Aphex Twin and Goldfrapp have just been added to the COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL 2008 bill. Kate Nash, Serj Tankian, Redd Kross, and Adele have also joined the line-up (see full list below) for this year's ninth annual festival set for Friday, April 25, Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, CA. |

awww what the... fuck. i bought burning man tix instead of coachella this year.... i CANNOT look at that link. it will make me depressed, seeing all the bands that are playing this year. |

damn dude, no refund? this is awesome, starts after my birthday, itd be a nice present, its not colse to sold out yet is it? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
close* |

|||||||||

3 day tix are the only ones left, and coachella does inevitably sell out each year - this is probably their push to do that. and no refund, im just as stoked for burning man, i just wish i could go to both, but i certainly dont have an extra $350 |

saturday i would be spending the entire day in the rave tent - ed banger-palooza! *sobs* i miss that place. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
damn... I would have gone had I known a month ago....I will be in Hawaii surfing that weekend.... Richard you bastard! |

I'm curious to know how Dan Deacon fairs against a crowd of 8 gazillion out side : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant wait to not listen to death cab for cutie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
considering how low on the list he is, im guessing he'll be playing at one of the smaller tents, mojave most likely, and prolly in the middle of the day. sounds perfect. gaaah so jealous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha you know hes going to play a medicore dj set with techno and rave stuff that only a 35 year old ex E head raver can appreciate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but, its, him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even more reason not to go, the hopes of american aphex twin fans are so enormously high, he hasnt played live here since what 1997? and he busts out a hilariously lackluster DJ set like hes been doing in europe for the past 5 years, people will be very very angry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
recently aphex is only playing in big festivals, isnt it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont you think because of kraftwerk and others like portishead, isnt that a good reason for him to show up? i dont care if doesnt care at all about his fans, but ive never been to cali and i just think of it as a good thing to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing is, when bands that havent played/played in the us for a while/ever open at coachella, it is fucking EEEEEPIIIIIC see: daft punk, ratm, justice... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he played LA ATP in 2002, fucking good sounding set too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea I liked the ATP set. I think some of his dj sets are pretty good, especially considering the amount of unreleased material he usually plays. I mean, listen to the snowbombing set, or the Torino Italy set. Those have some pretty rad stuffs in them. But yea it would be nice to get a RDJ set without the crap hip hop and some of the gayer jungle stuffs he spins. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean id just rather him not spin and play live, is that too much to ask for? im really sick of paying to watch people spin records |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea, it would be really nice to have a complete live set by Aphex. I mean, I think it is a pretty big ripoff for Aphex to charge as much as he does when essentially you are only paying for the name and maybe two or three unreleased or rare tracks. I don't get the big name djs at all while we are on the subject. I mean, when it comes to djing, it should just be about good music played loud. Not about the dj himself. I wouldn't mind if he only spun his own music though. Because considering the amount of hardware that went into the Tuss and Analord records, it isn't really reasonable for him to perform that live. I mean, he hasn't played live with hardware since like 94-95 or so right? I mean, the 97 tour was all computer I think yes? I just seems really cheap of him to charge God knows how much for just him playing his record collection in an "artistic" fashion. Go Ae lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If someone offered me shitloads of money for a dj set I would agree to do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when will it sell out of 3day tickets? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"I just seems really cheap of him to charge God knows how much for just him playing his record collection in an "artistic" fashion." unfortunately rook you and i seem to be some of the only aphex fanboys to find this unacceptable, quite a lot of them are ready and willing to get a huge meat injection up the butthole in order to tell there friends they saw aphex twin 'live' when in fact they saw him on 80mg oxycontin play 12 records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's no telling when dude. if they announced when tix would sell out, there'd be no insentive to buy them earlier, and then they wouldnt sell out. just get em while you can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"daft punk, ratm, justice." Play to the mob 'rock' mentality which is great in a festival situation. Don't expect another Daft Punk event hedphukkerr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im just saying, when bands play coachella, they try and do it BIG! sure, richie will prolly just be taking the piss of it all, but there will be enough girl-pant-wearing pitchfork-reading indie fanbois there to make it an event to see none the less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay but it's not going to be Rage against the machine or Justice. I went to the last Coachella, it was fun but way to hot during the day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well its the desert, thats to be expected. one of the best tips i could give to coachella first timers would be to go to all the trash cans and pick out as many empty bottles as possible because when you bring 10 empty bottles to the recycling tents, they give you a free bottle of water. Wandering around the sahara/rave tent after a set makes this even easier. also, bring a few packets of emergen-c with you - saves you the trouble of spending extra cash on gatorade. then sometime in the day buy a salted pretzel to make sure you dont get exsalinated. hydration at coachella is key and knowing how to deal with that shit makes it infinitely more enjoyable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you expecting the showmanship of Daft Punk at the Aphex live thing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh hell no, i dont think anyone could ever top dp's coachella performance. im not gonna spend any time imagining what afx's set could be like considering im not gonna be going. the closest thing i would say would be to expect something new, different. not just new tuss tracks or something, but i bet he'll be blowing the lid off something big. a coachella performance can make or break a bands tour, and they know this, so people always wanna make some kind of spectacle at the event. |
||||||||

|
Which bands were made or broken by their Coachella performances? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
slayer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Reign in Blood has nothing to do with that fanny festival. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i can't say too many specifics cuz you can't really make statements about such speculations, but i just know from what ive seen happen with word of mouth/internet, a good coachella performance certainly gives a band tons of exposure. daft punk is a perfect example - they were a big band before hand, but coachella spawned a new crowd of an absolutely devout fanbase, of which i am a proud member. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, another was hot chip, whose dancier live show gave people a different taste of their studio efforts. and justice had already culled a much larger base on the internet than what i had expected (i was very surprised at the number of make-shift crosses in the crowd), but after that show it was a given that they were going to be the biggest thing in electro-dance music since dp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Daft Punk did a totally mainstream GAP worldwide advert. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah but that was when discovery came out, nearly 5 years before coachella. at the time, people had kind of forgotten about them: human after all was a bit of a disappointment and without any live shows for a decade there wasnt much to keep people interested. what im saying is that coachella created an entirely new fan base on top of those who had been fans from before, and it seriously catapulted dp back into the realm of super-stardom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
" justice had already culled a much larger base on the internet than what i had expected" I was going to take a pedantic stance on the use of 'culled' but I won't. The manager of Daft Punk (Pedro Winter (Busy P)) plants Crosses in the audience. Not him but employees of the... whatever. I'm ruining it. forget it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"I was going to take a pedantic stance on the use of 'culled' but I won't." my, how big of you :P okay, so they pass out promo material - every band does that. theres not much to ruin for me, all im saying is coachella is known for having big performances by big artists as well as leading to a lot of smaller band getting discovered by a large number of people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who? Which bands are you talking about that owe alot to Coachella? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um about any smaller band who played there - the exposure you get at a festival like that is quite high. im just speaking from experience, its not like i've culled any data on the subject or anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So you are talking shite from you experience. |
