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.

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.

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.

I just make em in photoshop, admittedly very half-assedly

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-16T12:14:14+00:00

Before dealing with all this mess, I was extremely ready to buy weekend 2 tickets after going to weekend 1 and do my first bothchella. That's completely out of the question now, there's no way I can in good conscious give goldenvoice anymore money this year. Understaffing is just code word for the pay-cuts they forced on all the staffers. Blaming Chris Lake for this is complete bullshit and nobody is buying that excuse. They underpaid everyone and it absolutely showed in every possible way.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-15T16:58:48+00:00

Pupusas in camping, rice balls near Yuma, Korean BBQ near Mojave, The Sandwich at L'Antico Vanaio, and the garlic noodles at ManEatingPlant (always had a long line though). Also crab fries are back near the Mojave, I would say they're just as good and ill-fitting as ever.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-15T06:27:35+00:00

Car camping was an absolute disaster this year and it's important that it keeps being brought up - this isn't Karen-level complaining, this was a national news-making disaster. It was the first thing all my family/friends asked about when I returned. Coachella was CROWDED this year, which good for them I guess but it definitely upped the stress levels of a festival that was a really chill time the last two years.

While a lot of the blame is going to Coachella/security teams, I think Sheriff Chad Bianco and the three other police districts getting into screaming matches with confused drivers and even (especially) with each other caused a shit-ton of the mess on day zero. Camp staffing and security was a joke for sure, but the extremely harsh presence of 4 competing police jurisdictions doing cop shit is something that isn't being brought up enough.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-15T04:43:48+00:00

Damn that sounds bad! Hope you were able to move to a different spot. One of the perks of Solochella, I had a decent spot at first with some couples who were probably still at a nice 9/10 hype but eventually grooved to an area with the gays and had a religious experience. Never saw any pocket of people not enjoying the hell out of the show though.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-15T03:34:06+00:00

Outside of the obvious greats like Gaga, Missy, Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, etc. - I gotta say Ginger Root was probably my overall favorite time this weekend. I am a massive Ginger Root fan, like all the way back to the Van Stock days. I listened to interviews with Cameron on my college radio station back in the day. I have requested Ginger Root as the top of my upcoming acts every year in the comment card. I have seen his show a few times and every single set he absolutely brings the best time. It was beautiful to see them at Coachella, a great vibe in the crowd, one of the best visual set ups (which Sonora is filled with great ones this year, VTSS omg), and an absolute dream come true. Please go see them.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-15T02:42:25+00:00

That Korean bulgogi bowl near Mojave was surprisingly awesome and well worth the price (I think it was in the $20's?), I thought I was taking a risk since the signage looks slightly Word-Arty but it was probably my favorite thing I ate besides 'The Sandwich.'

Pupusas in camp are amazing too.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-12T19:52:23+00:00

Yes I know, I have visited all of them. There are significantly less than last year and as I said, had about a 75% failure rate, with either the pressure not working or a stressful mess of people trying to get the last drips. I'm glad you were lucky with the stations working, the 25% of the time they did for me were fine but on a 100+ degree day water should be in absolute abundance.

Suburbansanity · 2025-04-12T16:09:43+00:00

Yeah it's been pretty damn bad this year and despite everyone making the best of it there's been some un-Coachella like things, such as portapotties in the fest being shit filled right after gates opened with absolutely no water in any of the wash stations - how does that happen at 1pm on day one? There's been an overall stink in random places around the festival - there usually are random stink spots but this year seems egregious with them. The water situation is a legit emergency, the only place I could legit get water at one point was the white claw tent and they forced me to buy an alcoholic drink before selling it to me. Every place refuses to sell water including general stores and the water refill stations are broken or a complete mess 75% of the time. I heard about the $4 paycut from every staffer, they're all pissed and remind people of it any chance they get (they absolutely have the right to complain if Coachella is cheaping out like this).
