Judging by social media (and my own experience), YYYs tickets to their small shows in LA/NYC promoted by GV sold out instantaneously. This is some serious blue balls teasing if they aren't making the Coachella & Pano/Gov Ball rounds next year (or at least coming back to play large shows).
I have a hard time seeing YYYs playing next year at Coachella unless they have a new album on the way.
Ha, not what I meant. I meant the guy should ask logistical questions now to shoot the shit while the thread is slow for another couple weeks before it starts heating up (usually does mid to late October).
But I'm going to guess Tyler yes, MCDE no, Soulwax no.
Did car camping the past couple years which was cool. Finally going with some friends this year and we got a house in Palm Springs.
Limiting VIP parking for VIP wristband buyers sucks. If I wanna park closer why won't they just take my money?
So my questions are (1) Anyone know if they enforce this VIP for VIP rule? (2) How early does one have to get to general parking for a good spot (3) How is it leaving general parking after the final acts?

How do people tend to get from Palm Springs to Indio? Shuttle? Drive? Uber? Most of the reason this is doable for me is a family friend has a house (I believe in Palm Springs) she said we could use if we ever went.

I rent a car at LAX and drive. There are shuttles, but I like having the freedom to go wherever I want. The parking lot has always been super easy to navigate to and from. I have arrived at all times of the day and never had a problem. I only camped my first couple of times and have stayed in Palm Springs ever since. The drive isn't bad at all. With music it's actually rather enjoyable.
Stayed at a house first time, camped the second time. Camping is sooooo much better. Saves you money on alcohol inside as well, especially if you're in lot 8 which is a 3 minute walk from the entrance.

I would use Ubers as a last resort. It's arguably the easiest way to get there in the afternoon (and not crazy expensive, though a little inflated), but it's a nightmare leaving still. They have an Uber pen that hundreds (if not thousands) of people flock to between midnight and 1:15 AM and it makes it almost impossible to get a car without waiting an hour. A big mess.
Driving is easiest if you and your friends have a DD or don't care about drinking/drugs (full disclousre: in 5 Coachella I have never driven, but I have friends who swear by it).
However, the option I'd recommend is the shuttle. If you are close to a hotel that's on the hotel line (google the line on Coachella Valley Travel and have your friend tell you where there house is and compare) then you can easily hop on and off the shuttles. Yes, you sometimes have to wait in line a bit, yes, the shuttle moves a bit slower because it's a big bus, but it's the easiest way if you and your whole crew are drinking.

Day parking is free right? Anyone had any bad experiences trying to get out at night? I don't drink at festivals so this could be a good option.

They all have a chance. It would def be weird for them to miss out on Soulwax on this cycle. I'm iffy on MCDE only because it would have made more sense last year.

While camping may seem cheaper on the surface, it seems like it'd be more expensive from out-of-town folk needing to rent supplies. While the hotels grossly mark-up their rates during the weekends, the prices are doable if you have a group of four to six people.

Parking has been very easy in my experience. Even at the end of the night leaving after the headliner it hasn't been awful. Last year I got one of the packages and did the shuttle and I really recommend that. Very convenient.
I like camping more than staying in a hotel. But I am 20 so there’s that. The comforts were noticeably absent though. It really depends on how much you enjoy being fully immersed the entire time. That was worth it to me this year.
