I wasn't there but I heard Arcade Fire came out in Daft Punk outfits to troll everyone. That would have been hilarious to see.

:toot: RIP ZEEZ :toot:
I don't know what was different, but some of the better bits:

Friday: Caravan Palace was amazing (holy poo poo I like them so much more live); Neko Case was really cool, Flume was great.

Saturday: DARKSIDE was my favorite (I think being in the second row helped), but CVRCHES and Lorde were also great. Oh, and HAIM.

Sunday: Neutral Milk Hotel was perfect. I've been listening to them for literally half a lifetime and it was thoroughly surreal to see Jeff Mangum in person. Disclosure/Rudimental were great (as was the end of John Newman's set). At the end either Daft Punk or some musical robots opened Arcade FIre's set with Get Lucky which was pretty great.

I think the most divisive set was Future Islands (at least among the kids I went with). Half of us loved them, the other half left early.

One thing I noticed was that the afterparties were worse than the last time I went. Maybe it's because it's Weekend 2? Maybe it's because I'm just not that into them anymore? I dunno. I did get to talk for a bit to some of Blood Orange which was cool at least.

Is there any legit way to watch Outkast's week 2 set? The first one was on youtube for four or five days after but I can't find the second set anywhere.

Usually getting them during the presale isn't so bad. At least compared to that 30 minute sell out on the main sale.

I got in line at 9:59am and then at 10:01 my computer screen went grey and restarted. Thanks Apple!

My girlfriend was able to get me a ticket though, but we don't have a car camping pass so that's going to be interesting. Maybe we will camp offsite next year...

It always says that for weekend 1. It't not a great sign, but I've gotten tickets several years in a row after seeing that message.

I have that for Weekend 2, but I might as well wait for that, I know could get W2 tickets on the actual sale in January and could take another shot at Weekend 1 then.

Yup. drat, didn't get through for weekend 1. Debating whether to grab weekend 2 or not, but I think I'll just give it another shot on the real sale.

(edit): nevermind, did it via the travel package including hotel -- I was going to book hotel now anyway. YAY

I got coachella weekend one tickets but I had to buy it with a shuttle pass. It was like $75 more. Oh well, I heard you can sell the shuttle pass ticket individually anyways

The shuttles are pretty great anyway, if you're staying somewhere that you can easily use the shuttle.

Yeah good luck with that. Shuttle passes are not in high demand. In fact, they hardly have any demand at all. You will likely lose money on your shuttle pass. They were selling for like $20-30 this year.

Yeah, the tickets were $435 each instead of $370. It's a bummer but oh well. If I can still sell them for $30 each, I'll only eat around $30 per ticket each which is not bad at all.

I'm going with my brother and his friends and I think they do rental cars, but if the house we are renting out next year is near the shuttle area, I might take advantage of the shuttle service.

Anyone know how to check on the status of the order and everything? Or should I not worry about it?

I went with signing through facebook when buying my tickets, and the coachella website does not give me an option to log in through facebook. I have my order number and everything though.
I'm guessing the wristbands get sent to my shipping address after I complete my monthly payments but it would be nice to get a confirmation or something on their website besides an email receipt.

Hasn't it been late January recently, are we sure it's coming out so soon?

Either way, I'm hoping it's incredible because there's a chance this might be my first time not attending since '09. Experience another big festival maybe. But a stellar Coachella lineup wouldn't be so bad.

Its been trending earlier and earlier every year. Predictions are tomorrow (6th) with tickets on sale Friday, but I'm more inclined to think it will be next week. Either way, since the tickets sell fast and go on sell very quickly after the lineup, now would be a good time to let people know they are probably going on sale soon!
