Coachella 2019

I'm starting to think that the kids these days don't like rock and roll!

Khalid = the *second* name on Sunday?!

is he that big?

My 11yo stepkid is a fan of Khalid, and I didn't introduce her to his music, which means he really is that big imo. She's my barometer by who's actually famous these days lol. Other acts on this bill she's into: Ariana, Zedd, Billie Eilish, Kero Kero Bonito, Blackpink.

the kids love khalid

juice wrld is huge

don't really like going to these things but honestly there are plenty of acts i would love seeing on all three lineups

when did rufus du sol get second line of coachella big, i didnt think they were comparable in popularity to any other names at that tier

itt - me realizing that my knowledge of Jaden Smith’s music career and the fact that Khalid is everywhere on top40 radio sets me apart from at least some contingent of ilm

Also not that I’m ever in a position to go to this thing but I’m a big fan of the 2019 lineup, I can chart a reasonable course through Friday’s acts that would basically be heaven for me

Is Jaden Smith known for being a musician, like, at all?

He has a song on the Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse soundtrack

certainly better known for it than Idris Elba

^^^You Tube live stream times

thanks Bee OK! i'm a dork and i love streaming festivals.

Best seat in the house!

Calendar marked... only the first weekend is streamed, yeah?

they will actually stream, for the first time, weekend two as well but will be a bit different

For the first time ever, YOUTUBE MUSIC will keep the cameras rolling on Weekend 2, with a carefully curated live stream. COACHELLA CURATED, hosted by KCRW's JASON BENTLEY, will offer a slate of original content — encore and live performances, artist commentary, mini-docs, animated adventures and more — to accompany live music and in-studio interviews with performers.

http://www.youtube.com/user/coachella

5:55 p.m. – Kacey Musgraves (1) is now ON. didn't she do well in ILM's album countdown from last year? will have to check this out.

she is sort of amazing!

that was so fucking good, Kacey Musgraves has a new fan!

i hope at least one other ILXor will join me for The 1975 later tonight.

peace

lol at that Jaden Smith set, car in the air ect...

maybe i should get off the net for the next few hours

The 1975 are really streaming live in about an hour?

Wow.

i'll be here for the 1975. and Glover. and maybe others.

Kacey was great!

Blackpink's live performances can be patchy but they're kind of killing this set. A good show for K-pop's Coachella debut.

If there was ever a time to be on form it's now.

The West is the best

Get here and we'll do the rest

Of course they had to start with Give Your Self

We are The 1975 from Manchester

This is so much fun

what a set so far!

i mean not like it's a bunch of old nuggets from the early EPs or whatever, just all the singles from the new album :)

They are like the Modern day Talking Heads

I drank rum tonight please excuse my enthusiasm

Somebody Else is one of my all time favorites

this band is so fucking good. love it if we made it is just fucking massive.

i swear they should just finish their albums, then send them to me to trim off 15 or 20 minutes every time, and then release *that*, and they'd be the best band in the world. as it is they're pretty darn close and they release bloated albums.

live, though ... killer.

Haha

Rock and Roll is Dead

The 1975

Matty looks older and more grown up than ever before

that was beyond amazing

we are not worthy

10:30 p.m. – Janelle Monáe (1)
11:15 p.m. – Charlotte Gainsbourg (2)
11:25 p.m. – Childish Gambino (1)
11:30 p.m. – Nora En Pure (3)
12:00 a.m. – DJ Snake (2)
12:05 a.m. – Kayzo (3)

still to come and two or maybe even more could also be great

Life has come up, checking out

The 1975 promoting Brief Inquiry into Janelle Monáe promoting Dirty Computer turning out to be a surprisingly cohesive twofer
(Helps that I think something prior to The 1975 overran so there was very little time between the set streams)

highlight among highlights might've been I Like America & America Likes Me ... shit was intense.

Donald Glover's got a grey-ass beard, man!

Strong showing from the Childish Gambino set. We're clearly living in a post-Beychella world re: the camerawork these headliners get but Glover would have owned that stage either way.
Also sweet to see Janelle giving him a pep-talk when they followed him backstage, after she'd shouted him out in her set beforehand.

This is starting up again for the day.

So bummed that Aphex Twin are playing tonight but won't be on YouTube

05:00 p.m. – "Guava Island: A Childish Gambino Film" (1,2,3)

Might be interesting

🛌

Looking forward to this Tame Impala set. Still can't wait they are heading, let alone on Saturday night.

Wait should have believe

Makes me to want to do drugs. Not that I'm not messed up enough right now

The music is pretty good. A mix of a lot of things I have heard before.

They won't top Elephant

Making music to take drugs to

Rumor is Ariana will be joined tonite by Nicki Minaj and 4/5 of NSYNC (no JT)

He was the most talented one!

I'm looking forward to this Unknown Mortal Orchestra set

Tho it's all about Ariana Grande tonight.

I'm still very excited about the CHVRCHES as well tonight

Anyone else watching this Blood Orange set?

How was UMO?

where the hell is Ariana?

finally on!

the livestream keeps futzing for me

"R.E.M." sounds great

jam after jam after jam

the NSync thing was cute, glad they presented it that way as opposed to, idk, some monumental event

oh snap

I thought she had retired "Bang Bang"... I still love it so much! It's great to see Ari & Nicki perform together

awww yeahhh

oh noes

oh god, Mase can't hear and is rapping out of time

fuckin' lvoe this song tho

Nikki couldn't hear either, Bang Bang was a mess, but a fun mess

"NASA" presentation is beautiful... can't wait to see this show next month.

why not have Nikki come back out for The Light Is Coming?

Maybe she was supposed to, but said f that due to the sound issues? Apparently she couldn’t hear in either earpiece.

I wondered at first why Childish Gambino didn’t come out for “Break Your Heart...” — they’ve been talking about that — but my guess is they’ll do it the 2nd weekend, when Diddy/Ma$e aren’t there.

A loud helicopter woke me up around 3:30am, and I was convinced it was one of those high-rollers flying back in from Coachella (maybe landing at Van Nuys)... sort of shook my fist, lol... now I don’t know why I was so convinced (but I’d still bank on that hypothesis).

I know a guy who’s gone for 8 years straight... when I chatted with him about it last week (as he was getting ready for this year), he didn’t seem to really even know who was playing... I guess ppl just buy tix for the “experience”?

at least that way you’re not going to get annoyed by clashes

Also, the LA Times devotes a massive amount of coverage to the festival, as if it’s generally accessible to Angelenos and relevant to their lives: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/coachella/

(Don’t read the review of Ariana’s set in there, btw, it’s fuckin’ dumb)

This was an incredible weekend, maybe the best in all the years I've gone. Thinking about going back for the second weekend.

It’s almost a fact by now that almost everyone at Coachella are there fueled by social media and the music is just background noise. If you’re in there solely for the music there’s 10 other festivals nearby where you can see the same artists for 1/4 of the cost.

well, there obviously aren't, because of radius clauses. or on the other hand, it's a year since the festival and the new lineup of Soulwax haven't played the US outside of California.

Perfume is onn

That was emotional. Thank you Perfume for saving the world yet again.

now you can take a little peace of Chella home with you

HerpAlert confirmed they’ve seen a wild increase in prescriptions to treat the STD, even as early as the first days of the festival.

Oops, I read that as HerpAlpert
