Well... They've done it again. Coachella has another stellar line-up. Incredible Headliners, a very solid lineup of mid-listers, and good low-listers, featuring many recent chart-toppers, international superstars, and buzz-worthy bands of late.
Some major Lineup highlights:
The reunion of Outkast! I mean, come on! That's gonna be cooler than a polar bear's toenails. Ohh hail....
A live performance by The Knife; a band known for being recluses and how rarely they do a live show, (especially in this country). A rare and wild treat I guarantee!
The indie legends Neutral Milk Hotel, who have only recently returned to the stage to fulfill the dreams that indie fans thought would never come true. I still don't believe I'll ever have a chance to see them.
Arcade Fire. Besides being a fantastic band, with a fantastic discography, they have a history of making their Coachella appearances epic. At their 2011 show, they dropped 2,000 balloons with synchronized LED lights. Here is a video. Here is how it was done. More Videos. So I would not miss this show.
Empire Of The Sun has been putting on exceptionally visually-rewarding shows on their recent tours. A friend of a friend took these amazing photos at their show at the 9:30 Club in D.C in September 2013. From the little bit I could see at Sasquatch 2013, I would recommend catching this novelty set, as it should be awesome.
I'd be willing to bet Muse puts on a damn good show.
Some other highlights of bands I would love to see: Broken Bells, Sleigh Bells, Washed Out, The Head And The Heart, Foxygen, Disclosure, Lana Del Rey, Surfer Blood, CHVRCHES.
AND MANY MORE!!!!! (after I do a bunch of festival research)
So who wants to go??? You have 1 day to decide!!!!!
If it is even possible to get tickets, you should snatch them up, because they go very very fast.
