^ you must be a complete retard. I already explained myself in an earlier post. I didn't want to have to worry about it being sold out today which it did and I didn't want to get gauged by scalpers today which a lot of people are. I don't have to get a plane ticket, rent a car or drive very far so i didn't pay any more than someone coming from texas that paid retail. Your just mad cause you didn't get a ticket or if you did its a weekend 2 pass.
why would i do layaway when i didn't know the lineup yet. i got my tickets once i saw they lineup. Just give it up i was right and a lot of people on here were wrong.
never said i was a pro just a coachella vet and I'm not a scalper. you are wrong and i had no problem paying over retail i just wasn't gonna wait till today to possibly get ripped off. i bought tix at the perfect time. No stress and I knew the lineup. I was right you are wrong doesn't matter what you say or try to prove. once again your just mad cause you didn't get a ticket.
if you wanted to go bad enough you would have gotten tickets during the presale. You don't need to know the lineup, it's never not been amazing. also if you want to go bad enough you get get tix on stubhub. Sorry folks, I'm going to both weekends because even back in June I said "yeah I don't know what I'm going to be doing come April but I'm going to get these tix and if I can't go I'll sell them or figure something out then"
I love it enough that I had faith to do that. Maybe you will all learn.

Hey Guys, we knew Coachella would sell out so we have tickets for YOU TO WIN! Like this Page, Share this STATUS and visit us at www.skluse.com for more chances to WIN!
@2:25 That makes no sense. They spend all night cleaning up the fields for the following day. When you go day 2 and day 3, all the toilets are emptied, trash picked up and everything is in order. Weekend 2 should be no different especially given that they have an additional 5 days to primp things up. Keep in mind that Coachella is preceded by Stagecoach Fest and they still manage to get it together.
It's grass. There's no rain and dirt ball fields like you get at Lolla. The entire south stage was a swamp this year on day 2 at Grant Park. The grass at the Polo Fields is going to be just fine on the second weekend.
i'm in utter shock about the sell out. I bought during the presale just so I could afford it. And when the lineup came out, I was really sad about it. I thought it sucked and its wouldn't sell out.
I'm wrong. So wrong.
I guess Coachella is now a true event that you go to, even if you don't like the bands.
wow. still stock!
congrats to GV. Paul T does know what the fuck he's doing after all!
Coachella = the new Glatonbury. Next year they are going to have that big pre-registration BS. NOBODY is going to be able to get a ticket before the lineup drops next year. Shit's unreal.
Yes there is no Glasto this year so that maybe one reason. I hope those euro bastards dont try to bring their fucking flags because i will rip them out of their hands. If you ever watch videos of Glasto on palladia you see about 1/10 of the crowd has huge banners etc. Terrible
Coachella will now be two weekends from here forward and the first weekend will always sell out without a lineup announced.
Anybody else get a pass through Radiohead's website? After jockeying on Coachella.com and getting shut out of both weekends at 10:45 I figured I'd check Radiohead's tour dates. Turns out you could buy the Coachella passes with no wait @$350 right off the site.
Monk! Thanks for your service. Please disable comments next year so we can follow your findings without crawling through all the bullshit from the blog-holes on their mom's laptops. See you next year!
Easy as hell to get passes on the Radiohead WASTE ticketing site yesterday. In fact, they were still available 4-5 hours after Coachella.com had completely sold out. You just had to hit F5 continuously, or if you were smart, use Check4Change set at 2 seconds. I pulled 10 tickets between 2-6 pm.
LA Jay is right, althought the announcement won't be soon. It's coming in late March. Despite the sell out of both weekends, GV has been desperately calling agencies trying to book another headliner for Friday night.
GV is a conservative bunch...they held back a number of artists just in case the second weekend didn't sell out right away. The adds that are coming will ensure that Coachella sells out Glastonbury style for the next decade.
if they have already negotiated contracts with act to be added later,before the tickets went on sale, they still have to add them. Just because they sold out doesn't mean they can just cancel contracts with signed acts. I still anticipate we see New Order and Bjork on that lineup.
There will definitely be a few adds but nothing that's going to get the masses all worked up over. The Black Keys are headlining Friday. If they were bringing in Bjork it would have been announced already.
Again, there will be adds but nothing top-4 line worthy.
We need some adds on the 2nd line!! I mean, we need a bold second line with only two names, like it used to be before! I know I know, there wont be any... But I still have hope!
You are all such whiny little cunts. You berate Monklish for info leading up to the lineup announcement, call her names when she gets some bands wrong and now you are begging for adds.
If the lineup isn't enough for you, sell your fucking tickets and stay home.
Wait - so do people actually think there will be additions? I am just surprised by how many LESS acts are playing this year rather than last year and not just the dome acts. I hope they add two or three acts a day and have one of them be fairly big. anyone have the 411
Unfortunately I think that there will be no adds. If I'm not mistaken, last year that had late adds was 2008 with prince right? And that was when they sold tickets for each day and they were having troubles in selling tickets for Friday. Now it's sold out already in FUCKIN THREE HOURS!! It doesn't make sense business wise to add acts to the line up.
