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.
Shipping being $35 wouldve been enough to say no. I have bought an artist proof before at a similar price point and was not charged that much to have it shipped.
we should all ask Martin Phillips if he thinks that Quasar is ripping off his Daft Punk pyramid stage design.
I agree that the Palm tress and the ambient visual vibe they had was cool. But to me for the most part was kind of a yawn fest.
Who are realistic extended sets for Quasar for 2025? I’m struggling to think of which DJs are big enough in the US to warrant this
Solomon, Martinez Bros, Detroit Love, Kaskade (redux), and Carl Cox are the immediate names to come to mind for myself but I’m curious what we should expect from this stage next year. Maybe an Ed Banger day?

Armin Van Buuren can easily do 4 hours of trance. Get Sasha and Digweed out of the Yuma and give em the time they would warrant. Tiesto doing a throwback set would get a crowd.
Saw this post on the Outside Lands sub claiming 95k W1 and 82k W2. Obviously no idea if it's accurate or not, but thought it was interesting with all the crowd size discussions.

Not sure if I'll have time to make a Quasar poster with my mock next week but if not, I would go...
W1 FRI - Carl Cox x Anfisa Letyago SAT - Disclosure (DJ Set) SUN - Black Coffee x Idris Elba
W2 FRI - Skrillex x Boys Noize SAT - James Blake x Ben UFO SUN - Above & Beyond (Deep Set)

Idt Sasha and digweed is big enough sadly.
Tiesto for sure- he’s doing a 4 hour set outdoors in nyc in October, at almost exactly the same time of day

I say throw in the Dewaele brothers and James Murphy just so we can get Despacio back (and Soulwax closing our Mojave again)

Its not like Mall Grab had half the festival there when they were on.

After about two weeks I think these were my favorite sets of Weekend 1: 1. Orbital - Masters of their craft. I have seen Orbital a couple times now and every time it is just a next level experience. 2. Justice - Lived up to all the hype and high expectations. Glad I showed up early and grabbed a sick spot. Excited to see the dark version of the set at iii Points. 3. RAYE - This woman must be protected at all costs. Loved everything about her set, she is incredible live, and I can't wait till she does an Outdoor Orchestra set in a few years. 4. Chappell Roan - She is going to be star and I am very glad I got to experience that Gobi set as she is going to be big next album cycle. 5. Jersey - Surprise set of the weekend. An absolute party, my friends and I were getting Fred Again flashbacks from 2022, and they should be on every electronic music fans radar if you enjoy Frenchmen with synths. 6. Tems - Beautiful set, she is criminally underrated (I will say I was impressed at how packed the Mojave got), and she had one of the biggest surprises of the weekend I don't think anyone expected a JB pop up. 7. CDW - I was planning on splitting this set initially and about 5 min into it I realized that was not happening. That Overdrive rig was sick. 8. Tinashe - Super fun set, you could tell she was super glad to finally be performing, and I am very excited for the follow up to BB/Angel. 9. Brutalismus 3000 - Hedonistic set of the weekend such a fun time it felt like everyone was just dancing like crazy. Controversially after this set and CDW, Gesa was a huge let down imo. 10. Victoria Monet - Had high expectations for this set and she met them. This set really had everything going for it and I converted a few friends into fans.
I saw Charlotte last year and it was meh all around for my taste. Easily in the bottom half of the Techno shows I saw last year. Wouldn’t recommend her show being prioritized over a ton of other great acts on Saturday!
I have to say this was a miss from you. I'm glad my friend ended up steering us to her set. It was fucking great.
I know this isn't an accurate source, but the pedi cab guy we took on day 3 said Weekend 2 seemed busier than Weekend 1.
Also believe weekend 2 gets an older crowd overall, more likely to prefer/need a ride by the end of the night ha.
What makes you say this? It seems like most of r/Coachella goes W2 and so many of them seem young and unprepared. I know that's anecdotal though, so just wondering.
I was pretty excited for Charlotte and thought the Weekend 1 livestream looked mind blowing. So Weekend 2 I left Blur after Beetlebum and went to see Charlotte. I was bored as hell within 20 minutes; just way too repetitive. Plus the crowd was one of the douchiest I’ve been around at Coachella.

