Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Festival • Page 27

temps are up again.... 98-103-104

 

So, no set times still for weekend 2. Based on the app I actually feel like this year may have the exact same set times both weekends but idk

 

I think we're still getting our own separate times, if you look on the website the listed set times photos list "Weekend 1" still. Also, last weekend there was a lot of shuffling on Sunday during the actual weekend, so they'll want to clarify what they are doing this weekend with Sunday

 

New set times are out, slight changes all around

 

I am useless at work today, time to get outta here

 

Well, guys...best sets?

 

For me it was Kendrick, Lorde, the xx, Bon Iver. No particular order.

Also had a great time at Radiohead, The Avalanches, Porter Robinson & Madeon, Dreamcar, Two Door Cinema Club, Nao, Broods, Sampha, SOHN, Shura and Joseph

phew!! Great weekend all around

 

I'm glad you enjoyed the Porter & Madeon performance. I saw them in Philly but would've loved to see it at a Festival. Still a great show though

 

If anyone didn't get to make it to Antarctica, or wants to re-live it, the whole thing is uploaded as a 3d video

Quick- which weekend are you chorus folks going to get in the presale?

 

Got car camping Weekend 2. See ya!

 

Still in line... shrug

 

Got car camping weekend 1! It'll be my first year going.
Most of the people I'm going with aren't really campers though, is it worth trying to convince them?

 

I had QUITE a morning. So we have 11 people in our group this year, including a first-timer who is a huge Beyonce fan. At the last minute we decided to try for weekend 1, even though it was going to be difficult. So all 11 of us, over like 20+ devices (I had my phone, computer and incognito window going) ready at 11. The line process must be truly random, because I didn't get through until an hour and 10 minutes, then another co-worker of mine still wasn't through after an hour and 20, so she ran over to my desk which got there before her own computer, and she filled it out here.

All in all, we all got passes plus 7 camping spots, two of us had to get the GA+Shuttle pack because the GA passes alone sold out around 11:15. But in the end it all worked out, guess we're Weekend 1'ers again!

 

It's honestly not "camping" in the traditional sense, in my opinion. Yes you sleep in a tent, but that's about it. There are porta-poties at camp which aren't preferable, but they are relatively clean, especially in recent years. Showers are zero problem either, they are open 24 hours in 3 places, so you can shower anytime you want and get clean.

The big postives (and outweigh everything to me) is that you can go in and out of the venue way easier. Example, I can go see a small act at 1:00, then go back to camp for a few hours if I have a break of bands I don't want to see. If you get a hotel, or something else, you get one chance to go in and are basically stuck all day.

I'm just overall a fan of waking up at camp, hanging out, playing games, then everyone goes into the venue whenever they want and no one has to wait for anyone else.

This'll be my 9th year going, and 9th year camping, so feel free to ask questions if you have any

 

First time I've ever been shut out of presale (since 2013).

 

you had the page up and in the waiting room before 11? Did you only use one device to stand in line?

 

Nailed it. Was on before 11, but did only did desktop AND only one browser this year. I really should have known that wouldn't work considering previous efforts haha.

 

damn! quite sorry to hear that. Well, good luck during gereral on sale haha

 

Thanks man. Went 13-14-15 but had to sell tickets for 16-17. Would love to make a return.

Gotta figure Beyoncé and Arcade Fire are 2 of the 3?

 

Maybe Foo Fighters instead of Arcade Fire. Hard to say at this point. Gorillaz also could be in the running, or bands we don't know are about to release something
