Sasquatch/Coachella

[macker]

For those people grumbling about the line-up....who were you expecting to see this year? Who is missing? Give us a list of 5-10 bands that you think were overlooked.

Interesting article I was reading today that reminded me of this :


http://www.gigwise.com/news/70035/Th...Are-Being-Made

All the bands mentioned in that article will be at Coachello this year and would be worth seeing. Many of these bands don't tour very often in the US and are from Europe/UK etc. Many times the more obscure bands steal the show at these festivals and that is the appeal as you go to be introduced to new bands that are just taking off....not to see old standbys that are crashing and burning out.....


Last year :
Empire of the Sun :

This year :
Nero :

Wu Lyf :

The Vaccines :

Year in year out relatively unknown bands put on epic performances at Coachello......think any of these bands will be comming to Calgary anytime soon? Let me know when they do.....not to mention the festival atmosphere....Only problem is picking between bands to see when a couple that you want to see are playing at the same time.

Both weekends sold out in about 3 hours. Insane. Best lineup ever.

I can not freaking wait, this is going to be ridiculous.

I went on right at 11am and got through right away. Whole process took less than 5 minutes. It was quick and painless!

[Hi-Psi]

Yeah same, got my tickets right at 11am! Gonna be crazy!

[username]

My friends coworker was at that waiting page for 2 hours and tried right at 11.

Weird system.

[bosox_fan05]

I was waiting for about 2 hours as well. No tickets. I'm pretty bummed out. I guess I'll have to wait for the Sasquatch lineup or wait until some tickets become reasonably priced to buy on eBay or Stubhub.

[East Coast Flame]

Sasquatch lineup announced tonight. Anyone heading down to this? I'm waiting to see the linuep to decide.

Tenacious D really need to make a new album

EDIT: So I decided to check - and sure enough - ones coming!

" In February 2012 it was revealed that the title of the album would in fact be spelled Rize of the Fenix and will be released sometime in May 2012"

[East Coast Flame]

Wowzers, looks like I'm doing both this year!

The lineup is super top heavy...but Beck, Jack Freaking White, The Roots and PRETTY EFFIN LIGHTS!!!!! Yeah it's going to be a great weekend.

[GreenLantern]

Jack White makes that festival worth attending..

Also cool to see Saskatoon Dogs playing a few big name festivals this year.

[drew24]

Some late additions to the Sasquatch lineup today. Graffiti6, Santigold (the internet seems pretty excited about this) and Of Monsters and Men (who I am very excited for).

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik got added too. He's alright.

[iLoveLamp]

Sasquatch lineup is terrible compared to last year. Glad I'm going to Coachella haha

[Beerfest]

I was hoping to see at least a couple more acts that I was familar with on Sasquatch.


I was really hoping to attend a big music fest this year. After looking at the lineups - In preference, 1. Chaos In Tejas, 2. Coachella 3. Sasquatch, however, I dont think ill be at any of them.

Hopefully Sled Island can get some bands im interested in, i've never been, but plan to go to some shows this year.

I'm getting very excited.....where did you hear that about Warren G and Eminem?

[East Coast Flame]

Warren G tweeted that he will be there, and on Warren G's website he said Eminem is going to be there.

Twitter also exploded yesterday about a supposed soundcheck with an Eminem sighting.

Still taking this all with a grain of salt, but this sounds like it is going to happen.

Holy smokes I am excited! When are you Calgary folk headed down?
