Coachella 2023 (April 15 & 22, 2023)

i like coachella's faq question about umbrellas

froggy umbrella? don't even think about it!

[lost wigeon]

[brittle latch]

you were gonna bring a froggy umbrella weren't you!

[lost wigeon]

wait, so umbrellas is a no because the water splashes?

they want you to contain the water with the parasols

[brittle latch]

i dunno why

[lost wigeon]

the wood would absorb the water

but then its going to pour all over you instead

[brittle latch]

i would think it wouldnt rain anyways

[lost wigeon]

i dont think it would

[brittle latch]

maybe people will hit others with umbrellas??? but won't with a parasol

[brittle latch]

wow

jisoo banned

she will not be able to bring that !!

[jaunty rain]

parasol for the sun 🌞

[brittle latch]

but why would they disallow umbrellas !

is one more dangerous than the other

[lost wigeon]

I have light skin! I need to protect myself from UV! Please allow umbrellas!

[brittle latch]

parasols only !

too bad

[lilac hollow]

Hi I have a friend who is looking for another person to join her group for Coachella! She's kind of getting desperate atm. Here are some deets

"April 14-16 is the festival itself but we'll be traveling April 13-17 and the hotel package w/ tickets costs $1237.25/person. We have everything booked they would just need to buy flights to/from LAX because we're renting a car & driving. Or they can fly from PSP which is the closest airport but costs more."

[restive sphinx]

sorry i already live around the concert place but i hope they find suitable person and also ||$1237 is kinda scary expensive for my 17 y/o broke ass||

[rigid token]

Mbn to live around there!

[novel glacier]

hi again, if any peeps are selling the Sunday portion of their Weekend 2 pass pls lmk, my sis can’t afford a whole pass but wants to see Frank :’ ,, for anyone interested it would cheapen your tix by $192 for the one day ☮︎

[austere oak]

I ordered one months ago. Excited for weekend 2

[harsh orchid]

how many tickets do you have???

[modest blade]

do you till need?

I will have a Weekend 2 Day 3 + shuttle pass available if anyone is interested. I honestly have Day One too but it would be a nightmare and too much risk to coordinate getting the wristband back for Day Two

I wanted to go all three days but work

[bold gulch]

If you're a blink who's on the fence about attending Coachella, there's good news: BP will be embarking on a NA encore tour this August. We already know there's a stop scheduled in North California, so if you're not feeling the festival vibe, consider saving your money for the tour instead. With this option, you'll get to enjoy BP's incredible live performance in a different setting and without the crowds and chaos of a festival.

nothing against Coachella but but I do think it's the right thing to shed light on AEG's strategy of selling tickets to blinks. Last year, BP skipped North California during their tour, and now they will announce a NA encore tour after Coachella without giving fans advance notice. This tactic seems aimed at pushing blinks to buy Coachella tickets, and I believe it's important to be aware of it. As fans, we have the right to make informed decisions about how we spend our money and support our favorite artists.

[rigid token]

There's a NorCal stop?👀

[modest blade]

👀 oh snap, looks like I am going on another mini BP tour this year

Yea. After reading and watching live stream today I’ll go to merch if I miss Friday and be joining on the camp team lol.

[modest blade]

im 5'5 so I need all the help I can get 😆 o O (😭 )

[austere oak]

I always let 2 to 3 rows of shorter people in front of me to be fair at concerts

[sterile reef]

w yellow squirrel moment

[sterile reef]

are you gonna camp at coachella

alr so who’s for sure down to make a little camp group here?

[austere oak]

Yea. Might get merch first then head over.

[sterile reef]

alright. would u wanna meet up and chill together? I’ll be there in the very beginning so I can save ur spot

Can wait to see what @rigid token has to say 😭

[fallow fern]

what time is everyone camping next week😭

[rigid token]

THAT'S A WRAP. YES I TOOK THIS

[sterile reef]

AHHHH BROOOOO

AHAHAH THAT WILL BE JS NECT WEEK GUYS MANIFESTING IT

[sterile reef]

I’ll be there in the very beginning! I can save u a spot and we can meet up so we have a small group going so we’re not alone 😭😭

[fallow fern]

bet! what area are you guys will you guys be camping at im planning to take the shuttle from my hotel not sure if thats earlier enough

[sterile reef]

literally when it opens ima try. cause I am doing camping at the festival. doing car camping. so I’m planning to wake up around 9. shower get ready, eat, and walk to the festival line and once it opens, I’m running

ima try and get barricade for us

for area idk yet

i have calculated to solutions for me. Circle 1 or 2. I can either get close to stage or close to the runway

