COACHELLA 2015 | LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT

The desert is calling us back. Today marks the beginning of festival season to me, as the Coachella lineup was officially announced this afternoon. Every year, this day is what gives fans permission to finally start daydreaming and planning for the return of outdoor festivals, palm trees, and summertime once again...and after these past two weeks of ice, slush and snow? I couldn't be more ready. I haven't seen a lineup this eclectic from Coachella for a few years, and it's got me pretty excited.

What name did you scream out loud as you read it off the list? What names can you not believe aren't there? Share with us in the comments section below, and we can all start daydreaming together. 

Tickets for the festival become available tomorrow (1/7/15) at 12pm PST/1pm MST, and as usual, they will go fast. Don't sit on this and wait, friends! Coachella is one of those things that you've got to experience at least once. Grab your flower headband, your swim trunks, and your earplugs, and brace yourselves.

The desert is calling, are you ready?

S.S. Coachella | Ready To Set Sail

​Classify this one under WTF.  The rumors have been buzzing lately as to the future of Coachella . Today Goldenvoice announced a strange twist to the on-going spectacle, announcing the creation of Coachella at Sea.  Read the excerpt below:

"S.S. Coachella is your chance to experience the music of Coachella in an intimate setting.  It’s everything you love about Coachella in an equally beautiful and peaceful setting with built in amenities.  Plus, as if the music, pool and buffet aren't enough to keep you busy, we have created some additional activities. By the end of the cruise you will be familiar with your fellow passengers, the people that bring you Coachella, the artists you know and the artists you don’t.  

Just like Coachella, you will be able to build your musical itinerary with your favorite bands you want to see and even add the activities you want to participate in.

We encourage you to take the time to look through our on-board events, check out the venues and start thinking about what your want to do on shore." [VIA]