420: Prince was signed before the original lineup was announced. He was not a late add. He was a late announcement. There's a very distinct difference.
Now that Coachella is to the point of guaranteed sell outs yearly (with even average lineups), it makes a lot of sense business wise to hold some names back and add them closer to the festival.
It creates a second round of media and buzz, keeps fans interested in the gap between initial lineup and adds, and it will only drive up the market demand for future years if the added names are big enough.
If the ultimate long term goal is to guarantee that future years sell out both weekends during the presale (without having to resort to a second round of sales when the lineup drops), then making this year an absolute must see blowout is a must and goes a long way toward making that goal a reality.
As of now, this lineup is not an absolute must see. It's a good lineup, but it's nothing extraordinary. With another headliner added and a couple more solid sub heads, it could turn into a monster, and probably guarantee that the pre-sale for 2013 sells out both weekends.
Lineup is awesome, but there will definitely be some adds. Guaranteed. I don't expect a headliner level name to get added, but there will be some decent 3-5 line stuff added on there. There will be some stuff that should quell some of the bitching about the Sahara (I know of one in particular), so hang tight.
FUCK WE NEED SOME LATE ADDS!!!! THIS YEAR IS BY FAR THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! SAHARA IS PATHETIC AND THE 50% OF THE REST ARE EITHER NO NAME INDIE BANDS OR OLD PEOPLE GATHERING FOR A REUNION. NO REAL ROCK AT ALL!
Love all the idiots who think there will be significant adds.
GV is going for a straight up money grab this year. Two weekends sold out with 30-40 fewer bands than the last few years. That means less money going out and a shit load more money coming in.
If you haven't figured it out yet, they're trying to rape you for every penny you got, while giving you less and less every year and expecting you to be overjoyed just for the privilege.
^^Nice try, but I'm the one profitting from the GV cash grab and all the suckers willing to pay way over face. I loaded up on pre-sale tix, and they've been flying out the door on stubhub and ebay for double what I paid.
Another couple dozen and I'll have cleared $22k in profits.
Better yet, I'll be in VIP watching the third rate lineup high as fuck and laughing at all the suckers in general admission for paying off my car.
You are the reason there can't be anything that's not about profit. A festival meant to bring people together over their love of music and art, u have to ruin with scalping. Anyone could have done that and the decent people who go to this festival didn't. Have fun hob nobbing in VIP witha bunch of blowhards. I prefer to be with the people who want to feel the music and the energy of the festival. And who had to Maye give up something to be there so they appreciate it. Honestly all I can say is go fuck yourself. Oh, and Douche.
Ohhh the big bad almost millionaire scalper that is about to make 22K is coming to blogs comments sections to brag about his accomplishments?? Try again Chester!!
@407 - Don't know what you're talking about. I AM bringing people together. Just charging them a premium to make up for the fact that while they were either lazy or broke during the presale, I was expending time, effort, and capital. Everyone had plenty of time to plan ahead and secure tickets, but many chose not to. Now they're paying the market price for that choice.
@438 - Nope, need to sell around 90. And it's not difficult to set up numerous accounts with different info/cc's. GV doesn't care and puts ZERO effort into enforcement. They want to move product and are more than happy to overlook clear indications of large-scale purchases.
@441 - The only thing I enjoy more than taking easy money from suckers is taking it from hipster douches.
See you at the 2013 pre-sale. This year I should be good for at least 350-400 tickets.
Hey as a sidenote I think I may have miscalculated and sold the last of my 90 tickets without holding one back for myself. Is there anyone on here that has a ticket they want to give to a fellow lover of music for face value?
I promise to really love all the music and art and respect the "vibe" of Coachella.
Thanks fellow hippies, I know we can all come together for the collective good and get me my ticket at a reasonable cost.
^ How do you figure? No dates available the first weekend, he has shows Friday and Sunday on the East Coast and yeah he has a gap between a show in Albany NY and one in California...Think it may take a few days (4-5) to travel cross country with all the tour gear? Dumbass
You can all relax. There are no new additions coming. What you see is what you get.
Fewer bands was a conscious choice by GV to get longer sets (a major complaint from artists in the last few years) and ease the time crunch of shuffling too many bands in and out.
The people claiming adds are coming are engaging in wishful thinking, just like they do every year.
possibly someone to replace la roux - other than that, no ads. They are considering Garbage, Goldfrapp, washed out and someone else for la roux spot. but no offer out.
They have new music thats a fact. If not a late add for this year, 2013? I really think they need to make this year an absolute blowout to sell out two weekends consistently but I don't run GV so...
You know Monk you really fucked up this blog this year. No one is commenting anymore because you changed the format of not being able to go to the last page of comments and then post from that page. You also sucked it up with answering any questions. I know people post a bunch of shit on here all the time but if that somehow got to you, it shouldn't half the people on here are trolling. Any word on art installations, dome, additions?