@rigid token ik u just had the time of ur life but when u have time. where would be the best place to camp

[rigid token]

Shuttles from hotels start at noon

[rigid token]

I say 1. Thats where most of the set is. 2 is good if you wanna see runway stuff. That circle feels like a mile for their extended stage

[fallow fern]

got it thank you for all the info guys 😄 ill try to get an uber earlier then that day then

[rigid token]

I should've done that ☠️. Gates open at 12 but at least you guarantee yourself an arrival right then

[fallow fern]

what time did barricade get filled up today 😭

[sterile reef]

ima guess 2-3

[rigid token]

Wanna say when the crowd filed in so about 330-4

[sterile reef]

OH

we got time

we good

[rigid token]

Get all your liquids in early. Once its filled. You're gonna have an impossible time getting back

[sterile reef]

ok noel so you’re saying at the beginning of coachella, there aren’t a lot of ppl at the main stage

[rigid token]

Correct. Barely anyone on the left but thats because theres a vip area in front so i moved to the right side... RIGHT IN FRONT of the main stage

[sterile reef]

w

ok I got this

do you know how long the line was to get into the venue for GA

[rigid token]

I got there after 12 so no line lol

[sterile reef]

im so prepared. I’m bringing one of those hiking water backpacks ☠️☠️☠️☠️

[rigid token]

If youre camping youre chill

[sterile reef]

how do you charge ur phone lol

[rigid token]

W for the days not Saturday or if you do use Saturday... dont drink much

Camping? Um they have charging stations but best case is lots of portables lol

[sterile reef]

I’m bringing one portable for sure , it’s good

[sterile reef]

so it was worth coming

*camping

[thorn mulch]

Did you have trouble going to the restroom later on like once it was starting fill?

[rigid token]

I used it when i got in and thats it. I sparingly drank water

[thorn mulch]

Damn what a champ haha

[rigid token]

Good time to go is during thr first set

Or before the first set

[thorn mulch]

Good to know

[rigid token]

Seems like a decent group is going. Yall should work as a pack. Some people gave money for food and one person went

[thorn mulch]

That’s actually smart haha

[rigid token]

Ya and drinks. Security gives water but sometimes its already hot water so don't chance it. Any normal room temp water i got i shoved it in my fanny and it stayed "cool"

[rigid token]

Any more tips, feel free to ask

[dim dawn]

Omg i've cried of happiness seeing blackpink

Omg

[rigid token]

You were there?👀

How was your overall Coachella experience also

[dim dawn]

No, i didn't. It was on yt where i have seen it. I can't go to any concerts for my disease and I wasn't able to go to any concert of Blackpink. But omg, even on video I feel so much happiness.

[modest blade]

im down for the camp group. Ill be coming in via shuttle

[modest blade]

besides a charger, anything else essential to bring?

[austere oak]

How cold does it get?

[austere oak]

I’m in same situation as you. Might Uber that day as well if I need merch still.

[rigid token]

First night got quite cold... in the 40s/50s but last night I was fine even in the open air with my day fit

[rigid token]

Just keep an eye on the temp for next week during the nights and see if it gets windy cause if it's windy, it'll feel colder

[rigid token]

You can bring in a plastic water bottle, can be reusable, to fill. They have water stations. Ear plugs are always a good investment. I snuck in some granola bars as well just to have a snack on with me.

Bringing a sweater or a jacket isn't a horribly bad idea as well

[sterile reef]

w

@rigid token do you have any vids or pics of how ur view was

[rigid token]

My vids are all 8K so idk if they'll fit in here lmao.

I'll find pics

@sterile reef

[sterile reef]

HOW IS THE WUALITY SO GOOD???!!!!??

U TOOK THESE?!

[rigid token]

Ya. Half were actual pictures hence better photo quality. Others were video recordings but I clicked to take a picture so we sacrificed pic quality for video quality lol

But ya @sterile reef I was that close lol

[sterile reef]

MY GAWD

[sterile reef]

i really hope to get this close. I hope the line to enter the venue isn’t big.

[wind gyro]

coachella blackpink=ate, devoured, slayed, killed, breathtaken, crying, screaming

[rigid token]

You will if you camp for sure

[sterile reef]

w

big bro don’t wanna see blackpink but it’s ok, so ima be by myself unless the ppl here join 🙏🙏🙏

my biggest fear is having to use the number 2 for the whole 4 days ima be gone😭😭

[vast sail]

Bro omg this quality is crazy

[rigid token]

Poop in the morning that's it lol. And eat clean stuff lol

[sterile reef]

im scared to poop in porta potties so ima have to wake up earlier and line up esrly for GA entrance and use the restrooms inside the festival

[rigid token]

There's "nice bathrooms" in trailers

[austere oak]

Last question for people that went, how bad the pickpocketing there? The Coachella subreddit has a few conversations about it.

