So was it just me or did the Gobi feel smaller this year? Felt like the stage didn’t extend out as far as it has in the past. Couldn’t tell a difference with the Mojave but the Yuma felt a little smaller too.

Can’t speak to the Yuma since I don’t go in there often but the Gobi felt the same to me. It’s felt small ever since they expanded the Mojave; I just can’t tell if it actually got smaller then or if it’s the difference between the two that makes it seem smaller.

Gobi having the back portion covered so the stage wouldnt be in the sun essentially shrunk it down. Cause all that open space behind the soundboard disappeared and you had to watch from the sides or the 2 rear openings. I get they didnt want the 3 acts that wouldve been in the sun to go blind but it did really take away from the audience to just have that space. And giving those cameras an elevated position mightve also been a choice made. Yuma felt the same except they took the rear sitting away? ( unless i didnt notice ) they had way more seating on the sides thats for sure.
my group thought the Gobi was smaller this year, though I'm not entirely sure either. The soundstage was at the very back of the tent and I don't remember that ever being the case before, also there definitely used to be two openings on the sides instead of one - though they may have changed the openings without changing the size of the tent.
There was never a back wall to Gobi. Thats the whole thing everyones glossing over. Thats what shrunk it down. If its totally open then you wouldnt think it changed at all.

It was definitely smaller. I felt that it was smaller even before noticing the specific details. The sound stage was not very far from the stage, but it was at the very back of the tent and it used to be at most like 2/3rds of the way back. Even the arrangement of the chandeliers seems like it was more clustered than it used to be. I'm pretty sure it used to extend at least a bit further out into the grounds. Sitting just outside the back of it felt like sitting in the back of it used to feel. I don't know if the tent was overall just shorter or if they just shifted everything forwards so more of it was taken up by the stage/backstage but it absolutely has less room in it.

Mainly the soundstage is proof. It was at most 10yds further back than where it used to be (cause it still wasn't far from the stage), but there used to be much more room than that behind it
I haven't collected my thoughts yet for a top 10 sets list but this was my 11th Coachella weekend, 10th year of going, and it's definitely in the top 3 for me. The logistics were so smooth - whether that was due to lower sales or the expanded grounds and myriad improvements, everything felt so easy to navigate this year and that enhanced the overall experience so much. Every set I saw was fantastic and several of them were legendary. I managed to get absurdly close to the rail for a few sets (which I don't normally do) and that was incredible as well.
There's also a certain magic to these undercard-centric years, the crowds were awesome all weekend. Personally I would be thrilled if GV gave us another "mid" lineup next year
Looked backed and just looked at videos to see if you can tell the difference with Gobi. So by my count its 10 rows of panels from front of stage to end of the tent in 2019 for Gobi. 2024 is 7. Did they do that because they wanted to make it seem that certain acts would looked packed af or what.
Funny because I felt like the Gobi got smaller in 2022. I didn't go that year but remember watching the livestream and being like "wow they made the tent way smaller". The only things that felt different this year were the raised roof and that back panel but the size felt the same to me. I think this was mostly a good thing because there were years like 2017 (when Gobi and Mojave were essentially the same size) where the Gobi would feel absolutely pathetic if the set was under attended. Flip side, a Barry Can't Swim debacle.
The one where I had to squint and say "did that get smaller?" for me this year was the Mojave, not the Gobi. And that tent definitely had a bunch of packed sets. Harder to tell what overflows from the guest area, but I know I couldn't get anywhere near the guest area for Victoria Monet which was surprising to me, there was an enormous line and that tent was beyond overflowing W2.

Everyone in my group immediately commented on the Gobi being smaller this year. Curious what the thought was there, although outside of Barry Can’t Swim it didn’t seem to be a problem.
This was my 10th year of Coachella and 12th weekend on the fields. Another magical year. It really never fails to deliver. Saw so many incredible sets of music and loved the new Quasar stage - I stayed for most of the 4 hour b3b despite having other acts I wanted to see. No Doubt blew me away. Logistics were smoother this year compared to 2022 and 2023. Can’t wait for 2025!

I was gonna say, the Mojave seemed slightly smaller too but not as pronounced as the Gobi. I’m curious if they “shrank” some of the tents due to the lower sales to make they still feel packed with less people.
Cudi cancelled his whole tour cause of the type of break he suffered. Ouch
weren't people saying this tour was gonna get cancelled anyway due to poor sales? what are the chances he broke that ankle on purpose to save face?? LOLLLLL

I saw that fall on Twitter and that was not on purpose lol. He's lucky to have only broken his foot(/leg)

The insurance company when they saw he broke his heel
I have to say the spread at the coachella artist catering is fantastic. There's like 8 different types of tea, multiple different types of food bars like Sandwiches,pokie bowls,pizza,pasta. I was pretty impressed when I got a steak mealf from cartering.

Bruh I called it the day that tour got announced on here
I hope this becomes a running lineup slot for speculation like RTTD. Who do we think is going to be the one next year to play a guest slot as a way to fake an injury to cancel a badly selling arena tour?
J-Lo's team has to be pissed they didn't think of this idea first.
Glad you all are bringing up the gobi because my wife and I thought it looked tiny compared to previous years. The sound booth was pushed all the way to the back of the tent and overall it seemed like the back of it was cut by 50 yards or so.
Almost bought a No Doubt poster during Matt Taylor’s sale today just to trade for a shirt and decided against it. I have wayyy to many posters at this point. Just hoping No Doubt adds merch to their site.
