I have a relative that lives 15 minutes away so I really wanted to go to because I've never been before. That EDM line up blows hard though, and I really don't know any of the bands. Oh well, maybe the line up next year will be better.

I fucking puked when I saw this... went from Sven and Sasha last year to this... shit, complete shit. I come back from BPM looking forward to the release of the coachella line-up and I get SHM and a bunch of ja-mooks! AND I already bought my tickets. FUCK!
DEMF please save the day!

It's all about the money now. They took a risk making it two weekends in a row so they have to cater to the mass to guarantee a sold out show, which unfortunately consists of bros and more bros.
I bought both weekend tickets in case Daft Punk played one weekend over the other. But there's no Daft Punk and I can't take both weekends off. I'm probably going to Weekend one since the grass will be greener.
I will gladly sell my 2nd weekend ticket to a fellow TA for 300 instead of 326 if anyone is interested and the 92.50 Weekend two car camping for 85. PM me.

Going for weekend one, this lineup is weak as most have already said. Getting there the day before. Anyone else getting there a day early?

I honestly am surprised so many people legitimately believed daft was going to play :|
Bangalter has tinnitus and made it clear he cares about his hearing and Guy-manual has no interest in being a "celebrity". Maybe in 10 years they will play once again

Weekend 1 will probably sellout in a couple hours, maybe days. I'd assume weekend 2 will not sell out, but it's coachella and they released an etards dream lineup so you never know
Every year they sell more and more, the reason there are two weekends is to deal with the scalpers which were just fucking insane last year
do you have a source for your info about week 1 tickets?

While I agree that Daft Punk playing anytime soon is skeptical at best. As for the tinnitus issue, you do know they toured in 2006-2007 right? He developed the tinnitus in 2002.

A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses. - Thomas Bangalter

I used to be a hardcore Daft Punk fan in 1997 but they just aren't the same anymore... all commercial now like most artists.
D00d! What are you talking about. Daft Punk is not even on the lineup. lol Yes, they played at Coachella in 2006 but Coachella was awesome then and DP wasn't as big as they are now.

Daft Punk commercial? What are you smoking? Because I don't want any.
