    Yeah I'd like to go to that or ACL to mix it up. My friend went to Firefly in NYC and enjoyed it.

    Had a look at the Firefly setup, VIP, super VIP and Super Duper VIP ($7000+ / ticket)...wow!

    Agree on Coachella and Bonnaroo, very underwhelming line ups tbh

    I'm finding new acts every day on the Coachella line up and really digging them. Kolsch for example is someone I didn't know and really liking.

    This will be coming up next weekend and I will try and catch some of the festival streams to get me in the mood for the summer of festivaling :) I'm hoping Aphex Twin's set gets streamed too this year.

    I only watched the Four Tet stream out of the lot and a wee bit of Christine & the Queens. That was a very brave decision by Four Tet to go on without a light show before Aphex Twin, some of his setlist though, really cheesy vocal samples but still great thumping beats I enjoyed the second half better.

    I was at Coachella and set times worked perfectly for me. I didn't go to Aphex Twin so apologies to bodhrandude. Off the top of my head I went to the following :

    Childish Gambino
    Anderson Paak
    Tame Impala
    Weezer
    Nora En Pure
    Parcels
    Dermot Kennedy
    Pusha T
    Sunday Service
    Camelphat
    Gesafellstein
    Tall Of Us (Dolab secret closer)
    Maggie Rogers
    Diplo (he played a house set)
    Kid Cudi
    Rufus Du Sol

    Top 3 for me were :

    Childish Gambino - He scared off a lot of people early on but the second half was what you would call 'all the hits'. Excellent stage production and an electric atmosphere. I went in a bit biased being a big fan already.

    Gesafellstein - The prince of darkness as his fans call him. Dark set, black backdrop on the stage behind him. He wore a bronze suit and mask. He didn't speak, mixed it at all live. He is a must see if you ever get a chance.

    Anderson Paak - Friday evening, main stage sunset gig. Loads of fun.

    Coachella started out as a festival for fans if you can swallow that. It placed rock and alternative music at it's core. The 'influencers' and the rise of the internet has given the world an unrealistic depiction of Coachella. Yeah there is famous people strolling around (you wouldn't spot them anyway) and social media marketers just there to update their social media accounts or sell products but there is another side to it. I've gone numerous times and love it there. Our gang (mostly Irish) treat it like any festival. We drink cans in our campsite, sneak vodka in, enjoy the sets. What Coachella has going for it is the beautiful setting, the backdrop of the mountains. The average festival goer is friendly, everyone is there to enjoy it and I haven't seen an ounce of trouble at it. Acts go all out to put on a big performance knowing the 'world' is watching. We also turn it into an opportunity for a holiday and get a decent priced holiday in American over Easter.
