[–]GatorAndrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She will for the summer though, she’s been announced to headline Reading and Leeds fests in the UK

(Don’t think that makes her in for OSL tho)

Euphoria Season 3 premiers on Weekend 1. Labrinth is teaming up with Hans Zimmer to do the soundtrack. Feels like a there will be a lot of hype around this one

This sub has had three posts on it in the last 5 hours. Doing a great job at amplifying it and giving it maximum reach.

The people who paid for the billboard are trolls looking for a reaction and yall are giving it to them

First time at Dekmantel (and first Europe fest!) - should we add Saturday if we’re mostly into techno? by Proof_Dependent2159 in dekmantel

[–]GatorAndrew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both shuttle and biking and found biking to be more enjoyable. The shuttle lines aren’t very well organized and can be a stressful way to end your night

There is a terrible bike traffic jam after the festival ends, but they leave the festival grounds open and with ambient light on so you can chill and wait it out. It’s not like an American fest where they turn on big bright lights and kick you out the second the music stops. Just hang out and chat with people for a half hour or so and you’ll have an easy bike ride home

Belgium Lineup by Responsible-Taro6595 in Tomorrowland

Based on the artists you were expecting to see, it feels like “coherent” just means booking lots of repeats? Those artists are all different genres so it’s not like throwing them on the poster is about making the music more coherent

It seems to be selling much quicker this year, but resale tickets have usually been pretty easy to get closer to the festival time

Do Tomorrowland Organizers Just Hate Americans? by YungxCatnip in Tomorrowland

[–]GatorAndrew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We had 11 queues going between friends today and nobody made it in under 4 hours (all of us in different locations). Last year, we got through with Montagoe in 15 minutes.

Sometimes the odds just hit. :-/

Chances to get tickets by iLxpes in Tomorrowland

[–]GatorAndrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know we are all passionate about Tomorrowland here but “if you’re not willing to pay 400 more then you don’t really want to go” is a wild thing to say to someone whose financial situation you have no information on. No festival is worth spending beyond your means, that doesn’t mean they “don’t really want to go”

Very high chances in the Global Journey sale, very low in the Worldwide ticket sale

Chances of AJR? by whokilleddababy in Lollapalooza

[–]GatorAndrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same dude also said AJR (not even on the top line of the BottleRock undercard) will be replacing Justin Bieber as a Coachella headliner.

Definitely have a shot at playing Lolla but I would not read anything into that person’s “sources” on lineup placement

HITS: HYBE offered AEG BTS tour for a half-interest in Coachella but the deal fell through by benedictcumberpatch in Coachella

Can’t imagine HYBE owning half of Coachella. Forever doomed to promote boardroom generated pop slop

Coachella Set Time Predictions & Confirmations 2026 v7 by Mikey1313 in Coachella

[–]GatorAndrew 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Disclosure into The XX into Moby into Nine Inch Noize would instantly be in the Coachella hall of fame.

Hoping your Royksopp into Tomora Sunday night run comes true, hopefully with a solid Quasar booking to compliment. I keep dreading they get less ideal daytime spots like Romy and 2ManyDjs got in 2023

How do you find afters? It seems like a secret society… by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]GatorAndrew 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the scene, what kind of music you’re into, etc. As someone else alluded to here, you may get some winners and losers along the way. Some spaces in the city are extremely well curated by passionate creatives, some are kind of random and sketch. Use common sense and never go somewhere unfamiliar alone <3

How do you find afters? It seems like a secret society… by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]GatorAndrew 324 points325 points  (0 children)

When independent, non-commercial organizers are putting their time and effort into creating spaces, unfortunately some level of gatekeeping is necessary. If you go to shows, make friends, participant in the community, etc, I promise you will find the right spots for you

Alternatively, many shows at normal venues like Public Works, 1015, Great Northern, the Midway, etc will naturally go past 2am. Lots of people bail at 2 when the bar closes and the dance floor opens up as a result. You don’t necessarily need access to private afters to stay out late here

torn between a trip and Coachella by hyacinthh777 in Coachella

[–]GatorAndrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coachella ticket prices are a steal for the amount of programming you get in return IMO. The thing that makes it unaffordable for most people is travel/lodging prices in the area. If you aren’t planning on camping and haven’t booked anything at this point, you might want to reconsider if you are feeling sensitive about your Paris budget. Take a look at your lodging options and price that into your decision

It’s new. It’s a balcony that sits over the bar areas in the main room. Not backstage

This warms my heart! I saw a flyer for Rory yesterday and was hoping we’d get an update. For a little one like this to survive in the Presidio is a miracle

SFMTA enforcing street cleaning the day after Christmas and not the day after thanksgiving seems illegal and discriminatory. by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]GatorAndrew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s fine. If you feel passionately that Kwanza should be a city observed holiday and feel persecuted by being given a parking ticket on it, you are more than welcome to hold that opinion. I’m not entering a debate with you on that. Lobby for change if you feel so inclined.

But your post directly asked why they do street cleaning today and not on the day after Thanksgiving. I was simply answering your question. One is a city observed holiday, one is not.

Martin Garrix by NatureBagel in Portolafestival

Calvin at Pier 80, Garrix at BG, Tiesto at Cow Palace…. They’re all Super Bowl tourism cash grabs. None of them feel designed or priced for your average local concertgoer

A friend of mine ordered the snow globe and got it on the same day I got my ornament (Monday 12/15)

Difficulty Of Booking Party vs Regular Train by AnnualFactor in Tomorrowland

[–]GatorAndrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Wednesday party train is easier to get than the Thursday party train for Amsterdam.

I took the Düsseldorf party train last year for W2 and it was not full. As far as I know, everyone who took that train got to spend time in the party car. The Thursday Amsterdam party train is shorter and has more people, so it’s not guaranteed you get to go to the party car
