dunefreak Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm stoked! There a few really good bands this year. Roger Waters , Portishead, JACK JOHNSON , the Verve, SLIGHTLY STOOPID!! , Fat Boy Slim ..and LOTS of bands I have no idea who they are but that is half the fun of it- discovering some very unique badass bands. Anna and I hit up Coachella a few years ago and it was a blast. Back then it was Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, Blue Man Group, Beasties, Queens of the Stone Age, Dirty Vegas, G Love, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's lineup is awesome. The best I have seen so far. I wish I could go all three days but I don't think it's really a place for pregnant chicks.

Fast Machine Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 In addition to the concert prices, local hotels also jack their prices up. When we went it was $200/night to stay in a MOTEL. In Coachella! The middle of the desert!! And we had to fight the front desk because they gave our room away but I had the reservation confirmation number in my hand. I would suggest booking a room early if you are going to need one. It was an expensive trip but worth every penny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