LAYAWAY PRESALE...MR. 6 YEAR PRO!
why would i do layaway when i didn't know the lineup yet. i got my tickets once i saw they lineup. Just give it up i was right and a lot of people on here were wrong.
You could have then sold your tix for more if you didnt like the line up...whata genuis...pro!
never said i was a pro just a coachella vet and I'm not a scalper. you are wrong and i had no problem paying over retail i just wasn't gonna wait till today to possibly get ripped off. i bought tix at the perfect time. No stress and I knew the lineup. I was right you are wrong doesn't matter what you say or try to prove. once again your just mad cause you didn't get a ticket.
Both weekends are SOLD OUT! Weekend 2 sold out in less than 3 hours. Holy crap!!
damn i guess coachella friend was right about tickets.. much respect. Ill listen next year.
if you wanted to go bad enough you would have gotten tickets during the presale. You don't need to know the lineup, it's never not been amazing. also if you want to go bad enough you get get tix on stubhub.

What's so wrong with weekend 2?
^ guess you weren't there for the big 4 last year.. the whole place was a wreck. It felt like using a hotel room after a john and a hooker got done.
@2:25 That makes no sense. They spend all night cleaning up the fields for the following day. When you go day 2 and day 3, all the toilets are emptied, trash picked up and everything is in order.

Keep in mind that Coachella is preceded by Stagecoach Fest and they still manage to get it together.
Coachella Friend, what 6 year 'veteran' doesn't get tickets at the earliest opportunity? Dickhead. I call shenanigans.
I agree with 3:31.
It's grass. There's no rain and dirt ball fields like you get at Lolla. The entire south stage was a swamp this year on day 2 at Grant Park. The grass at the Polo Fields is going to be just fine on the second weekend.

And to have both weekends
sell out in 3 hours. Holy shit.
I used to buy my tickets the day
before the festival.
Isn't this the year no Glastonbury Festival ? maybe all the UK crowd is coming.
@458....except the lineup is amazing. And Radiohead has been desired at Coachella for a long, long, time.
Coachella = the new Glatonbury. Next year they are going to have that big pre-registration BS. NOBODY is going to be able to get a ticket before the lineup drops next year. Shit's unreal.
id prefer Deadmau5 over The Black Keys
Deadmau5 will never headline Coachella. And they aren't going to bring him back every other year.
But if you had gone in 2010 you'd have gotten to see a pretty cool deadmau5 show (cube debut).
The Cube debuted in '09 with Etienne de Crecy.
Yes there is no Glasto this year so that maybe one reason. I hope those euro bastards dont try to bring their fucking flags because i will rip them out of their hands. If you ever watch videos of Glasto on palladia you see about 1/10 of the crowd has huge banners etc. Terrible
Coachella will now be two weekends from here forward and the first weekend will always sell out without a lineup announced.
Monk, any input on possible late adds? Nothing outlandish but Friday could use an artist or two.
Does the sellout eliminate any chance of an add?
Anybody else get a pass through Radiohead's website? After jockeying on Coachella.com and getting shut out of both weekends at 10:45 I figured I'd check Radiohead's tour dates. Turns out you could buy the Coachella passes with no wait @$350 right off the site.

