Location: Indio, Calif.
Dates: April 25-27
Bands: 130
Attendees: 50,000
Price: $269 for a three-day pass (single day tickets sold out)
Recommended if you like: Sweaty hipsters (California desert temperatures routinely top 100 degrees) and trendy Euro-techno (see below).
Top draws: Prince (reportedly paid $4.8 million as a last-minute addition to the lineup); trip-hop pioneers Portishead, making their only North American appearance; and Roger Waters, playing the classic Pink Floyd album “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety with what is sure to be an elaborate stage show.
Usual suspects: Jack Johnson, My Morning Jacket, Death Cab for Cutie.
Further down the bill: Coachella is importing more European DJs this year than ever, including Parisians Busy P, Para One, Orgasmic, Uffie, DJ Mehdi, SebAstian and the helpfully named Dmitri from Paris; Berliners Boys Noize, Booka Shade and Modeselektor; Sweden’s the Field; and Britain’s Simian Mobile Disco, James Zabiela and Sasha and Digweed. Rave on!
