Should I listen to more country music?

 

Eric Church rules, I’m not a fan of “Bro Country” which is what makes up most of country radio. But yeah Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves, and Ruston Kelly are good starting places.

Hopefully someone a bit more into that scene follows up behind me with more recs

 

listen to Orville Peck

 

ABSOLUTELY. There's SO MUCH great country right now. First, Youtube "Bo Burnham Pandering" to laugh a little. As mentioned previously, you can't go wrong with Kacey Musgraves & her husband Ruston Kelly; Kacey's album Golden Hour won AOTY at the Grammy's & it's well deserved, Ruston just released an ep of emo covers. Katie Pruitt just put out a great album a few weeks ago, & is about to tour with City & Colour. Kelsea Ballerini is the featured vocalist in a lot of Chainsmokers songs, she's got an album coming out really soon that's def more on the pop side if that's your thing. Some other more current artists I've been listening to pretty frequently: Old Dominion, Kalie Schorr, Lauren Alaina, Gabby Barrett, Kane Brown. Spotify's #throwbackthursday playlist is currently "powerful women of country", and it spans several decades. The 90s was full of so much good stuff... Dixie Chicks first 2 albums are as good as it gets in my opinion. And they just released their first new song in 13 years!!

Edit: My dumb ass forgot Donavon Woods, he's amazing too

 

all I know is kacey musgraves and orville peck and I am happy

 

+old town road

 

Who knows, maybe six months from now I’ll be buying Stagecoach tickets.

 

Glastonbury is every other year usually anyway right? Makes it a little bit easier for them in that regard.

In other news, someone in the Bonnaroo thread said that is getting postponed to the fall, which I believe at this point. I'm imagining a future where I go to Lolla in August, Bonnaroo in September, and Coachella in October and I'm not so made anymore (but also maybe it's hopeful to think Lolla will even still go on in August).

 

You think Lolla would postpone? Lolla is still months away. I'm worried about Pitchfork.

 

Bonaroo just postponed

 

Shaky Knees and Govball gonna announce new fall dates soon.

 

Already did.

 

I am done trying to predict what's going to happen lol

 

Honestly.... wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t see any festivals this year at all

 

Yeah even if the virus goes away earlier that expected, I don’t know how many people want to go on an expensive vacation after financial hardship

 

It is generally every year, they take a year off roughly every five years to give the villagers a break.

 

Lady Gaga was planning a surprise Coachella set?

 

well now it can be a surprise in October

 

Finding that out when it's not happening is worse than coachella getting postponed in the first place why even share that info with me unless she is coming in october too

 

I love the optimism!
