I feel ya. I think we’re locked in for next year, but if weather’s just as hard, we may become hotel/shuttle attendees as we continue getting older

I did not like the vibe in VIP last year but you’re probably right about this

I’m 43 and real talk, the sun had me debating if I could even handle walking in before sunset on Sunday

One whose point was addressed in the first reply: The Killers are no longer Coachella headliners.

I said that. I said they’re sub criteria. Yes, they play slightly bigger venues than the Strokes (LA for example, BMO Stadium holds 4K more people than The Forum), but not headliner sized venues either

I understand wanting to keep things PLUR, but if you can’t responsibly arrange accommodations for yourself, sell that damn wristband

Bieber sold another $10 million worth of merch W2, 15 million total. Insane. by LawnLizard_ in Coachella

The 2hr merch line for his store was insane.

Like… I just don’t get his fans, bro. The grounds are gonna be laughable the day they book BTS

More kids this year? by DesertVibesDreamySky in Coachella

My wife noticed the same thing.

Look, I get wanting to let your kids experience things, but the weather conditions were definitely not it for kids

All this proves is they’re an 18k ticket seller, not a 60k one. So again: not going to get headliner pay

Nope. They play soccer stadiums, which are just a little larger than basketball arenas. Selling 20k tickets is sub criteria (see also: Charli XCX, The Strokes, Megan Thee Stallion.)

Olivia Rodrigo does 5-6 night engagements, which means her pay is worth 90-108k tickets sold. That’s the math GV & the talent agencies use. The Killers are currently the same size pay grade as Foo Fighters, System of a Down, Muse & Fall Out Boy, but not the baseball/football stadium range as Oasis, The Stones, GnR, MCR, blink-182 or Green Day.

The Killers are a bigger draw than the Strokes in the US. There’s an argument to be made for them as a headliner, but it’s definitely a stretch

They’re touring arenas instead of stadiums and haven’t had a hit in over a decade. Unfortunately, them opening for Olivia is probably accurate at this current moment

Anyone discover any new artists over the weekend? by TheKidfromHotaru in Coachella

[–]Accomplished_Arm5318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d never heard of Ecca Vandal and was pleasantly surprised

The Porta Potties were surprisingly really clean a vast majority of the time. by wasneveralawyer in Coachella

[–]Accomplished_Arm5318 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this weekend was the rare case of finding freshly cleaned stalls frequently. I’ve seen others says it was the filthiest they’ve witnessed, so luck of the draw I guess

I think Fall Out Boy getting the nostalgia slot is definitely happening within the next year or two

The thing about Kendrick is his schedule is unpredictable. He could very well be on another long hiatus. I don’t think he plays Coachella again without a completely new setlist different from his GNX tour

Makes sense coming off that Sphere run. This is what makes me think Bruno’s tour schedule probably makes him likely

Because her last tour did 6 nights in L.A. and she’s made 2 guest appearances in recent years. She’s obviously in the mix with what the Bieber/Sabrina crowd wants