^Monk don't disable the comments.
Flags aren't allowed at Coachella.
I know flags aren't allowed but neither are drugs. And I saw both of them there last year.
Flags are for Eurotards and Canadian backpackers.
Easy as hell to get passes on the Radiohead WASTE ticketing site yesterday. In fact, they were still available 4-5 hours after Coachella.com had completely sold out. You just had to hit F5 continuously, or if you were smart, use Check4Change set at 2 seconds. I pulled 10 tickets between 2-6 pm.
Acts that can save the sahara....EROL ALKAN, SIMIAN MOBILE fucking DISCO, Digitalism, claude vonstroke!!!!
Dance electro act that need to be added to mojave/gobi so we dont cry ourselves to sleep....
ROYKSOPP, VAN SHE, MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS, Goldfrapp!!!!
And The Roots during the day please
adds a possibility monk?
Anyone think that thom yorke is going to play with both flylo and modeselektor??? he has multiple songs with both artists...
Last I checked, you don't wave your drugs high in the air for everyone to see.
At 11:26 - ya lets go back to 07-08.
Bat for Lashes are playing. Their management requested to withhold the name from the lineup until the new album is announced next month.
^^
why would they do that ?
How about getting the buzz
of everyone going checking out
all the music you currently have
and getting excited about it.
you won't have to wait too long for a huge addition to the lineup...Coachella tickets will be selling for $1000+ after the announcement.
LA Jay is right, althought the announcement won't be soon. It's coming in late March. Despite the sell out of both weekends, GV has been desperately calling agencies trying to book another headliner for Friday night.
anyone think that one of the reasons there are less artists is that maybe GV had to give larger set times to entice people to do the 2 weekend setup?
I know 2011 had a bunch more artists but maybe this is just a reduction and lack of a dome
GV is a conservative bunch...they held back a number of artists just in case the second weekend didn't sell out right away. The adds that are coming will ensure that Coachella sells out Glastonbury style for the next decade.
There is no reason to add a new headliner. None, zero, zippo. Just some smaller adds.
The reason to add a new headliner is because the Black Keys are not a headliner.
Aphex Twin will be added to sunday.
Aphex Twin will be added to sunday.
if they have already negotiated contracts with act to be added later,before the tickets went on sale, they still have to add them. Just because they sold out doesn't mean they can just cancel contracts with signed acts. I still anticipate we see New Order and Bjork on that lineup.
If you're still anticipating New Order let me kill your hope:

They aren't going to add any other acts, there is simply no need to. It's sold out, dumbass.
add roger waters friday
Roger Waters will not be added. You heard it here first!
anon: 1251
you're an idiot.
radiohead will be replaced by no doubt
There will definitely be a few adds but nothing that's going to get the masses all worked up over. The Black Keys are headlining Friday. If they were bringing in Bjork it would have been announced already.
Again, there will be adds but nothing top-4 line worthy.
Bjork could still be added. She may already be signed but the announcement may be delayed by promoter's request from the NYC residency.
The War On Drugs
We need some adds on the 2nd line!!
I mean, we need a bold second line with only two names, like it used to be before!
I know I know, there wont be any... But I still have hope!
We need a Sunday that doesn't suck!
soon...
beaner...
Monk, could you comment on gv adding more quality bands. Pretty please :))))
Monk we begg you!!
Please say something about any adds on the line up.
Thanks!!
You are all such whiny little cunts. You berate Monklish for info leading up to the lineup announcement, call her names when she gets some bands wrong and now you are begging for adds.
If the lineup isn't enough for you, sell your fucking tickets and stay home.
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Swedish House Mafia will play Sahara opposite the Black Keys...Daft Punk closing the main.

