Feel free to list other big festivals that happen in the US that have a similar variety of music.

Well then it turns into "list other festivals as huge as coachella" which there arent many of.

And I'll be honest and say I cant think of any off hand right now, other than Sasha & Digweed playing Bonaroo, and a few other big shows, but none with the variety of Coachella.

Which is why my original comment was

"people should be happy that EDM is represented at a party of this scale in the USA"

That's all.

And I think you'd find the appreciation would go up if someone like Laurent Garnier, and not Tiesto, was representing EDM on the main stage.

I think Laurent Garnier would be aggravated that he was even mentioned in the same sentence as tiesto even though it was a compliment hahahaha

Originally posted by Swamper I don't see how your comment applies in the case of a large music festival. If anything, having such a variety of music allows those in attendance to party with friends that may not have otherwise come out and enabling them to listen to tunes they wouldn't have sought after on their own (because it's outside their primary genre).

I just don't see the point in booking completely different acts playing back to back with each other - the sounds are going to clash and just as you're about to get into the sound you actually like it changes. If you had different sounds/acts in different rooms/areas I would understand but this all just seems very random to me.

Edit:
For the most part it is that way but some of the stage selections seem quite puzzling to me.

Well usually the transitions aren't as bad...

actually i thought i would get this out.

I, for one, enjoy edm just the way it is, imagine if all of a suden edm was all over the mainstream. The way it is is just fine, it makes our love for the music, i guess, to be more pure.

woot! i got my tickets!

we looking forward to seeing:


the Arcade Fire

Peter, Bjorn & John!!!!!

LCD Soundsystem

the Decemmberists

Ghostface Killah

MSTRKRFT

im not so fond of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but my cousin and bro are really excited about them.


ill let you guys know how the crowd reacts to tiesto's appearence

Pretty much half the people I know in LA are at Coachella right now.

Whatever. Nothing at Coachella will ever top hearing Carl Cox rock out for 2 hours, followed by Daft Punk completely shattering the awesomeness scale. They may as well not even try.

Omg their coachella set was unexplainable, i listen to it almost every week. hope the one at keyspan will be as good.

All the comments regarding Coachella and the line up are absurd. They obviously put the bigger names last. Two reasons, 1 marketing, 2 the heat. It would be pretty silly of the promoters to have a big name in the middle of the day when the desert reaches 100+ degrees, not to mention that the Sahara stage is inside a giant sweaty tent

Do you guys honestly think PVD mixed OUT of one of Richie's tracks? Hell no. No dj mixed in/out of the previous DJs tracks unless they play similar styles. I've gone to Coachella for the past 3 years and I can say that I've only seen a DJ mix out of the previous DJs tracks maybe 3 times. One was Laurent Garnier playing after Sander K and one was Colette playing after Kaskade. Other than that, DJ B stops DJ A's track and starts over.

And Wotyzoid, the Sahara tent has always ALWAYS been dance music. The Rapture and Happy Mondays have no place there. And who said something about the flow being weird because The Roots play before Richie Hawtin? They're on opposite sides of the field

edit // All that being said, this year was one of the most unimpressive Coachella lineups to date. I'm talking both dance music and rock music. So bleh this year.
