Hey guys still new to the site but not unfamiliar with the festival blogging. However, for the last two years I've been entirely focused on Coachella. Has anyone here been to both? If so, how do you compare the two? The environment at Coachella is stellar but I assume Bonnaroo's is as electric. Also, I've always done the VIP with the RV setup. Can you rent an RV and have it fixed in the VIP area? Hope to hear back, thanks guys.
Don't worry, hotgorillaz, there are some here that have done both. Can't recall their names right now, but keep an eye out and you will here comparisons. I have not done Coachella, but one year maybe. Also have not done RV or VIP fer 'Roo. But from what little I have read in comparisons, and from my overall experiences at 'Roo I say we win. 'Roo latenights plus most bands gettin' at least[/u] an hour plus to play per set, it is just awesome.
Another one who's only done Roo and so I'm certainly biased but I think Roo has an edge in a couple of ways that can be seen without going to both.
First, set length. Most Coachella sets seem to be in the 45 minutes to an hour range. Most Roo sets are about twice the length.
Second, late nights. Music typically runs until about 2 on Thursday and dawn on Friday and Saturday. I believe that Coachella has a pretty firm cutoff (midnight or one?) that has even lead to the Cure getting unplugged by festival organizers.

I've been to both, but never with an RV. I can't really say which is one is better, they're both great in their own ways.

My boy Schmee has been to both, says both are cool in their own way. IMO Bonnaroo Latenight > Coachella aesthetics but i havent been to both. As for the RV, the pre set up ones are expensive through bonnaroo. I have heard of some other rv companies setting it up and breaking it down for you, like a pop up or trailor. If I were you i would just reserve one now, and spend the extra day getting it and driving it in come june.
^^^That's what I'm thinking. Found it interesting to see that Isle announced KOL headlining this year. Seems really early to me. Maybe a little pressure on Roo to give an artist or two early?!?
Does anyone know if VIP tickets go on-sale during the pre-sale? I'm guessing the Payment Plan option isn't available for early bird tickets either -- can anyone confirm?
Pretty sure they did not launch the payment plan option until tickets actually went on sale. And with payment plan you are charged the highest of the tiered ticket prices (tier 4?). I had ta do that in '09, and it is nice and worked out well with my fundage that year ta only havta pay I think the $50 per month plus all the fees upfront.
