Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Festival • Page 140

ready for that surprise warm up set from JT right before his tour starts since it’s already on the west coast

 

Yeah if they had the most popular artist on the planet rn playing it would’ve def helped ticket sales

 

Taychella would be miserable now haha, just a bunch of Swifties not respecting any other artist

 

There's no chance. Would be way to expensive to get him and he would be the headliner over any others on the bill, which likely would be out of their contracts.

 

steve just let me have something to believe since im just so meh on it this year

 

Did you check out all the artists you don't know yet? Maybe you'll find some new gems?

 

me making Cobra listen to Chappell Roan

 

there’s literally like 5 artists im even considering checking out that aren’t ones I already know

 

I’ll listen eventually but that’s one of the ones Mikey told me about

 

Her album goes back and forth between fun and extremely annoying

 

Chappell is so good and hopefully on every festival lineup

 

bleachers
Chappell Roan
Grimes
Lana Del Rey
L’Imperatice
Oneohtrix Point Never

is the list of the I’ll check out eventually

 

There's some very cool under-the-radar stuff imo;

Fri: Upchuck, and Narrow Head
Sat: Mandy Indiana, Oneohtrix Point Never, Erika De Casier, bar italia
Sun: feeble little horse (one of the best doing guitar music rn), Jockstrap, Bb Trickz

 

go tell that to the delusional people on inforoo and Reddit who think Tyler is the more popular artist over JT.

 

I checked out Narrow Head recently and dug what I heard! Need to check the rest of these out soon

 

He's definitely more popular specifically with reddit youths haha

 

a artist I keep forgetting is on the lineup that I’m pretty stoked to see is Tems. She should be great

 

They tried to get Talking Heads. I’m not surprised they tried after the doc and them reuniting for it but I’m also not surprised Talking Heads turned it down.

 

Interesting read. Especially the part about No Doubt having no plans to tour further past Coachella.

Aside from Talking Heads and Oasis, what would be some other big reunions Coachella would gun for?

 

If I remember correctly, they have made offers to reunite The Smiths

 

yeah and Morrissey told them he'd rather eat his own balls

 

I remember Paul Toller saying that he would make an offer for a Smiths reunion every year, and would make the whole fest vegan if they agreed…..BUT given all of Morrisseys antics over the past 5 years I would’ve assumed they lost interest.
Then again, they always go after Kanye despite his track record (although I’d hope his Nazi era was the final straw)

 

I think Paul offers a blank check to Talking Heads, The Smiths and Daft Punk every single year lol

 

I don't know if there any feasible reunions that would be big enough, REM is never happening, maybe Weezer with Matt Sharp but that would probably be too niche

 

I can’t think of headliner level acts , but just thought about The Alabama Shakes, would be a good second line reunion. Lower line reunions Against Me and Modern Baseball.
Surprised they never got the reunited Bikini Kill to play. Seemed like that quintessential Coachella act that has music nerd buzz but would play to like 100 people at the fest.
