Looks really good this year with a few great newer bands.

One day I hope to go    but for now I'll have to do with Oxegen and possibly Benicassim.

Anyone here ever been to Coachella? I heard a vicious rumour you can't bring your own alcohol whatsoever

Looks like a nice gig, April 19th gets my vote for best day.

Yeah, no outside food or beverage, I went two years ago... Food prices weren't bad but I don't know about booze. Personally, I'd want a big think of soju to mix with cola but that's the breaks.

Saturday is the only day that seems weak. Rumor is that they may get Bruce Springsteen to show up.

doesn't look bad, but I'm going to Bonnaroo instead.
