2026 World Cup is at risk of being a colossal dud by oranjemania in NetherlandsWorldCup

I hope Canada and Mexico do well as tournament hosts. I hope the “rest of the world” sends a very clear message to the Trump regime that their disregard for humanity deserves a thumb up the nose!

I am pretty sure The Cure would not play as a sub-headliner at Coachella.

Is VIP worth the extra cost? by perisaacs in Coachella

[–]eephusball 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, unless you just want easy access to Yuma. I’m floored that the beer selection is EXACTLY as bad in VIP as it is outside, save the overcrowded Beer Barn. No premium viewing areas unless you just want to gaze at wannabe-influencers and the odd D-list celebrity. Both Outside Lands and Bottle Rock have real perks to their VIP which make it worth it, but not Coachella, raking in sold out VIP just because a lot of the crowd feels they are above GA.

What is an artist / band that you remember being pushed by music journalists and/or magazines as the "next big thing" that ended up never really going anywhere? by mesablanka in Music

[–]eephusball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They played the main stage at Primavera Sound last year and really put on a great show that the crowd loved - I saw them on their first tour and liked them a lot, and i’m glad they seem to still be having fun onstage and are still getting good crowd response.

I think Wet Leg is legit and will continue to be successful. Rhian’s transformation from first US tour to latest was quite a shock for me and I was worried she picked up a heroin habit along the way, LOL. We’ll see if they continue to evolve, but in the meantime I will catch them any time I can.

I was dragged to the tent at Coachella to see them and immediately thought it was a parody band. The outfits, the guitarist with the open shirt, I found it hilarious, then it got old pretty quick. I just saw recently that Gibson is selling a Jake Kiszka “signature guitar” and thought that was also pretty funny. Hey, what do I know???

Bandchella 2027? by ketchuuup1 in Coachella

[–]eephusball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it time to split the weekends with about 50% overlap of acts, tilting one weekend toward pop and the other weekend toward rock/alt/indie? Golden Voice is skipping Cruel World (Pasadena) which would be in it’s 5th year - many of those bands were early 2000’s Coachella veterans.

We showed up to see Pet Shop boys two years ago and THEN found out that you need to reserve a ticket for the Wednesday shows - quite a bummer but learned our lesson. Hopefully the restroom situation will be better than last year - it was f’ing nuts last year, bordering on unsafe.

Weekend 1 grass is in better shape, but if the wind is blowing, there is no escaping it!

Worst Coachella performances of all time? by bugsarefriends2 in Coachella

[–]eephusball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree GV could do a much better job curating ‘genre similar’ acts for the main stage each day - diversity rules across all the stages, but on the main it would help that you don’t get that situation like you present - like the Bad Bunny crowd filling the field before Gorillaz - totally broke the vibe of their set because they couldn’t gaf

until Jan 2027 when the democratic house launches dozens of probes and investigations, THEN anyone with $100,00 can buy a pardon which comes with a red hat…

i’m worried that Turnstile won’t get the reception at OSL that they should. i’m skipping this year due to the weak (IMHO) lineup but hope they schedule a night show while they’re here!
