This is just straight up weird. I couldnt even imagine there being TWO Bonnaroo's, or TWO Lollapalooza's, or TWO Glastonbury's. Its so odd, and really I dont see what benefit besides cash flow it would bring. The idea behind a annual festival or annual event is that is ANNUAL. Only one, something to look forward to, something that if you snooze you loose when it comes to getting tickets, something that is special. This just sucked any ounce of "special" Coachella had out for me.
This. Also, I wouldn't want to go to the 2nd one because I would want to be there for the first one, where everything is happening for the first time...
Should be concentrating their efforts into one weekend festival and making it the best it can be. If you can only hold 80k people then you make it the best weekend for those 80k. There is no benefit to this but more cash for Goldenvoice.
"Going to Coachella this weekend!!!""Oh cool Ill be there next weekend let me know how it is". lol WTF?

Exactly, if you go the second weekend and find out a week before that Arcade Fire will be dropping LED balls, it loses that "wow" factor
This would be a lot better if they did it for two weekends with different line-ups like the NOLA Jazz Fest. One would think that the higher-ups at Goldenvoice would understand that Coachella could generate more revenue for the festival and companies affiliated if it were run like that.
Duplicating the exact same acts over two weekends, I'd think would be impossible. You might be able to book maybe 50% of them over two weekends, but probably fewer. I think logistics will make the two weekends significantly different from one another. Creative marketing fo' sure.
It's like a money-electromagnet. With the infrastructure in place, it's easy enough to turn on the current two weekends in a row. I'm sure the hotels and vendors aren't going to complain. Set it all up, and leave it standing for an extra week, and make twice the money.

I really hope this bites Goldenvoice in the ass, because if it turns out to be a huge success then its only a matter of time before something like this gets implemented for Bonnaroo.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.

I think most artists playing this format will hate it as well. One of the best things about a show setup like this is the spontaneity of the moment. The second time through would seem like a bad rehash for me.

This is an interesting development. My first thought was that it was a good idea, but thats only in theory. In reality, it definitely cheapens the whole experience. I will be very surprised if they sell out both weekends.

Reduce $/ticket a *little*? You get to see the same show but for a slightly cheaper price, and have a little more choice in scheduling.
Really? I saw some quote about it only selling 60K or so 3-day passes for 2010.
the camping sold out really fast I dont think the fest did. I went that year and we had problems getting rid of tix. If it did it was nowhere near as quick as this year.
If I wanted to see a run of the mill performance, than I would see fucking acts play here. I have zero interest in seeing Arcade Fire drop the balls a second time. That was an amazing surprise and doesn't work on the 2nd time. I loved my time in 2010, but I just went from buying a ticket pre-sale, to waiting on a line up.