[rigid token]

I actually haven't ran into my own personal issues or hear about people complaining about it. I've ran into more people who are being helpful tbh

[austere oak]

Ok. I’m doing my on prep but wondering about it.

[sterile reef]

@rigid token r u gonna see Frank? I hesrd so many ppl started lining up early 😭

[rigid token]

Gonna see him ya for sure

[sterile reef]

[rigid token]

[sterile reef]

[rigid token]

[rigid token]

<3

[rigid token]

Never heard.of tickets.com tbh

[rigid token]

[austere oak]

Next week I plan to see more stages and just be happy to see Frank from the back. Crowds on stream look a little tired

[sterile reef]

trueee that’s what ima do. I’ve just just vids of hella ppl lining up for frank. like more then bp and bad bunny

[sterile reef]

[rigid token]

@sterile reef Frank was well.... underwhelming and that's generous

[thorn mulch]

Oof some info about Frank’s Set

[tough fox]

Does anyone have any idea or news why they used local dancers for coachella?

[sterile reef]

oh my

cmon frank

maybe he wanted to save it for week 2 @rigid token

[austere oak]

I don’t have much hope for Frank weekend 2. Im hoping Saturday stays same if they make any changes since main stage is all acts I like minus 070 shake.

[rigid token]

Saturday main stage was so good

[sterile reef]

i hope Frank does something better for wekend 2. I hope him and coachella come in terms and do something cause I really wanna see him so bad

[austere oak]

I would like to see him but in my mind I already assumed blackpink, prydz, and Harris is my closers. Sunday going to the people I liked on stream with shade lol

[rigid token]

@sterile reef

[sterile reef]

[austere oak]

Silver lining, you get to explore the other acts

I still laugh that everyone didn’t think blackpink deserved to be headliner and they were the best out of the three

[sterile reef]

true

blackpink and calvin harris are easily the best in this lineup

i wish frank would have been able to prove himself but he didn’t. smh. it’s whatever I’ll still have fun

[last crypt]

Do y’all know the prices

For NA your

[fossil cave]

Major L frank

[sterile reef]

Here's a breakdown and other tips

Do Lab: This area has the "nice" bathrooms. Porcelain toilets that flush lol. Never gets too crowded in this area given it's in the middle of Sahara and two other tents. Do Lab schedule isn't even on the schedule they published last week, believe it's in the app only.

Casetify: Pretty simple, they have cases with their BP collab there even though their website is sold out

Indio Central Market: Food court with actual seating. Think the food here is more... idk the word maybe diverse? Cause there's Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vegan, etc along with your basic other stuff that's outside like burgers and pizza. My groups favorite foods came from here

If you're planning on getting merch. Would recommend getting it as early as possible. By the time I bought Saturday night when Bad Bunny was on, one of the shirts I wanted was already sold out. If you know you're gonna be dedicated to staying in spots for BP Saturday, either make friends and be sure they defend your spot and bring an extra bag because they don't got any or buy it as early as possible Saturday. But recommend to do it Friday tbh

[modest blade]

Thank you! I still feel very under prepared for this lmao

[rigid token]

Please let me know what else you wanna know and I will do my best to help!

[modest blade]

Did you stay in your spot after BP or did you roam around after? Curious how hard it will be to get out after

[rigid token]

The girls who were in my area wanted to roam around so we roamed around. Honestly after escaping the front by the stage, it was smooth sailing. Recommend if you're with a group, which sounds like you'll be with fellow Blinks in here. Just make a train. Hold onto each other's hands, arms, or shoulders and just make your way out.

Blinks leave and then all the people super excited for Calvin make their way there lol

This will also be good for Saturday but not a bad idea since you're with this group (or whoever you are) to take an early shift to grab food/use bathroom. It won't get super packed until like after the second main stage act, Marc Rebillet is about halfway into his set because that's when the crowd for Charli XCX starts rolling in.

For the most part, the people I met and were around were very accomodating of others' spots and it seems like more Blinks are sliding through this weekend too

[modest blade]

I see.

