DISQUS

Justin · 11 months ago

I'd love to go to Coachella after hearing how great it has been the past few years, but Atlanta, GA is little far from Cali. I'll probably go to Bonnaroo or Lollapalooza....but I'd rather go to Lagerado!

naeem · 11 months ago

lollapalooza!! i feel ashamed of not having been to a lollapalooza show yet..and i live in chicago

Carrie · 11 months ago

Definitely not going to Coachella because I live on the East Coast, but I'm definitely going to Siren since I missed it last year. And since it's, you know, free.

Carrie · 11 months ago

Another free Brooklyn music festival I plan on hitting up, Afro-Punk.

Suzanne · 11 months ago

I won't be going to Coachella - planning for something - just don't know what. I'd love to win the tickets!!

Dana · 11 months ago

Bonnaroo, for sure! Thinking about those sweaty summer days in Manchester is getting me through this harsh winter...

Sudipa · 11 months ago

I am probably not going to go to Coachella considering I'm on the east coast, but I've been to Lolla the past two years and absolutely loved it! However, I've been dreaming of Langerado and was SO close to going last year, but it just didn't work out! I would LOVE to go!!

Katie · 11 months ago

As a poor college kid in the NW, Sasquatch is realistic, but Coachella is a dream!

Warwick · 11 months ago

Coachella is out for me this year, but hoping to get to Sasquatch finally. No Pemberton Festival this year either, so I'm hoping the Whistler Festival returns bigger and better (Elvis Costello, BSS, and others played at a very under-attended festival the week before Pemberton).

Sean · 11 months ago

Bamboozle '09. No Doubt and fucking Paramore and tons of others. We've already spoken about this. I'm still counting on that 100 bucks if I can get you what I promised. I'm dead serious. I'm considering setting up PayPal right now because I'm so confident I could get it to happen. Or maybe I'll be an asshole and just not do it. Or do it, and show it to you, and then take it down from youtube, just so you can't post it. hahahahahahahahahaha

Jennie P · 11 months ago

No Coachella, I'm on the East coast, but I'm looking forward to Osheaga in Montreal. It's pretty new but the line-ups have been killer for the past few years.

Tony Cushman · 11 months ago

I can't afford to go down to Coachella, but am hoping to check-out some cheaper festivals this summer. My buddy and I drove down to Langerado a couple years back from Halifax (NS, Canada) in one 36-hour shot. I still have the shirt off Girl Talk's back as a memento. I still owe my friend $1,500 for the trip though, so it would be a dream to win some free tix to hit him back ;).

Marcia Howard · 11 months ago

I've got hope to head to coachella from ny with friends this spring. Fingers crossed and money willing.

Next option. Bonnaroo.

Patrick Mahan · 11 months ago

Coachella would be nice.. Langerado is most likely the closest for me but money would be my only problem.

So if i were to go to a festival, Langerado would probably be it.

Rowie · 11 months ago

I'm not going to Coachella but I'm saving money up for Siren since it's close and I can only afford close, haha. I haven't been to a music festival yet either.

Rowie · 11 months ago

Oh man, I forgot about All Points West, that's the festival I'm actually meaning to save up money for and is close too.

Confusion · 11 months ago

I'd love to go to Coachella, but it's too far, plus there's plenty of good music on the east coast.

Adam B · 11 months ago

Went to Coachella 2005-07 (NIN! ChemBros! Daft Punk! Rage! Willie Nelson!). Made the conscious decision to try Lollapalooza in '08 -- missed Portishead live in Indio but caught the whole thing on Blue Room so there's that -- and had an awesome time. I'm sure some of the rumoreds and confirmeds are going to make Coachella '09 spectacular, but based on last year's hype I'm giving All Tomorrow's Parties New York a try in September.

FWIW, the Langerado lineup's pretty ace, too.

Marcus · 11 months ago

I'm going to the New Orleans Jazz Fest (since its two miles away) and Bonnaroo this year, but if I had the money I'd go to every major fest.



P.S. Jack Johnson played at Bonnaroo last year too.

Chad · 11 months ago

Being a poor college student I'm trying to start scraping some cash together now for Bonnaroo, which after going last year make me yearn for a second trip. I'd cut off my pinky finger though for some Langerado tickets.

Step · 11 months ago

I'm not going to Coachella unless miracles happen but I'd use the hell out of that water bottle, let me tell YOU.

Jessica · 11 months ago

fuck YES im going to coachella. and bonaroo. and lollapalooza. it'll be broke for a year but it'll be worth it cause then i'm going to college and i won't be able to steal money from my parents anymore

Mike · 11 months ago

WAT?! How about Ultra in Miami, it has a killer electronic lineup. Coachella has taken too long to get the lineup out and I haven't been interested since they went to 3 days (I did enjoy 05 when I went though).

