Coachella questions [yes allready]

[Dirty0900]

Figured this would be a good place to ask seeing people from this particular forum go and report on how good it is. Me and a friend are considering flying over and attending in 2009. Pretty much becuase all UK festivals seem a bit samey in the lineup and we assume it will be rain free unlike Glastonbury, Leeds, Global Gathering etc where the weather is reported more then performances.

When do tickets usually go on sale and when does a lineup get posted? With people like Prince playing this year gone, I'm hoping that someone big will play if we go over! Is it a friendly festival so to speak? I've been to plenty of fesitvals in the UK where people acting like dickheads through drinking too much spoils it for me. Not that im against having a good time, but being sick so early in a day just isn't my idea of fun.
