Festival: Coachella
Home for hipsters. CRAP!
Festival: Coachella
3I immediately voted Crap, and this was without thinking about lineups or hipsters or anything.
Apologies for the old fashioned-ness here, but my idea of successful festivals are more like highly congregated events to escape to and have fun, not just an endless list of bands somewhere on some random patch of dried shit.
The location, time, and place of a festival is what makes it the most enjoyable. One can have a great time seeing eh and meh bands if it's a comfortable setting, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Paying half your rent to road trip out to a really atrociously hot and hell-holish place to see lineups of 30 amazing bands, 28 of which will either all overlap or go on after you become tired and restless, hence making you see 3 bands is not a festival. It's a scam.
Of course, I completely blame my old age for the above comments. I'm sure I'd feel very differently if I was more than a decade younger.
But I'm old and cranky, so CRAP AACCH YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN I JUST MOWED THAT THING YOU INGRATES

6they reunited cocteau twins a few years ago making them headline on of the nights. not crap. hipsters? who gives a flying fuck about them

7I've been to three of them and I've enjoyed myself at each one. There aren't any more "hipsters" there than anywhere else I'm going to go. And although I'm much more partial to the intimate nature of a small show, if I had to choose a festival to go to, it would be Coachella. They've got the logistical aspects of running a large festival down to a science.
Oh, and fuck Mars Volta.
