I got a fun game for us while we wait. Looking back at the past lineups what one do you think aged the worst? In my opinion I think 2016
2016 for sure. It was my first Coachella, so I was just happy to go and wasn't worried about the line up so much. I had always been curious about it, so I was gonna go regardless. Seeing Lush on the line up is what got me to pull the trigger (and that was an amazing experience), there were bright spots (Lush, Anderson Paak, Matt & Kim, etc.) but overall yeah. I did not watch a single headliner that year. Well, I listened to GNR from a distance while I ate.
2022 was also pretty meh. I don't like Weeknd live, Billie is cool but I had recently seen her already. Would have had more fun at Harry if his new album was out before Coachella.

2016 Saturday and Sunday were pretty mediocre overall, but 2016 Friday is still one of my favorite nights, with 2manydjs > St. Germain > BORNS > Underworld > Sufjan Stevens > Parov Stelar > LCD.

Getting All My Friends on the field while hugging a group of 12 of my closest friends after we all thought their show at MSG would be the last time we’d hear it is something that could never be replicated. And for that 2016 is one of my favorite years.
Also nobody knew what Despacio is and we got to see that marvelous ball light up during “Like An Eagle” for the first time in a very sparse crowd.
2016 on paper probably has aged the worst, but Friday and Sunday were 2 of my favorite runs ever
Mavis Staples, HEALTH, Joey Bada$$, Despacio for 90 minutes, 2manydjs, Of Monsters & Men, Underworld, Sufjan Stevens, Savages, LCD Soundsystem
Epik High, the Vandals, Nate Rateliff, Rancid, Despacio for 2 hours, Ed Sharpe & The Mag Zero's, Major Lazer, Anderson .Paak, Sia, Death Grips, Miike Snow, Deafheaven
Even the worst-aged had ample magic. Despacio's first year there was so damn good

2016 was my least favorite of the 2011-2017 run I attended, even though that Friday was a blast. And in fairness, it had its share of acts I have not gotten to see elsewhere, including Lush, the first performance of "modern" Sia, and that insane Sufjan show. But much of the rest was unmemorable, and looking at the poster doesn't impress today. GNR with Slash in the lineup was the big headline, but now GNR with Slash has toured a ton since. I saw two other LCD Soundsystem shows that year, and they were probably both better than the Coachella one. That was the year they had EDM closers on the Outdoor, which made the crowds on the Outdoor terrible every evening. And this one isn't the fault of the festival, but I'm still mad about letting my friend drag me to Silversun Pickups instead of ditching him to see Ice Cube.
Extremely low chance they ever play together again (re: The Rapture since it got cut off). Lot of bad blood there nowadays
Bummer since that JLH show in 2019 ruled
Yeah, Luke seems content with just being a “normal” dude at this point which I think is pretty awesome. Probably more likely to catch him on PlayStation playing MLB or in a fantasy football league at this point than on a festival bill.

So much of this is me. First Coachella, didn’t care about not knowing anyone on the lineup, only headliner I saw was the end of GNR as they started up Paradise City and left right after. I definitely don’t have many standout sets from that year beyond Sunday: Sia, Miike Snow and that W2 Anderson Paak set where both Kendrick and Dr. Dre came out as guests.
Can someone ask the old lady from Egypt what she thinks of Lana Del Rey headlining Coachella so we can know whether the festival has redeemed its reputation as a laughingstock worldwide
So assuming tomorrow is the day and we don't hear anything from HDD, are we expecting Doja as the 3rd HL?
I don't think they're terribly invested in clarifying any further, even last year when they got all the headliners right they still prefaced it with "If the rumors are accurate". that being said because it's always good to assume the worst and constantly panic, yes, I am expecting it.

Yeah walking into paak after miike snow to catch the last run of songs is still one of my favorite Coachella moments. Of monster’s and men during golden hour was absolutely magic. I had no awareness of Sufjan and was absolutely blown away. Sia was spectacular. The last shadow puppets finished with some Beatles love. Disclosure with all the guests. Also my introduction to rufus du sol. Gary Clark whaling on the main in the sun. Jack u was a terrible nightmare but I’m still amazed at the magnitude of their crowd. I’m not sure the definition of aged poorly. I certainly have many many fond memories of that festival [br
2016 aged the worst and I’m not even talking about *just* the lineup. That poster is an eyesore.
I actually really like it lol. I remember when it dropped and being stunned that it was so monochromatic. 2022's combination of unnatural gradients and super grainy texture gets my vote for least favorite poster of the modern era.

True. I'm just thinking of in 2022 when they reported that Ye was gonna be the 3rd HL after running the article about SHM and Billie
Ben Howard vs 2Chainz in 2013 did stink as a conflict.
And you probably wouldve enjoyed the old micro community of old.
I was going to see Ben twice (LA and San Diego) back in November but after the cancelation and subsequent announcement about a future announcement/rescheduling it renewed my faith in the possibility of Ben RTTD (not officially the spot RTTD but just him returning<3)
I wanna run my own study just to get the information but it would be extremely skewed because it wouldn't be a good sampling of the general Coachella population, only a data set for the online forum sub-population. That's interesting for sure but I wanna know about THEE festival data. It's got my social science gears going
There was an old interview with Paul talking about demographics and how they were surprised how much crossover in audience there was even in the old days. And it really made scheduling a huge challenge because they were trying to keep the crowds constantly moving around and not camped out at stages.
