Yes, a notoriously unstable narcissist who backed out of Coachella at the last second because they wouldn’t rework their entire music festival to accommodate his half-baked dome idea is going take a break from supporting Donald Trump and recording boring music about fucking Kim Kardashian to perform a surprise set at the same music festival he just had a falling out with. With a gospel choir. In a dome.

Honestly I think they mean Antarctic tent the more I think about it, but who knows. I apologize for ever bringing it up lol.
Do we even have confirmation that Antarctic is coming back again? I'm almost positive we did by this time last year but I haven't seen anything about it this year.
btw the Antarctic is listed as one of the attractions in the welcome guide that came with the wristbands.
Coachella’s social media direction has been questionable this year.
Which was the festival that said "come for the gram, stay for the music" this year? I swore it was Gov Ball but don't see it anymore, so maybe it was a different one.

I enjoy the idea of someone paying 400 bucks for a festival pass just to take a selfie, only to discover that they actually enjoy the noises happening in the background of their photo opp. Then, and only then, do they decide to stay for the rest of the fest. You know. For the music.

It happens the other way too. Sometimes they just come for photos and leave for the show. I remember watching one YouTube Coachella recap with an absurd number of views from one YouTube "influencer" who, on Sunday of 2016, went in just to see The 1975 and left right after they were done. That's what, an hour fifteen in the festival maybe?
As a fun aside, a friend of ours does PR for a bunch of big alcohol companies and we met up with her at a Coachella (2017 I think) and her sole job and reason for being there was to babysit the Instagram influencers they hired. One was getting $5,000 for one photo with an alcoholic drink, the other got $10,000 for two photos, on top of comped VIP tickets, flights, and accommodation. They were so wasted they weren't responding to texts inquiring about when the photos would be up, and she wasn't even sure they made it into the festival. She was exasperated.
Lastly my SIL who is a pseudo-Instagram influencer and is completely insufferable on any family vacation due to the sheer number of "photo shoots" she does in inappropriate places really wants to come to Coachella with us..."but only for the cool stuff" ie the parties. She literally cannot comprehend actually attending the festival and says that "when" she comes with us (over our dead bodies) that she doesn't even need a ticket. She has no idea what it even is. "Nobody actually GOES to the festival", she is fond of telling us. Us who are going to our ninth, mind you, and she's never been.

I also hate a lot of this (I'm 22 so a lot of people I know are like this). But truthfully posting pics while "having fun" on IG is great socially and builds some type of "status" or at least shows you are a cool guy or girl. I don't have an IG yet but I feel like I'll get sucked into it mostly just for girls
So just to confirm, hard alcohol is now available to everyone, not just VIP?
It's always been available in super limited areas/locations. There's always been a full bar in the GA Main Stage garden, margaritas in the garden between outdoor and main. And they've usually had an alcohol sponsored tent in one of those gardens (usually main/outdoor). They've had a craft cocktail log cabin in the Craft Beer Garden and that tiki bar that I've yet to be in, as well as margaritas in that Mexican restaurant in the Craft Beer Garden. And I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that they expanded the VIP Cocktails on Draft program to other beer gardens last year. So I assume it'll be sort of like its always been. VIP has tons of extra cool full bars though, they flew full craft cocktail bars from Miami and NYC last year to do cool pop-ups, and the Woodley Proper bar that's always been in VIP except last year is always a full-on shitshow in the day (New Orleans style drinks and cheap oysters and jazz music, they are solely responsible for the drunkest I've ever been in the day at Coachella).

I am actually totally pro-Instagram in general although I almost never use/post on it. My mom is a niche medium artist on the side and has totally broadened her social circle even at 60 with people all over the globe that do what she does. And I can see how it would be great for dating. I'm 31 and married though so that's sort of a moot point for me. I just hate what it turns into at its worst. As mentioned my SIL is a wannabe influencer and its exasperating. At this point in her life (and she's older than me!) her entire life revolves around doing things JUST to get a photo. On vacations she'll complain the whole time but on social media it's all "J'ADORE PARIS!!!!". She'll want to take everybody completely out of our way to go to a location JUST for one photo and spend 15 minutes "shooting". It's so fake and ridiculous and she's deeply unhappy but portrays this whole life that she doesn't actually live. She's gotten so desperate too (at one point we caught her taking photos with somebody else's Louis Vuitton luggage at a hotel as the porters had delivered the luggage right outside a guests room, and she tried to pass it off on Instagram as her own).
