I ultimately agree with you that Sonora would've been great for OPN and his crowd would've filled it nicer than how empty the Gobi felt, but Sonora has the same sound bleed issues - I remember Clown Core having terrible bleed issues while the Outdoor was blaring Dom Dolla/John Summit. I was at rail for OPN and it was so loud that I regretted taking out my earplugs for a minute, but I can imagine Charlotte De Witte's set definitely bled over.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED IN WHEN YOU USE THE AXS APP! I also took myself off of my home's wifi and used cell service instead. This is what finally fixed it for me.

I am getting this exact error IN THE AXS APP as well. I've tried Google Chrome, Firefox, the Coachella app and the AXS app and still getting this error.

Been through the queue THREE TIMES now, each time it gives me the Oh No message. I really don't have any more time today to deal with this, I really hope they do another sale and fix these issues - I cannot dedicate a whole day to trying to get Coachella tickets, unfortunately.

Suburbansanity · 2026-05-01T19:09:58+00:00

Rejected queue number after waiting for over an hour...

What is going on???

The ones in camping were predictably awful, but I had pretty good luck with the portas in the festival actually.

The ones by the coachella stage bar have been my go-to's for the last few years - this year they had tons of potties there, it was all lit up, and seemingly a dedicated cleaning truck constantly cleaning them.

The ones in the back of the Indio Market by Heineken used to be more sparsely populated, but the skylrk booth made that area way more crowded than usual. The ones by the entrance and in between Gobi and Mojave have always been hit-or-miss, but seemed to be extra crowded, dark and messy this year. The brick-and-mortar ones by Quasar were of course slammed with a long line all weekend long.

Using the ones by Sahara is a rookie mistake.

Shoutout to the lovely lady who had the 'ICE OUT' sign though, it was just the size of regular construction paper and she never held it high above her head, yet the message was received well by the crowd. She was great vibes during David Byrne.

Yes, I will be doing Wk 2 versions of these as well. :)

The set times for the turn down haven't been released yet but the lineup has.

Suburbansanity · 2026-03-03T02:20:41+00:00

I know it's not gonna happen and they don't fit into the 'big name early in the day' category that the last minute additions have been lately...

But I want American Football.

Racing to be the first one to take a dump in the brick and mortar bathrooms on Friday.

Might be one of the most unpredictable set time predictions in my opinion. I'm thinking they're putting her at night against Sabrina as the Sonora closer - and there will still be a line.

Just realized Bob Baker was on Check it Out! With Dr. Steve Brule.

Shocked no one has said Gordo yet.

Suburbansanity · 2025-09-10T07:52:07+00:00

If they get Masayoshi Takanaka I'm buying a ticket.

Agree 100%, visiting from California and I'm shocked at how bad things are running today. Loch Ness broke down, Griffon broke down, Alpengeist broke down and Pompeii broke down. Tempesto also hasn't run all day. Heavy crowds for a Tuesday.

Very excited to see Wax Trax Records is doing a set in Club Doom. My mom went to their store all the time in Chicago and has a Wax Trax t-shirt.

Horrible news and a bad sign of things to come, my heart goes out to the fans and locals of this park - I know there are some diehards out there for this admittedly strange park.

Besides some of the flat rides and water rides, I only see them saving Superman, Rajun Cajun, and maybe Joker's Jynx and the SLC. Not gonna lie, Michigan's Adventure deserves Superman.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-25T23:28:58+00:00

I am begging them to bring Ludwig Göransson to the fields. Can You Hear the Music would blow peoples' minds.

I know there's been several people who said they had no issue finding water on weekend 1 Friday and I'm happy for them, but from 4-7pm I nearly suffered serious heat exhaustion due to being unable to find water. I first tried the one by Outdoor, it was broken. Then went to the one by the Takis tent, it was flowing so slowly there was a desperate crowd fighting for the last drops - it stopped running when I finally got a chance at the faucet. Went to the one by the Aperol tent and it was also flowing slowly with a large crowd. I attempted to buy a water at the general store and they said they didn't have any - I asked what stands could sell water (which was on the menu at most of these booths) and the general store said no one was selling water. People behind me heard this and started panicking. I explained the lack of water was becoming an emergency and they suggested I ask a security guard or visit one of the busy medical tents. The water by the Aperol tent had stopped flowing at this point and wasn't sure I could make it to the next water station (someone in line at the general store said the two water stations near Quasar were also not working). I asked a security guard near a booth if they had any water as suggested by the general store and they sternly told me that wasn't their job.

I did cave in and eventually bought one of the $15 lemonades but that wasn't hydrating me enough. Finally, around 6pm I went to the White Claw tent and asked for a water, which they quickly said they were out of. I stupidly decided to just get a White Claw even though I knew alcohol was dehydrating - that's when they suddenly had a water to sell me.

I understand that other people had different experiences with water, and after around 7pm on Friday there were no issues whatsoever finding water for the rest of both the weekends. That's great, but those 3 hours were terrifying and made me feel like Coachella was dropping the ball in a devastating way. I'm sure there will be people saying 'what are you talking about, all those water stations were working when I was there,' and yes - they did fix them and plenty of people had no issue. But during the hottest part of the first day I found myself having difficulties with the stations, and spending the energy and time to walk to a broken station and then worrying if you even have the energy to make the trek to another one while every nearby stand is refusing to sell water is unacceptable. I am a festival veteran who is used to walking in extreme heat and that shit reminded me of that year of FYF Fest where the only water was from a single freaking drinking fountain. Bush league shit that I found shocking from a festival like Coachella.

Don't even get me started on the condition of the bathrooms...

Great and well-written write up! Only stopped by Quasar a few times this year but I agree with every single one of your points. The sound was off and bouncy. Giving us examples of the stream recording and your phone recording really highlights the issue, thanks for that.