Hopefully I can grab some food early and just nibble on it throughout the day

Ill be solo (well besides the blinks here)

[rigid token]

Ya I was solo and made friends there. But didn't wanna risk it. Least you even have Blinks here. More than me lol

[rigid token]

Ya or you can sneak food in that fits in a bag tbh. I snuck granola bars cause I knew they wouldnt wreck my stomach

So much good Coachella food I didnt get to try because by the time BP was over because of the late start, places were closing up shop

[modest blade]

Yea I am going to bring two granola bars and liquid IV packet

[rigid token]

Smart. W electrolytes

Recommend stretching as much as you can while you have the space or beforehand

My legs are still feeling it from that Saturday

[modest blade]

I full expect my legs to be stiff like pocky sticks by the time BP comes on

[rigid token]

Lol

They do handout water. Sometimes if you're lucky, it's room temp. Othertimes gonna be hot as hell

If you have a belt bag/fanny, recommend keeping the water in there

[modest blade]

Did bag size matter?

[rigid token]

I probably sipped tiny bits every hour but sweat it all out lol

YES Backpacks (Medium) 18"x13"x8.5"

Honestly that's pretty big lol

That's a decent sized bag to hold merch

[modest blade]

Alright cool

[rigid token]

Says no lightsticks and blankets on their website but people freely walked with those all day lol

Flags and poles too but then we saw the SK flag during Blackpink's week 1 lol

What else you wanna know lol

[modest blade]

I think that's good enough. Rest will just have to come down to luck and decision making lol

Thanks for the help

[rigid token]

Ofc

[austere oak]

We think similar lol

[rigid token]

Sad I missed out on hella Blinks in here and the other BlackPink server

But glad my knowledge and being test dummy was worth it lol

Yall will have the best time. Still feels like a fever dream

[bronze tartan]

[rigid token]

What you do yesterday?

[austere oak]

Sorry meant “fun” in dealing with travel and all

[rigid token]

I recommend going to Two Friends before Metro. Can assure yourself a decent spot and very nostalgic with the crowd singing

[austere oak]

Conflict with Gorillaz though :(. Might leave early for two friends then if nostalgic

[rigid token]

Ya they had the whole crowds singing Mr. Brightside for example lol

[austere oak]

@sterile reef how you dealing with the heat?

[sterile reef]

I think I got used to it tbh

it’s not too bad but it’s bad lol

[modest blade]

I'm barely going to Day 1 in a little bit 😂

[austere oak]

Ok. I’ll be wearing a bucket hat, white long sleeve under black shirt with lion on it. I’ll have a pink venom fangs mask.

[austere oak]

I’m leaving early now. Figured to test out day but tired of dust and time adjustment.

[austere oak]

Two friends was fun. Thanks for recommending

[rigid token]

Aye leggo

What nostalgic songs they play?

I still see Metro rockin

[modest blade]

Yea Two Friends was vibe city

[austere oak]

Sounds similar. Bright side, some biggie, queen

[modest blade]

Getting merch now and then leaving

[austere oak]

Smart. I got some at 6pm. Left light stick in locker for tomorrow

[modest blade]

That's right. Wonder if we can bring it in

I'll ask before I buy a lightstick

I forgot mine at home

[austere oak]

Merch people had no answer. Some people bought it in this morning I saw

Meant that for @modest blade

[rigid token]

I brought mine in no issue

[rigid token]

Omg you're buying merch?

[rigid token]

Mine was in a bag but saw people walk with theirs out lol

[modest blade]

If you have room in ya bags... I can send you money ☠️

[modest blade]

I won't have room for a sweater. My bag isn't big 😦

Unless you want it now

[rigid token]

It's okay. It was for my friends and was hoping someone could buy it and ship it to me so I could ship to them. If you dont have room in your bags for traveling it's all good

[modest blade]

Oh that

I can do that. Thought you mean to bring tomorrow 😆

[rigid token]

Omg hero

[modest blade]

Someone just bought the sweater btw

[austere oak]

Also I’m going to see how much an Uber is tomorrow since shuttle was 20 mins late and I got to the festival. Think it will expensive so might be make on shuttle again FYI.

[modest blade]

It's expensive.

Heard someone talk about it on the shuttle

But probably varies which point you are coming from

Lmk how things are when you arrive. Idk if ill make it in time. Probably won't get home until 130

Then need to hydrate

[fallow fern]

[austere oak]

Yesterday it was late. We got on at 1220. So setting my expectations now lol

[plucky willow]

did anyone manage to sneak a lightstick in a backpack last week?

if it doesn't set off the metal detector they won't search my bag right?

[austere oak]

Sounds like people were fine last week. I took safety and bought one and put in locker (I didn’t have v2 anyways)

[modest blade]

People have been saying yes and some even just holding it as they walk in.

