Thanks! I've never heard of any of those.
Here's who I recognize in ABC order: Bastille, Beyonce, Dillon Francis, DJ Khaled (who I will skip), Empire of the Sun, Glass Animals, Gucci Mane (prob another skip), Hot Since 82, Loco Dice, Lorde, Marshmellow, Martin Garrix, Nora En Pure (thanks to Sirus Chill station), Porter Robinson, Radiohead, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Solomun (looking forward to seeing him), Steve Angello, The Martinez Brothers and Warpaint (wifey likes these chicks, saw them at Henry Fonda/Music Box recently)
Of course I rather stick to the Yuma Tent. But my boogee ass did get us VIP bracelets that apparently don't give us much except for extra space and maybe a less crowded bar.
Still need to figure out housing situation. I don't feel good about $300-$500+ per night at a motel! Houses for rent are REALLY expensive if they are walking distance. Farther you go, cheaper it gets. |
make sure to see Dixon also |

I'd def recommend you spend at least a good amount of time wandering and exploring. While the Yuma does have a really good lineup, chances are you see those artists often, no? Coachella gets world class acts from every faucet of music, and my wanderings there have opened me to all sorts of amazing music. |

| seemed to be a lot of main stream hip hop this year on the main stages. Every IG video posted were of Future, Drake and like that. Any reviews from TAers? |

I see what you mean. Looks like they have something for everyone. Hip hop, bands, 80's bands, orchestras, all types of EDM, trap etc.
I would watch a little bit of each channel on youtube to see if I was interested. My wife feels like we were there already even though we are going this week. Wish me luck!
I also checked on Uber vs. Lyft. For the most part it looked like Lyft was cheaper and faster. Surges would get bad, but not too bad. Until Sunday night, it looked really bad! I'm guessing most Uber and Lyft drivers gave up on Sunday night and therefore the surges were up there! 7 times or 700% around midnight Sunday night. Might have to take it easy and drive Sunday...lets see if I even make it to Sunday! |

As for individual acts that you guys would be interested in: Ben UFO was pure insanity... he is really ridiculous. Danced for an hour straight (nonstop, srs) and we ran out of water so we had to leave before he finished.
Everything else (seriously, everything) was amazing too, but most of them are not really TA's thing. :p |

Great weekend.
Riche Hawtin-Set of the weekend, his CLOSER live show is not to be missed. So many builds and turns, and watching him do everything live mixed into the visuals was insane. Pure destruction!
Also-Solomun, Gaga, Justice, Eli & Fur, Bicep, Mr Carmack, and Mura Masa, all killed.
Let down by-Ben UFO & Bellvile Three(sloppy ass mixing)
Missed-Tale of Us cause I was dead tired and stupid friend wanted to see Kendrick. FML :\
Way too crowded this year though, Golden Voice expanded the fields and it was Still a show, at one point it took me 20 mins to walk past the Sahara tent to the bathroom. Straight up safety hazard.
Overall great weekend outside of the heat and crowds :)
Protip for w2 peeps: security is a joke, we brought 5 different suntan lotion flasks in every day with no issues, made the bar tab this year really cheap:tongue3