Edward · 11 months ago

The line-up right now isn't great enough to justify the work it would take to get to the West Coast for me.

I just wish I'd been there last year to see Prince....

tyler · 11 months ago

I'd love to go to Coachella! the lineup looks perfect

tyler · 11 months ago

But Langerado looks tens times better

Wesley Brouillette · 11 months ago

I dont think i'll be going to Coachella but I really am considering Bonnaroo. I cant wait to see the line-up, which should be announced soon i believe. Coachella is something I plan on doing sometime just not this year, unfortunately.

erica lee · 11 months ago

I would love to go to Coachella if it wasn't so far away (I'm in Ohio). But last year I went to Rothbury & I think that's the number one on my list. Amazing!

Tony EnOrbita · 11 months ago

Hit me with em' tickets! I have looking for the opportunity to attend for the first to one of this famous summer festivals in America. I have had the fortune to go in Europe to several and they were sick. SXSW actually sounds amazing this years. Specially since they have 3 Colombian bands in the line-up which will for sure set that fucking place on fire. It really doesn't mater where you end up as long as you end up somewhere hopefully with no permanent scars.

mike · 11 months ago

i will still be in school during coachella so i doubt i will be going although it would be great to go...planning on goin to some awesome fetivals and other shows throughout the summer though...Langerado looks pretty feckin' awesome!

josh · 11 months ago

i wanna go to a festival this year so maybe coachella if i can get out there, or Langerado which is during my spring break

Kayla · 11 months ago

Ack! I actually had this conversation with some friends earlier tonight. I would love to go to Coachella this year (never been before) but I don't think I'll have enough fundage to hit Coachella by april- most of my friends won't either. Since I live in Texas, the sentiment has been to go to sxsw in the spring (if anything), and then maybe bonaroo in the summer (in lieu of ACL Fest). I will definitely hit at least one festival outside of Texas this year though!

Alice · 11 months ago

Went to Lollapalooza last year and it was great. Unfortunately, I'm going to be out of the states during all the summer music festivals. But! It does mean I'll be in Europe during Glastonbury, Roskilde, Rock Werchter, Benicassim, and a bunch of others. I've heard amazing things about all of them, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to save enough of my money to at least hit up one.

Ilgaz · 11 months ago

Absolutely nothing better than Coachella!!!

Terence! · 11 months ago

It's never too early to talk about festivals! I think this year will be the year of the festivals and we will definitely be seeing some new ones popping up soon.

Steven · 11 months ago

Not coachella this year. bonnaroo for sure!

Sam · 11 months ago

It's definitely not too early to talk about the festival circuit...I probably don't have the money to do Coachella, so I'm still not sure about that one. Probably a no, but if the lineup is orgasmic, I might try to rack up a little debt to do it...I'll be on the East coast for the summer, so hopefully they'll do All Points West again. I'll definitely go to APW and maybe Lollapalooza if the money and lineup is right. Would love to go to Lagerado, though...

Matt · 11 months ago

I would love to go to Coachella the line up looks great, but sadly i live on the east coast so it seems very unlikely. All Points West is the way to go considering its wayy closer.

Connor Delaney · 11 months ago

I wish I could go to Coachella but it's still during my school year, so I'll be looking to go to other music festivals.

Janel · 11 months ago

Coachella's not in the plans as of yet, but I'm graduating this year (finally!!) and so hoping to celebrate the best way possible this summer - being blown away by ridiculously good music.

deanr · 11 months ago

Def. not too early to talk about music fests. Although the season might be for Chicago(home) and Midwestern fests, sharing rumors about which artists are coming is always fun. I'm looking forward to Lagerado since its much closer (time/locale) right now.

Logan · 11 months ago

I'm in LA and got to see one day (Sat) of Coachella last year but I'm not sure I'm gonna have the cash this year. I was already kind of planning on flying to Miami to visit my sister and go to Langerado. Free tix would be awesome!

Finchmeister · 11 months ago

I was informed today by a cute girl at my college in NYC that "If you got tickets for Langerado, I'd drive us down and owe you for life". Now, she happens to be Orthodox Jewish (and in a pre-arranged marriage, I think) but if I/we got this hookup, the ecstasy just might transcend religious barriers, and I would shout out 'PMA!' to the heavens.

Emely · 11 months ago

I've been wanting to go to Coachella ever since my friend from L.A. talked about it and we saw pictures of it from Mark the Cobrasnake, but I'm a poorly college student who can't go. But since my school's in Chicago, I'll definitely be going to Lollapalooza!