I will try my luck today

Going to try to make to the shuttles by 12

[plucky willow]

[austere oak]

That’s no good

True but better to take care of that issue now than have it creep up mid day lol

[austere oak]

True. I had a leak in my camelbak so fighting that

Every time I see the girls, makes me love life.

Can't wait to see them again

[fossil cave]

Oficially a clown

[sterile reef]

i just died

unreal

it happened so fast. i felt like i wasn’t able to grasp it but it was FUCJING ANAZING AND I LOVED IT

[sterile reef]

i made it out fine, calvin harris was fucjing awesome

[austere oak]

My legs couldn’t last anymore for Harris. I went to Eric prydz for 10 mins and was done

@sterile reef looks like we were somewhat close to each other.

[rigid token]

Lol this the "tweet"

[austere oak]

Ready for day 3 here though.

[rigid token]

My legs didnt fully recover from last weekend until Thursday or Friday

[austere oak]

Yea that’s why I miss some late sets to recover. Got a long plane ride tomorrow so don’t need legs lol

@modest blade hope you feeling better now

[sterile reef]

im so dead

ima tryna relive everything k witnessed yesteday in my head but it’s too hard

[austere oak]

Lol. I’m good for day 3. Going home after bp sucked but ready to go now

Hoping to check the stages I missed Friday but all enclosed which will be nice

[modest blade]

Thanks, im super sore and have a pounding headache but 100% worth because last night was so much fun

[sterile reef]

yess

guys does this every happen to you

when you live in the moment so much and you have a good time and then later you try and relive everything in your mind but it’s hard😭😭

like you still remember but it’s not harder but you’re tryna remember all the details and their faces and stuff

Idk if I’m making sense

but does that ever happen to y’all lol

like rn im thinking abt the bp performance and im tryna relive everything exactly the same in my head 😭😭

[rigid token]

Sometimes

[sterile reef]

got ppl watching live stream, was the crowed big?

[sterile reef]

lemme rephrase that, I’m stupid. for ppl you watched the livestream during bp, was the crowd big and good?

[fossil cave]

It was less of a crowd for week 2

[sterile reef]

oh really

[sterile reef]

i felt the energy was more tho, that’s what a lot of ppl said, idk tho, both weekends were amazing

[rigid token]

I mean that could also be relative to the area and people you were around. My friends who were spread out said it was crazy everywhere for weekend 1 and of course same for me up in the front

[sterile reef]

yea lol

man this weekend was amazing

four tet, Fred again, and skrillex were amazing

[sterile reef]

wow it’s all over. idk if I can go to encore

[rigid token]

Because of money or because Coachella is the new bar lol

[sterile reef]

money 😭😭😭

[rigid token]

Let me know I gotchu

[sterile reef]

no freaking way

🥹

[rigid token]

[austere oak]

I’m from the east coast so I’m going to encore in Jersey. Probably just get a seat area. Tired of fighting for spot in crowd after Coachella

[austere oak]

They were good. Think 182 did good for the situation

[rigid token]

Isn't the whole concert seated anyways?

Even VIP tiers say there are seats

[austere oak]

Seems their is a pit section as well. I’m not sure honestly

[rigid token]

Maybe pit stands but I know everything else is seated

[austere oak]

Ok. Don’t know if I want to be far on a field though. Lower level seating just sounds good and cheaper lol

Wish prices were out

[rigid token]

This all I could find

[austere oak]

Coachella was costly for me. I did sound check last year so thinking I’ll see what floor cost compared. My bday the day after so figured at least go see blackpink.

Though I liked their Coachella show a lot more.

[fallow fern]

yep im pretty sure prices are the same as when they were here

[rigid token]

This how much l liked their Coachella show more LOL

[rigid token]

Well. Time to fight lol

[austere oak]

@rigid token now I lied. I want section 3. If not I’ll go for 140 or 139 in Jersey

[rigid token]

Lol

Map out for NJ?

[austere oak]

Yea

[rigid token]

Im short AF. I need like row 1 for section 3 lmao

[austere oak]

Perks of tall is nice lol. I feel 7 to far where I rather it normal seats then

[rigid token]

2-4 would suffice for me if I'm in the front lol

[austere oak]

So after every Blackpink concert, I buy a photo collage and put up pictures. Coachella less Blackpink but festival good overall.

[thorn mulch]

whoa thats awesome

[fossil cave]

Beautiful

[bold gulch]

[modest blade]

[fallow fern]

[austere oak]

You are too brave.

[fallow fern]

[austere oak]

Yea I don’t like stress. Order first release and pay it off before hand and enjoy the show
