I go to these festivals to see the current state of music, or at least music played by real people, or at the very least music playing while real people stand on stage. what the fuck is the point of watching a simulation of a deceased artist? this technology is just paving the way for people like Tiesto to do even less work on stage.
Don't forget, that hologram cost 1 million dollars to produce.

there is much love for tupac... how many people i nthat crowd actually got to SEE him perform, thats as close as they will get, and its probably an experience they will all never forget

I'm on the fence with it being creepy and slightly disrespectful but also I agree with the point that not many people ever had the chance to see him perform live so this might have been a great experience for them

as will I, except I will be protesting this event by getting fucked up and going to watch someone else.
edit: AVICII is the only one else playing at that time? ah fuck it, bring out them ghosts nigguh.
nice man!! are you camping?? while i don't care for the hologram idea either, i'm still excited for the dre/snoop act. as i understand it, they were basically given a blank check by coachella to do something amazing so i have high expectations (expectations which have been confirmed based on week one attendees)
i'm disappointed with the sahara tent this year and don't expect to spend any time in there really

I'm doing media for the festival, so I never really had a chance at camping tix because Goldenvoice only just confirmed me. luckily a friend I'm going with found an apartment for rent a mile or two away. are you camping? we should meet up or sum ting, if only to protest for the sanctity of posthumous rights.
Pft, all this cutting-edge holo/CGI technology still can't get rid those 'dead eyes'.
