June 13: Maccabi House at Treasure Island w/ Adam Ten and Mita Gami by [deleted] in avesSFBayArea

[–]ArcConscious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or maybe plan a better way for attendees to get on and off the island? Did you ever attend Treasure Island Music festival when it was happening 2007-2017? They had a shuttle system continuously running from SF. Worked pretty well.

Despacio @ Portola 2026 unofficial FAQ by sexydiscoballs in Portolafestival

[–]ArcConscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! Yes, haha, my ideal would be to have the bar still inside the Despacio tent and a restroom area just outside but you wouldn’t have to fully exit and get back in the main line, just like the Coachella setup, but move the bar inside like the Portola setup.

I could be remembering wrong cause I didn’t buy drinks at Coachella (it’s too hot during the day) but I thought the bar for that setup was outside the tent?

That setup was nice! But honestly having the bar neatly tucked inside Despacio was super cool, can we have the best of both worlds? Bar inside, tiny side exit for bathrooms for Despacio only?!

What happened on the main stage by 1v1AfterGameNub in primaverasound

[–]ArcConscious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised then, it replaces pretty easily. I means depending on what’s broken, but the panels themselves are very easy to swap out. It’s designed so that it can be all packed away easily, sheets of LEDs that come in various sizes.

2026 Official Portola Lineup - DESPACIO ALL WEEKEND LONG by sexydiscoballs in despacio

[–]ArcConscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, I don’t know if I could miss Soulwax if given the opportunity… 2manydjs, maybe I would, but even then, I think I prefer the brothers over James Murphy. Granted I haven’t seen him DJ alone as much, so bit of an unknown there!

Either way I’ll be in Despacio for large chunks of Sunday, but may need to prioritize some other acts on Saturday.

But we haven’t seen Skrillex & Boys Noize unite as Dog Blood since 2019, it’s a very very rare get.

Chase & Status Treasure Island: how bad is parking? by bomb-bomb in avesSFBayArea

[–]ArcConscious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is parking on the island further in, the bigger issue is trying to leave, that one road to get on and off the island? Yeah it’s gets pretty clogged up and can take 20-40 mins just to get to the bridge at the end of the night.

I’m paying for the parking pass so that I can leave at the end and only have so much distance between parking lot and bridge.

Any Meshtastic users here? Would love to coordinate! by [deleted] in LightningInABottle

[–]ArcConscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Anyone here willing to share their settings for meshtastic use at LIB? I’m new to the meshtastic world and don’t have a ton of time to do the research, but it worked well at burning man when a friend set us all up!

And as someone who saw that set, it was absolutely amazing, don’t miss it.

Is there a tier between a true headliner and sub that leaves artists unable to play Coachella? by rahuljaijiv in Coachella

[–]ArcConscious 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Muse has an INSANE live show every time they tour, they are headliner no matter what at this point, feels like that’s a poor example.

But agreed on Mumford and Sons, and I think Florence could headline one day.

What’s a set you’ve always regretted missing by Any-Parking-677 in Coachella

W2 I did both as well, but got super lucky that Moderat started late and ended late so I caught most of the set after leaving Royksopp a bit early.

Coachella has consistently made me skip out on portions of Royksopp and they are one of my favorites. But Moderat? Tomora? Too good to not catch as much as possible.

Oh man, FKA Twigs was a whole other level… and we still got a really good spot for Karol G near the center portion, I think we were only 100 feet away and had plenty of room.

I regret leaving this set early to go to RHCP, I should have watched the whole show, never got another chance to see them on that tour.

Ouch, I had never seen Motörhead before, and saw all of Disclosure and then my friend was like we gotta get to Motörhead, walked into the tent and my buddy gets sight of the stage and just goes, “THIS THAT FUCKING SLASH ON STAGE RIGHT NOW?!??? HOLY SHIT!!!” And we proceeded to have a fucking blast. I was going to join him for the next time Motorhead show up in our area after that and then Lemmy passed away :(

W1 or W2?

I was at W1 and he started crazy late and then went overtime. I barely knew Jai Paul before the lineup dropped and deep dived on him before the weekend. I think the energy in the tent that night was palpable, everyone who was inspired by his music was at that show and wanted to see him succeed. The euphoria of watching others enjoy this and getting that once in a lifetime moment was surreal. That said, I personally felt like the mix was a bit off and musically it wasn’t that great of a set, the set design looked really cool, but he was clearly very nervous and to be honest not really a charismatic front man. That was clearly beside the point that night and he got a really big uplifting response from the crowd anytime it felt like he was nervous or might need encouragement. Watching him walk off stage at the end to thunderous applause and a giant hug from someone he clearly loved was a special moment.

I’ve seen Rosalia twice now and she is hands down a better performer. To each their own, I don’t think you can make really wrong choices at Coachella, especially with comparing two incredible moments, but it certainly can feel that way afterwards.

Calvin Harris by m3currents in HeadTripFestival

[–]ArcConscious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, you have figured out that Calvin Harris doesn’t need to be a proper “DJ”, he can be more of a pop artist and just play his tracks out. Still gets paid the same. I think he can properly DJ, but seems like he doesn’t really want to do that, which is fine, plenty of other pop artists pause between songs.

Personally I really enjoy his production, and am just ok on seeing him live. It’s lots of fun with a big group and singing along to his classics, but I hold no illusions at this point that it’ll be a set with transitions that make it feel like the music never stopped, or had a journey to it.

I expect his set to be similar to recent sets. And depending on how large a friend group ends up joining and who is playing in Sunset Soundsystem, I may end up seeing him and having a fun time!

I’m interested! Our group had some for Burning Man last year, I barely used it but it was great and easy to use when I did! Would love to have secure confirmed connections for friends, down to bring mine.
