Sasquatch/Coachella

[J pold]

Flume last night was insane. Packed to the nines but such an amazing set. I love this place.

Coachella was amazing this year, my second favorite ever.

Outkast was a disaster. What a dumpster fire that was. Girl Talk and Chromeo had just destroyed the main stage and then Outkast comes on and plays an hour of solo slow jams? What the hell is that? Andre looked like he couldn't care less. Big Boi at least tried to bring it, but to top it all off they have Future come and take a steaming hot #### right on the middle of the stage. Holy moly. And THEN you cut off Killer Mike?!??! God damn.

Thankfully Arcade Fire was amazing, that is how you put on a show. Chromeo, Girl Talk and Calvin Harris were amazing dance parties. Beck totally surprised me and brought the funk. Awesome set.

Future Islands, Trombone Shorty, CHVRCHES, HAIM, Capital Cities, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Pet Shop Boys, Skrillex and Blood Orange were some of my other favorites.

The Outdoor stage was a cluster#### this year. Couldn't get anywhere close to Disclosure or Lana Del Rey. Pharrell and Lorde were also crazy packed and we couldn't see anything because of the lowered screens...but they sounded great?

Best guest apperances: ASAP Rocky during Skrillex and Fat Busta Rhymes during Girl Talk. The GF loved Gwen Stefani during Pharrell and Beyonce during Solange.

The heat was pretty rough this year and really got to a couple people in our group. Sunday especially.

Hard to believe another year over and done with. Good times!

I take it you were there for both weekends?

[East Coast Flame]

Just Weekend 1. I stayed down in California for a week and lazed around the beach working off my Coachella hangover.

Was anyone there for the fake Daft Punk cameo during Arcade Fire? Apparently the place went nuts....at least initially.

Hahah heard about it from a buddy who was hooking up with some random chick and apparently there was a stampede to the stage.

Man what an awesome weekend. Sets that stood out for me was:

Flosstradamus. Oh man what a rowdy party. It was so cool seeing sooooo many people spilling out of both sides of the tent just rocking it to 420 day. The cops were on a platform in the middle filming everyone and even though I didn't toke, Im pretty sure I got baked from all the 2nd hand smoke. What an awesome awesome set.

Adventure club. I had no idea they were Canadian and they played a very emotionally charged set with some incredible visuals.

Nicole Moudaber. Inside the Yuma tent was a real cracker den but it was A/C and hardwood floor with some pretty trippy visuals. I love techno and she didn't disappoint. Went inside for the closing set on Sunday and it was jam packed. Awesome tent that was built like a nighclub and totally reminded me of the Warehouse days when it was open here.

Gareth Emery. I've been a fan of his long before he rocked festivals like this and it was nice to see him play once again. That remix of Tiesto's traffic was by far the most epic song I heard all weekend.

Queens of the Stoneage. Awesome set and the lead singer was so cool. He got the camera man to zoom in on a guy who was doing sign language and the crowd just went nuts. So cool to see stuff like that at Coachella. Even those that were hearing impaired were able to enjoy it.

Also can't forget about the Glitch Mob. Wow,best visuals of the festival. Totally blew me away with their visuals and style.

I think the tent beside Sahara was Mojave? Whatever it was called, every time I walked by to take a leak I had to stop in there and listen to whomever was playing. So many good tunes in that tent as well.

So many more too. Best part though was just how damn friendly everyone was. I didn't see a single issue with violence or fights or anything. You could just make random conversation with literally anybody and you would immediately hit it off. I liked this festival way better then Ultra and would go back in a heartbeat.

Not going to Sasquatch but headed there for the first time in Aug for Dave Matthews Band Labor Day Weekend! Really looking forward to it, any tips or info you get from this weekend pertaining to the gorge would be awesome! Have a blast!!

Nice! This will be Sasquatch number 4 for me, so definitely not my first rodeo.

Biggest tip: Bring a good size backpack with lots of clothing options. The weather changes very quickly so you don't want to have to walk 45 minutes each way to your campsite (it's really far!) to get a hoodie just as Dave Matthews is going on.
