I see the Cult is on the list very far down.  I can't believe Lemmy is still breathing.  It might be my age speaking but the lineup doesn't really do it for me.

They have always tried to be eclectic, but it seems even more so this year.

 

From down tempo post-rock Bonobo to old school punk with The Toy Dolls to folky acoustic with City and Colour/Anthony Green.

 

Probably still won't go. I have family that has a vacation home in Bermuda Dunes on the golf course and they say when this festival goes on it pretty much rocks a large radius that they even hear where they are at.

I've generally felt that way the past few years, but the better half is into quite a bit of these bands/groups/artists so I can run through the list and know quite a few I wouldn't have known about the past few years....and they're pretty good.

Pretty much the only bands I would care about. Seeing the trend for the last few years, I'll be seeing those three bands around the same time in smaller clubs in LA.

its 2 full weekends now - 6 days?

wow. i used to go ever year and it was always just two days.

 

first one with beck, tool and rage was so fun.

Yeah, we actually have been going to a few shows that the bands playing do around SoCal.

It makes sense to do that if you A) Aren't going there just to be "seen"  B) Don't want to spend a grip of money on seeing bands you want to see   C) Don't have the hook ups to go to Coachella

Day 3 looks pretty bad. Any time Queens of the Stone Age are playing, I'm always wanting to go. The only big festival I have done was Lollapalooza and it was an exhausting 3 days

I almost went a year or two ago, I forget which year. I had it lined up to either borrow a nice RV and was just starting to ask friends and was going to do a party dealio or stay at the vacation home....then decided to just buy show tickets for the 2-3 bands that were playing in that free week in between both weekends.

My last lollapalooz experience was in '92 when the Red Hot Chili Peppers headlined it at the Irvine Meadows.  Whoa, that was a long time ago.

When I lived out in Palm Springs, I used to go to this every year.  The lineups the last few years haven't been my cup of tea but this year doesn't look too bad.  Still, three days is too much for me.  I was over it after the two days it was previously.  I remember seeing Arcade Fire there one year on one of the small stages and now they're headlining.  I think the biggest one though was when I saw the Killers play in the small tent in front of maybe 100 people.  It was one of the first shows of the day and nobody even knew who the Killers were at the time.  Now they're huge.

 

And am I missing it or why is DJ Peretz not listed?  Perry Farrell doing his DJ set has been a staple at Coachella it seems.

Beck, radiohead, and the pixies. Sounds like a damn fine concert. Those were the glory days.

Now they have Outkast headlining

The year with the Cure, I thought Robert Smith was going to die on stage.  It was really hot that day and even though it was a night set, I don't think he was very used to the heat.  I remember his make up was literally melting off his face the entire time.  That may have been the same year the lead singer for Thursday collapsed on stage during the middle of their set.

yeah i used to go every year, and that was definitely the most brutal heat wise.

The lineup somehow gets worse every year. This looks like a combination of Warped Tour and Family Values Tour. 

 

haha.

 

i don't see any bands remotely close to the used or limp bizkit.

Doing the same. You're full of shit if you tell me "Muse is worth the price of admission alone!"