Ohhhhh you scare me!! You're such a badass!!!

It would make no sense to have your most desired headliner open a 3 day festival
^ tell that to Paul McCartney.
Unfortunately I think that there will be no adds. If I'm not mistaken, last year that had late adds was 2008 with prince right? And that was when they sold tickets for each day and they were having troubles in selling tickets for Friday.
Now it's sold out already in FUCKIN THREE HOURS!!
It doesn't make sense business wise to add acts to the line up.
Hey, my comment was posted at 4:20!! That's a sign!!! There will be an add on the Friday line up!!!!
you are indeed terribly mistaken..
I am NOT adding anyone to
the lineup.
If you don't like the lineup
the way it is - you should not
come to my festival.
420: Prince was signed before the original lineup was announced. He was not a late add. He was a late announcement. There's a very distinct difference.
there aren't even enough bands to fill out three days and five stages this year...THERE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE SOME ADDS.
Eminem

Hey Paul, thanks for stopping by and leaving your impressions.
This is why Coachella is what it is today.
Oh and by the way, your lineup for sunday SUCKS MONKEY BALLS!!
Yours truly,
-E
Agreed. Sunday is shamefully bad this year.
I have an inside source at AEG who says that the lineup is final, no adds.
Then why don't you cite the source?
Let's find it out by ourself..
I've got the Coachella Tickets and will be catching the live fun :)
Enjoy!!! :)
My inside source at GV says that instead of adds, they're going to subtract some bands in a few weeks. Brilliant strategy if you think about it.
Addition by subtraction! Brilliant!
My Morning Jacket, Little Dragon & James Blake will be added to sunday
Four Tet, New Build, Holy Ghost! are being added to Friday
They are trying to spread some bands out of saturday to the other two days.
Anon 1:04 You are ridiculous.
1:04 got one act right.
holy ghost?
FUCK WE NEED SOME LATE ADDS!!!! THIS YEAR IS BY FAR THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! SAHARA IS PATHETIC AND THE 50% OF THE REST ARE EITHER NO NAME INDIE BANDS OR OLD PEOPLE GATHERING FOR A REUNION. NO REAL ROCK AT ALL!
Sahara is better than you think...not as good as in the past, but just do more drugs and you'll have fun.
california has the biggest music snobs in the world. i wanna kill all you hipsters.
indie hipster faggots
Love all the idiots who think there will be significant adds.
GV is going for a straight up money grab this year. Two weekends sold out with 30-40 fewer bands than the last few years. That means less money going out and a shit load more money coming in.
If you haven't figured it out yet, they're trying to rape you for every penny you got, while giving you less and less every year and expecting you to be overjoyed just for the privilege.
Keep dishing it out, suckers.
^ sorry you didn't get tickets...try layaway next time ;)
Oh suh-NAP!
^^Nice try, but I'm the one profitting from the GV cash grab and all the suckers willing to pay way over face. I loaded up on pre-sale tix, and they've been flying out the door on stubhub and ebay for double what I paid.
Another couple dozen and I'll have cleared $22k in profits.
Better yet, I'll be in VIP watching the third rate lineup high as fuck and laughing at all the suckers in general admission for paying off my car.
lol
oh shit 22k? that's incredible! That's so dope!
You better be careful, people at coachella won't take kindly to the young billionaire boys club jacket you'll be wearing.
another couple dozen? How many presale tickets did you buy scalper?
Bought 90 total. Been averaging $250 profit per.
Dick
^^I had the foresight to buy a commodity low and sell it high. If that's a definition of a dick, I'm guilty as charged.
If the two weekend setup had been a flop, I'd have been stuck selling at a loss after costs.
I took a risk and it paid off. We in the real world call this captialism. You in the whiny bitch world cry about wanting things to be "fair."
Boo fucking hoo. Coffee is for closers.
who are you even talking to? you sound like you're full of shit.
You are the reason there can't be anything that's not about profit. A festival meant to bring people together over their love of music and art, u have to ruin with scalping.

