we may have to have conversations if it gets down to 140K
No, let’s have some conversations now. What’s everyone’s favorite thing to get at a Chinese restaurant?
anything on the back page of the menu that's weirdly translated, like twice braised potato pork or something, it's always way better than sesame chicken and the like
Tommy Richman has another one with Devil Is A Lie, if I'm Paul I'm booking him as soon as I can so I can keep the billing demands in check lol. He is about to blow.
So Coachella sold 161K/250K possible? I’m sure they made a profit but that doesn’t seem promising. I’m sure a knockout lineup next year moves that to 200K but another slow lineup we may have to have conversations if it gets down to 140K
I'm sure Billboard has already commissioned a thorough internal review of their mid-April article sourced directly from the PR department at GV claiming 200k tickets were sold when the reality was 160k.
Some people saw through it immediately. Others, not so much.

Yeah I feel like you gotta lock him in ASAP before he builds up to an album.

Im more surprised it was as even as it was. W1 felt more full.
Original R.E.M. Line Up...Bill Berry back on drums....much bigger crowd than Blur for sure!!
Maybe. But I saw their final tour with The National and Modest Mouse opening and they couldn’t even fill a shed-style amphitheater. There was tons of room in the Ga grass areas.
I just doubt the general public who attend Coachella now care about REM at all.
Let's call it like it was, after New Adventures In Hi-Fi....they kinda just phoned it in. But for the nostalgia of it...Shiny Happy People or What's the Frequency Kenneth on the Fields....that would be something...but it's never gonna happen

They'd just demand to be higher last minute like everybody else.
Idk if anyone is at Fred but Jesus Ticketmaster took an absolute shit. Tickets won’t load for half our group idk what they are going to do lol
Glad to know it wasn’t just me. I def should have put it in my wallet but I got it last minute. I had to go on mobile, pretend to list it for sale then it came to my wallet. I hope it worked out for everybody

My instant Fred again-Coachella 2025 thoughts after the coliseum 1. Ok yes he could technically be a headliner but I still think a weak one and you should have better options. I would must rather he be Sunday main sunset or outdoor closer. 2. Tonight reminded me of what I heard in the after commentary on Hacks this season. “Frat culture is timeless”. The kids are progressing and smarter than we are but no matter what dumb frat culture still lives and it was alive and present there. 3. But I will say Fred again could only ascend like he has in a generation where it’s ok for college males to cry so that’s a plus. (I attribute a lot of that to Frank ocean ironically)
Overall great show. I know we said he just has this market in LA/NY and once he tours demand and venue size may go down but idk. He may have hit something here with these college stadiums. That show was USC’d out. Which is ready cause I’m pretty sure they’re not even in school.

I guess a bunch of people went to will call to try and resolve the issue.
So how full was it?
And I dont know why a bunch of people expected their seats to be there in the lower levels, but once the nosebleed peeps realize no tickets were being checked they went at it. Seems to left a bad taste for the people who dropped $150 only to lose their seat to the ones that got the $20 tix.

I was in the nosebleeds so it was empty around me. Can’t speak for below but like you said. No security checking so I could have went down. I would have if I wasn’t with 8 other people who got tickets this morning so we were just there to dance real quick but Fred did mention there was a seating issue. My friend who had tickets in the 100s couldn’t get her seat cause it was full. I imagine her experience was much worse than mine lol
Not even to mention the people standing on top of the walkway at the end. Fucking college kids.

maybe they should have paid Swift(x2) the $50m she wanted.
REM has declined Coachella multiple times and the problem isnt money. It might make more sense at Stagecoach or Cruel World anyways, maybe some branding tweaks.

Yeah. That was total bullshit from the vids I saw. I was surprised there didnt appear to be any guards at spots on the walkway? That wouldve stopped it much faster. And part of it broke. We wouldnt have heard the end of this if somebody got hurt. I was already picturing the EDC 2010 trampling if people were gonna try to jump down to the floor last night.

Lol what? REM at Stagecoach? Yeah, no. Of the 3, Stagecoach is the least on brand. Cruel World > Coachella > Stagecoach.
And the issue is they don’t want to reunite. It’s not branding.

It's crazy to me that I saw Fred at a tiny venue like the Roxy just like 3 years ago (even though I know he could've sold out a larger venue even then) and then seeing him at a stadium show last night.
My biggest take away from last night is that flight fm hits just as hard as I thought it would live.
I was at the show last night (at least for about an hour). I paid $18 for my ticket and the show was exactly worth that much lol. I had mixed feelings about his live show at Coachella two years ago, and this confirmed that it’s not for me. I also think he’s just so cringey. Regardless, some parts of the show was still fun and the production/sound was decent.

i really like him but i can see why people dislike the cheesiness of his music. i think his melodrama appeals to my midwest emo enjoyment lol. i do think the middle part of delilah pull me out of this is incredibly cringe tho
