Flying into Palm Springs direct is the way if you can swing it. So worth it
If it was just me, that is what I would do. However I go with a few people on here and one lives in SD. We all meet at her house Wednesday night and do our grocery shopping etc. then leave out together the next morning. It's our tradition... plus I like seeing the ocean. I miss living in SD
At least the SD > PS drive is nice! Leagues better than the LA drive
Re: Lana discussion, the reason she is a headliner (and arguably the biggest draw out of the alleged three) is because of that last festival run. She had a bigger crowd than Foo Fighters at OSL and her Lollapalooza crowd was insane. Her days were also the first to sell out immediately, same situation with Primavera now. She absolutely did not have a smaller crowd size than Boygenius; she played the later slot at that festival aka the headlining slot, a lot of the fans for Boygenius were camping for Lana. Be serious.
She also played Foro Sol two nights in a row (65,000 capacity) and BST Hyde Park (65,000 capacity) sold out. Her recent tour sold out in two minutes (~20k capacity venues) and she’s the second most streamed female only behind Taylor for almost 1 1/2 years now consistently.
I rest my case.
By that logic since Peso Pluma had more global streams shouldn't he be headlining?
I have no issue with Lana as a headliner. But claiming that she's some slam dunk #1 because she grabbed a bigger crowd then the Foo Fighters is more of a testament to the Foo Fighters being a super stale booking.

100% we go through the mountains, too. It is beautiful.
Okay I'll say it: it's time for a Coachella cum leak, even if its just a dribble. GV can only give us blue balls so many times before someone blows a load so messy that it scrambles the lineup placements.
Just looking at artists who can fill SoFi Stadium (since we’re looking at comparable to Taylor, Beyonce & The Rolling Stones): Travis Scott, Green Day (if making a deal with LN), Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Metallica, Pink, Imagine Dragons, Kaskade, Billy Joel.
Do I want to see those artists? NO. But saying Lana is the only other stadium-level artist (which she has to play, btw) is false
Ok maybe I was a bit underestimating some acts ability to fill a stadium, but it's Coachella so I still stand by the need for the headliners to have "popularity + critical acclaim" which LDR has. Coachella gets torn to shreads in public comments and media if they book Green Day, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Metallica, Pink, Imagine Dragons, Kaskade, or Billy Joel as a #1 (regardless of how well each of them do at SoFi). Also SoFi actually being in LA helps them. Soccer moms aren't driving their kids out to Indio for an Ed Sheeran/Imagine Dragons music festival, but Inglewood is not a big deal
Oh shit, just got further clarification. Apparently the third headliner decided they didn't like the newly picked subs of the other two headliners and invoked their veto power, which pissed off the other two headliners (and their subs), who then retaliated by vetoing the third headliners sub. So GV is now scrambling to find three new subs while juggling the demands and veto power of all three subs.
If only GV could have avoided this by picking their own subs rather than handing that power to the headliners. But hey, policy is policy.
okay the delulu isn't fun any more, it's just exhausting
LOL. Some of y'all need to recalibrate your sarcasm meters.

No because Peso Pluma hasn’t been around since 2012 or built a critically acclaimed discography. This stupid comparison 😭
Ngl I would be a little surprised though if Coachella has no stadium level act as a headliner
This is where my head is at. I feel like they have set the standard that there will be at least one massive act. Last years headliners were not for me, but I know they all had big followings. I actually was glad I didn't want to see any of the headliners- they just drew the crowd away from where I was.

You need a critically acclaimed discography to headline Coachella now?
