this lineup is fucking amazing and several of my closest friends are going, so i just might go even though it's probably an awful decision. but how can i pass this up?

FUCK

what

about

you guys

George Fornby Grill

I will have my blood money before this event


how much money am I going to contemplate spending on this

satansfingers

this year's lineup doesn't seem that mindblowing really, but i'm also pretty anti-festival

redhead

good good i need voices of reason to convince me this isn't amazing

because this would be such an expensive, poorly-timed trip for me and i still really really want to go

captaink

I'm more of an ACL guy.

satansfingers

coachella kind of has a reputation for these totally amazing reunion/first in a long time performances (last year had pavement, sly stone, faith no more, and the specials), but this year the only one is dfa1979. they're a cool band and all, but it's just a bit of a come down. still time to announce more though.

Wombat!!

DFA DFA DFA DFA

Can't afford it whooooops

satansfingers

i guess this will probably be the first US show by suede since their reunion also, that's cool

simo

friday looks good, with robyn and odd future and titus andronicus, but the headliners suck

oh is that what that's about

are...are they actually going to stay together or is it just a one and done sort of thing

Futore

Steve Harvey is going to play?

Grey Ghost

How much is this

(whatever it is it's too much for me to afford)

Tarranon

oh cool animal collective and arcade fire and kanye and lots of acts i've never seen live before but want to

Dr.Funkenstein

I'd go solely for Kanye

The rest is just a bonus

i don't think anyone knew they were reuniting at all until this lineup was announced about an hour ago, so who knows

seriously had a mini heart attack earlier tonite

redhead

fuck it i basically have to go

too many of my closest friends are going, some people i NEVER get to do awesome shit with anymore

and too many acts i really want to see but haven't

i am basically deciding to go now and figuring out how it's gonna work with my plans/money later

fuck it, i'm still young

satansfingers

go see lil b and odd future

and on the rock side, titus andronicus and the joy formidable

all of these live acts get the satansfingers stamp of approval

ALifeCalledKarma

I'm assuming 'Crystal Castlest' is a typo, otherwise a band really wanted to stick it to Alice Glass and Ethan Kath.

But yeah, really want to go. Not sure which day is the best though. Friday has Crystal Castles and Sleigh Bells, Saturday has Gogol Bordello, Two Door Cinema Club, Foals, and Freeland Whales, and Sunday has Chromeo, Best Coast, She Wants Revenge, and Yelle. Plus I don't mind most of the headliners.

Dr.Funkenstein

Really surprised to see Odd Future on there honestly

They'll be fun to see though

Grey Ghost

I mean goddamn, the Black Keys alone

Others that jump out at me are Death From Above, Gogol Bordello, Chromeo, Marina and the Diamonds, Cage the Elephant

Also Duran Duran what

Sars_Boy

DFA1979 pretty much outshines everything for me.

yeah i am too, and tyler doesn't seem particularly psyched about it based on his twitter. it's a weird environment considering how much they just want to play to teenagers basically. still, though, they're great fun live.

oh weird i didn't even see marina on there. she is also great live!

Tommy2Hands

oh fuck yes sunday lineup rocks

well all of it rocks but chromeo fuck yes

too bad I probably won't go

Sars_Boy

okay i just heard a rumor from a friend that this is supposed to be DFA's official last show ever

i am going to tear my fucking brain out in frustration and spend a ton of money if this is true so someone confirm it for me please

Karl

Go see Ellie Goulding. She is wonderful

Nirya

Sunday's lineup could be the best of the three, but all three days have their good parts.

Why do I never go to this.....

JohnHam

DFA1979 is playing? I thought they broke up (acrimoniously). You're a Woman, I'm a Machine is one of my favorite albums. Hmm.

Mr. G

As much as seeing DFA1979 would be awesome, I live in Chicago

So I will wait for the Pitchfork and Lollapalooza announcements which will probably be just as good

Goose!

More like Hipsterella.

Goose!

No, but really I've never seen the appeal of big concert festivals like this. Too many people packed too tightly together for far too long when its already too warm/hot depending when it is, and usually if you want to actually see the band you have to get there early and if its multi stage you're really fucked (like Warped Tour).

Now there's a real Hipster fest.

I'd rather just go see a concert with 4 bands I like and save on travel money.

Grey Ghost

I mean Chromeo goddamn

I have been on such a Chromeo kick lately

Tossrock

Eh, the electronic lineup isn't as exciting as last year's, but there are still some pretty rad cats on there

I mean, Sasha. Yes. Afrojack and Laidback Luke are pretty cool. Paul van Dyk... getting kinda up there but still a classic. Although he probably wouldn't play something that old. I had no idea shpongle did live performances, that would be fucking awesome. And the Bloody Beetroots are kickin' rad.

Pretty much I'd go if I had the dough and the free time and a camping spot, none of which I have, so

Monkeyfeet

Polecat

Coachella is too far for me

SLyM

That is a surprising number of really good bands, a fair amount of pretty mediocre ones, and amazingly few very bad ones. Too bad money is not a thing that I have to spend on stuff like that.

JohnHam

How could anybody ever consider Clap Your Hands Say Yeah a "bro"-esque band? Definitely a hipstery band, but I don't see the bro-nnection here.

Grey Ghost

The hell Fountains of Wayne is for bros

Monkeyfeet

I wasn't too sure about Semisonic and Goo Goo Dolls. Seems like the person who made it also had some musical vendettas