I guess our experiences were different. TBF, we only caught about 30 min of it so maybe it was just the right amount of time.
I know this isn't an accurate source, but the pedi cab guy we took on day 3 said Weekend 2 seemed busier than Weekend 1.
The first two days W2 didn't ever feel empty or even less full at the actual stages, but all the secondary stuff (e.g. merch and food lines) was an absolute breeze. Then suddenly Sunday it felt like it was just as packed as it had ever been. It was still easy to walk to an area with short lines and stuff, but the one slice of pizza I waited like 10 minutes for was more of a wait than all the other lines I'd been in that weekend put together. Perhaps it was the Doja effect or it was just how my schedule placed me that day, but everyone in my group that I talked to about it agreed.

Sunday evening was the one only time during the entire fest that I had to wait for in a line for the restroom.

I caught half of OPN and about 20 minutes of charlotte. My brain was fried by the end of it (in a good way). And then no doubt got me up and going again only to be killed by gess (I’m dead now. I’m a ghost)

W1 wasn't much different went to snag some merch on Sunday was in and out in 15 min and I went with a friend again on Sunday in and out 15 mins. Same with food never was more than a 15 min excursion for myself or when I was with friends.

This is exactly my experience. Grounds felt standard level of crowded after about 2:30, but lines for food even in GA were a breeze. I think part of it is that now that the beer gardens are not necessary, people do not hang around for food. We'd be in and out in minutes where you might usually spend 30-40 minutes in a beer garden, so I imagine those vendors sales were affected the most.
Then Sunday all of the sudden the grounds felt more crowded in general and everything became a lot harder. We waited in a line at the Do-Lab bar for 15 minutes, for example. That probably wouldn't have even raised an eyebrow for prior Coachellas of course, but after short lines the first two days it was a bit of a shock.
The one exception were the womens bathrooms in the Rose Garden VIP were always crazy mobbed, like I'm out in 30 seconds and spend 10-15 minutes waiting for my wife to be done. I am sure the Sahara bathrooms were too based on W1 but we had been advised not to go there so avoided it.

I can't compare to W1 but the past two years, this festival crowd has felt significantly older. I am 36 now and when I first started going, it used to be that seeing people in their mid-30s was rarer, now there were people in their mid-30s absolutely everywhere and tons of people in their 40s and 50s. I am sure Gorillaz, Blur, Bjork, No Doubt, all that stuff helped a lot but I also feel like we are getting closer to that Euro model where you see people attend festivals far longer into their lives because they grew up with them.

The ones who post are the unprepared ones. Old folks know to read a damn website and then likely ask somebody else for help/answers before going down a rabbit hole or just scroll down.

Glad you enjoyed the set! The set I saw didn’t have an elaborate lighting rig so I’m sure that helped create a dope atmosphere. I watched part of the live stream since I didn’t attend this year, and will be the first to admit that the Coachella show was better than the show I caught in Phoenix, however, as far as my personal taste are concerned I still don’t find CDW to be that good of a DJ. However, if you liked the Charlotte set then check out ØTTA! She plays a lot of psy trance and techno and I personally find her to be a better DJ as far as track selections are concerned.
I went to my first Coachella at age 21 at W2 2016 and most of the people I met were 30 somethings and met 40+ people too (maybe because GNR?), though I did feel certain sets that year were clearly younger like Jack U, G-Eazy, etc.
I've gone W1 every year since. But this year I also felt like most people were 30 somethings (I'm 29 now) and I saw way more 45-50+ folks than usual too which was interesting. But with even less younger 20s/teens even at younger artist sets.

I was 19 for my first one in 2005 and don't recall thinking much about other peoples' ages lol. But I agree - the fest has always had a median age in the lower 30s IMO, but I def saw more 40+ folks this year (W1) than I can recall noticing in awhile (and many of us noticed it). I'd guess the 90s rock + overall cost is the biggest thing driving that.
my group age is generally young 30s, at ISOKnock and LE SSERAFIM we felt like the oldest people in the crowd, then we went to Orbital and felt like the youngest folks in the crowd
