It's that season when Festivals start getting announced. The snow melts and in the thaw come the portapotties, vendor booths, large speakers, too much sun and drugs, and lots of great music!
COACHELLA APRIL 17-19, 2009
The
lineup was announced this week and I wish I lived in SoCal again so
it'd be easier to get myself there. I don't like festivals often
because of the crowds and porta-potties, but Coachella always has such
a compelling line-up making me want to overlook the things I hate for a
few days.
Here's who I'd want to see:
Crystal Castles
Franz Ferdinand
Los Campesinos!
Silversun Pickups
Amy Winehouse
The Courteneers
The Presets
The Ting Tings
We Are Scientists
Band of Horses
Glasvegas
The Killers
Thievery Corporation
TV on the Radio
Lykke Li
Peter Bjorn & John
The Cure
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
(and more)
I'm not going to Coachella, but I may be going to:
ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL MARCH 27-28, 2009
It's
in Miami, which is a lot closer to me than California, and has an
almost as impressive lineup. AND, we may try and make it a family
event if my sister flies in from Cali. This festival is much more
electronica which is very appealing to her.
Here's who I'd want to see:
Tiesto
Bloc Party
Santogold
The Ting Tings
Perry Ferrel
The Prodigy
Paul Van Dyk
Armin Van Buuren
Cut Copy
Crystal Castles
The Presets
Moby
(and more)
We'll see what happens...I'll keep you posted
