I'm so torn on coachella. I have family that lives literally 4 mins from empire (I timed it last time I visited) but it's just so much money... The ticket, the flight, I'd have to stay for at least 2 weeks (I can't just visit and stay at the fest all day. My family would kill me)... But you all make me so excited about it. I think it's time for a pros & cons list....
Why am I so excited for this when I'm not even going? I guess this is just further proof that the Coachella lineup is the true start to the music festival regular season.
I used to get excited for it when I wasn't going, too. I think a big part is that they do tend to put out pretty deep, unique lineups - and since you haven't seen any 2014 lineups yet, all the names on there are new and exciting. Plus they'll pull a big reunion and you'll start wondering if maybe you get the chance to see Refused this year, shit like that.
The reunions in particular are what sets it apart, in my opinion. I don't really dig on At The Drive-In but when they were announced for Coach a year or two back, it was a social media explosion. And I always like to look at the billing because it's pretty fascinating to see where certain artists are billed, and in what order. On top of it all, the fact that they announce it in a way that allows you to see which acts are playing on which days gives it an extra feeling of "Wow, the things I would do to go see The Chemical Brothers/Black Keys on Friday, Animal Collective/Arcade Fire on Saturday, and Duran Duran/Kanye West on Sunday." Even though you don't have the schedule, you have a vision of what you could be getting yourself into, which is exciting enough.
While I genuinely enjoy the schedule speculation that comes with Roo's approach, Coachella more or less gives you your lineup/schedule at once which just adds to the madness.
