Oregon Festival Sues Coachella Over Five-State Radius Clause, Alleged Anti-Competitive Behavior
According to an alleged copy of the radius clause, included in the lawsuit, artists playing this year's festival are restricted from playing any festival or themed event in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington or Arizona from December 15, 2017, until May 7, 2018. Aldrich argues radius clause agreements hurt smaller cities and festival programmers and don't provide many benefits to Coachella since the event sells out months in advance.
I don’t think this lawsuit has much of a chance, but that’s an aggressive radius clause of it really does apply to more than just the top few bands.
this is pretty interesting because this festival takes place during Coachella. Wonder if Coachella has a larger radius for during the festival and a smaller one for dates outside of the festival dates
Edit: this is even more interesting because Fleet Foxes is playing a non AEG venue in Oregon tonight.
The artists mentioned in the article are like SZA and Daniel Ceasar and pretty big names like that, so not insane to really restrict where the can play. Also that language restricts festivals not any venue.
I gotta say I don’t have a ton of sympathy for the plaintiff here. They were very clearly trying to organize a festival where they could grab a bunch of acts already on the west coast for Coachella. But a five month clause for every act on the bill would be excessive if true.
I legit saw so many people get kicked from the Perfect Circle gig in Toronto. Was weird but kinda cool not to watch a gig through someone elses phone
They kicked them out for having out their phone? No warning? Or was that stated before the show?
There was a warning before the tour started and also signs before you walked into the venue. They could remove you from the venue for pulling your phone out at any time during the show. They should have used the Yondr pouches that Jack White is using.
Considering APC usually only plays butt rock festivals it'll be interesting to see what their set looks like. They usually play the "heavy" songs for fests because they're booked at redneck metal fests, hopefully they get more creative with the setlist at Coachella due to the diff crowd.

Oooh this is a fun way to kill 5 minutes before I do actual work. What about this?
1. The Package 2. The Hollow 3. TalkTalk [New Song] 4. Disillusioned [New Song] 5. The Noose 6. Rose 7. Imagine (John Lennon cover) 8. Magdalena 9. [New Song Debut] 10. Blue 11. The Doomed [New Song] 12. The Outsider
Thirteenth Step - 4 Mer de Noms - 3 New Album - 4 Covers - 1
Is the schedule out for this or do they just hand a hard copy to people as they enter for the first time?
it'll come today or tomorrow or god forbid, Thursday.
I understand both sides to this, but I imagine if I ever get to Coach that this would be the most annoying aspect of the entire festival. Who knows: maybe it would encourage me to do better research from the jump.

It totally is the most annoying part, but in the grand scheme it's no biggie because there's almost always something good happening. I've found that every west coast festival I've been to releases the set times the week of, it sucks.
The set times 48-72 hours before the festival sucks. Period. I get it from GV's standpoint, but I'm not going to spin it in terms of a "I LOVE THE WAIT!!!" type thing.
That being said, I can't think of a time in five Coachellas I've been to where I had a 2-3 hour open gap where if I had the set times weeks before I could have researched something to fill it. It just doesn't really happen at Coachella. If anything I guess it eliminates the sting of knowing about terrible conflicts weeks ahead of time.
It's just not all that difficult to decide who you wanna see is my point. I'd imagine everyone here does plenty of research. Aside from 2-3 conflicts you'll be fine. I just don't think there's really all that much of advantage by getting the schedule months in advance. You'll probably end up seeing the same acts regardless.
They went from $950 to near $1k in the span of an hour. Currently trying to list my gf's sister's ticket on StubHub, but looks like I'll have to send the pass to a StubHub fulfillment center? Wooo

Yup I've been trying to get Weekend 2 tickets for cheap and had 3 people back out on me so far. I think I may have just missed the sweet spot for ticket prices. Maybe they'll dip again next week but I'm afraid of waiting that long.

There's not really anything to get from GV's standpoint. They wait until the bitter end because they want to and because they love watching people suffer in anticipation. There are no legitimate issues that are unique to Coachella that prevent them from releasing them weeks or months ahead like a large majority of festivals do. Every single excuse ever floated is experienced by other big festivals to the same degree or worse.
Personally I think they just get off on the secrecy and withholding privileged information aspect of the entire process, like they're fucking Apple or the NSA or some shit.

I think its a little of that. I still do think the biggest things are limiting bitching from both artists and patrons to a smaller window. Another reason, and much less so, ticket movement based off of set times.
They're really doing a late push for JMJ. That tweet they just sent out is targeting EDM kids hard.
Yea that was pretty weird. I think they are realizing late in the game that not a lot of their base picked up on him through research. They don't want to put a ton into this guys production and have no one show up. Show the kids the lights damnit!