Honestly all I can say is go fuck yourself. Oh, and Douche.
@10:19, how did you buy that many tickets? There's 4 ticket maximum per weekend. To clear 22k in profit you need to sell around 70 tickets.
Ohhh the big bad almost millionaire scalper that is about to make 22K is coming to blogs comments sections to brag about his accomplishments??

^ How do you figure? No dates available the first weekend, he has shows Friday and Sunday on the East Coast and yeah he has a gap between a show in Albany NY and one in California...Think it may take a few days (4-5) to travel cross country with all the tour gear? Dumbass
Coachella would provide the backline. derrr
thats what them airplanes are for. derp!
,
less bands = (maybe) longer sets.
Every year there are less bands, people get excited about longer sets. Longer sets have yet to happen. Late adds almost always do.
bump
Has anyone done the math to see how right or wrong Monk was this year??? What was her % ???
BIG HUGE MEGA NEWS in the next 48 hours...
;D
...
The BIG HUGE MEGA NEWS is going to involve a switch from Heineken to Milwaukee's Best as the official beer of Coachella.
So stupid...
You can all relax. There are no new additions coming. What you see is what you get.
Fewer bands was a conscious choice by GV to get longer sets (a major complaint from artists in the last few years) and ease the time crunch of shuffling too many bands in and out.
The people claiming adds are coming are engaging in wishful thinking, just like they do every year.
Oh shit
hi
anyone know if theres going to be an after hours stage on the camp grounds this year?
double oh shit
where are all the comments?
Cat Power and La Roux are gone
Cdd
There will be no additions - possibly will replace La Roux with someone but they are not considering it right now
"it's sold out, the people clearly are okay with lineup" was the jist i got from GV reps
Don't buy pre-sale tkts if you care about the lineup - moral of the story
sorry guys
^incorrect, adds are coming...Garbage for one.
^this is what I heard from someone in GV PR who I believe. Although maybe Garbage will replace La Roux and they'll find someone for Cat Power
Other than that, no additional adds were planned for the original lineup
Jumbaco will be replacing burgerito on the lineup
any adds coming?
possibly someone to replace la roux - other than that, no ads. They are considering Garbage, Goldfrapp, washed out and someone else for la roux spot. but no offer out.
Garbage would be a very solid add and their warm-up show at the El Rey on 4/10 makes it seem like we're just waiting for the Coachella announcement.
Monklish, do you have any info? shouldn't be too hard to dig something up on this one..
Bump

THE ROOTS
STRFCKR
METRIC
!!!! LITTLE DRAGON !!!!
If sasquatch can do why not coachy baby????
And fuck no to garbage no fucking way
Is this lineup needing to go that fucking retro. Its depressing enuf we dont need garbage.
Goldfrapp ftw
triple oh shit
Wow.
(I wonder why it was removed?)
What was the deleted comment?
2012 = 2008
Daft Punk are touring this summer...it's leaking out everywhere. Will they be a surprise add at Coachella? I guess we'll just see about that.
Where is this leaking?
heard lolla was getting daft but def. not a lock - they will prob tour seperate from a festival
there will be no ads to coachella lineup - one possible replacement for la roux
http://consequenceofsound.net/2012/02/nile-rodgers-confirms-daft-punk-collaboration/
They have new music thats a fact. If not a late add for this year, 2013? I really think they need to make this year an absolute blowout to sell out two weekends consistently but I don't run GV so...
derpity
DEAD
Monk, you've deserted your blog.
Even all of the Walter J's have gone.
I guess this is it, one shitty lineup over 2 weekends. Good luck selling out 2 weekends next year.
Coachella has eaten itself.
quad oh shit latte
You know Monk you really fucked up this blog this year. No one is commenting anymore because you changed the format of not being able to go to the last page of comments and then post from that page.
You also sucked it up with answering any questions.
I know people post a bunch of shit on here all the time but if that somehow got to you, it shouldn't half the people on here are trolling.
Any word on art installations, dome, additions?
I'm just posting to see the other comments. That is all.

Set Times? April 1st maybe??
April 10th. Do we really have to revisit this EVERY YEAR?
Yes, set times, a huge add and layaway info for 2013 will be announced on April 1st.

For those of you interested in Coachella, here is a link to an unofficial guide book that they're selling on Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/151795. I wish I could make it to the festival this year!
