I saw Roger Waters do Dark Side Of The Moon in Hyde Park in 2006 and it was absolutely one of the best concerts I've ever had the pleasure of attending. Enjoy.

I've been to all but two Coachellas (missed the second one and last year) and even got a motel room two months ago but this line-up isn't that appealing to me. but then again, they have a history of dropping a few great middle-tier bands after the initial announcement. I was hoping Radiohead and Underworld might be at this one, would have made sense with their touring schedule (Radiohead to play US in May; Underworld, well they're on tour and have played there every time on tour). oh well, might be another 'skip' year.

only real interests are: Fri - Verve, Sat - Portishead and Kraftwerk, Sun - Roger Waters and Spiritalized.

Looks like I'm coming down from Norway this year. Me and another 3 friends all have our birthdays in the end of April, so it'll be our present to ourselves, with friends of course. Decent line-up, but as mentioned, not perfect. Not too hot about the Ed Banger vibe anymore. It burned out quickly for my part. Portishead is a winner though!

hmm....

I'm wondering if I should get a hotel room or not... I don't mind camping
but I've I'm there with a g/f... that might suck & I don't like the idea of being grubby from camping and going straight to the airport

but it looks like the closest hotel is still 20 min away

anyone know if they're going to do shuttle services?

It's probably not new to people here, but it was to me. Per Coachella's website, Prince has been added to the lineup to headline Saturday night. That should be interesting. I wonder when the last time Prince did a festival show.

yea ...but
there's no way I'm going to miss Portishead for Prince!!!

they also added Aphex Twin & Goldfrapp as well...

oh and btw - I'm def gonna be there, but making it in on friday a bit late (probably) and will almost definitely have to leave early on sunday...

[joethelion]

so who's going?

I'll definitely be there all day on Friday & Saturday, going to have to leave a bit early on Sunday (early flight on Monday morning out of San Diego, so I pretty much HAVE to drive back Sunday night)

and i decided on getting camping passes as well, much easier & we won't have to drive back and forth each day

So how was it for all here that went? From what I've read online so-far, Portishead was fantastic, and Prince tore up 'Creep'. I found some good quality YouTubes of Prince, and wanted to share before they get taken down.
