Sasquatch/Coachella

[username]

Is anyone going to Ultra in Miami next month? I'm trying to see if any of my buddies are willing to go. The line up looks unreal.

[SebC]

What would you do for Coachella tickets?

You know, I've wanted to go to Shambala for years, but it's a little too late in the summer for me. I'll need to be back at work by then.

[GreenLantern]

Any other musical festivals that are closer to the prairies? Any word if Virgin fest will even be around this year in Canada?

Not my cup of tea, and certainly not comparable to the bigger festivals, but I might take a trip up to see Sublime with Rome & A Perfect Circle.

[GreenLantern]

That was from a past year..

So Sasquatch has been sold out for a few weeks now. Will they be releasing more passes closer to the date or have I just missed the boat?

[Weiser Wonder]

Missed the boat, unfortunately. Although people selling their tickets tend to lower their selling price as the festival nears.

For Sasquatch yea, I managed to get (2) 3 day passes and a camping pass for 400$ off of Kijiji for the 2009 show. Decent enough price I guess.

[Hi-Psi]

I'm seriously considering hitting up Sasquatch, have wanted to go for years. Would also like to go to Boonstock for the Dance Tent, I saw Steve Aoki in Miami earlier this year and his set was insane!

[Torture]

Loving the live feed...so much good music.

[Torture]

Please tell me somebody else here watched that Mumford and Sons performance. Absolutely unreal!
And to think we still have Arcade Fire to look forward to tonight.

[JohnnyB]

I may not be able to make it to any festival shows back in Canada this summer, but I think I've got my problem sorted as there is going to be a great looking festival in Lisbon just around when I'm going to be out there. Think I will spend my week and a bit following the conference I'm out there for just cycling around the countryside and hanging out at Optimus Alive.

[jar_e]

For anyone interested...Arcade Fire is just taking the stage...going to be starting with the month of may guessing by the intro video.

[Hack&Lube]

If you're in California at this time, I would personally go see Prince who is playing 21 nights the Los Angeles Forum. IMHO, the best guitarist and live performer in the world. Prince headlined Coachella two or three years ago IIRC.

Tickets are only $25 as he explained: "$25 is what we used to pay for concerts. Then somebody called TicketMaster came in. Now we're showing who the real ticket master is and putting the right price on it."

What was the deal with all those lit-up balloons in the crowd during Arcade Fire? Pretty cool.

[DownInFlames]

Very cool indeed. I'm glad I watched that. Arcade Fire live never disappoints.

[East Coast Flame]

So did anyone else go? What an insane weekend. I still haven't recovered yet, one of the greatest experiences of my life.

The Arcade Fire set was absolutely legendary. I can't even begin to describe the feeling of just unbelievable joy smacking giant balloons around while screaming the WHOOOOO part to Wake Up with 50,000 + people.





Any music fan should definitely try and make the trip down at least once. It is indrescribable. I am for sure going next year, regardless of the lineup.
