Coachella 2009 - lineup revealed...

...and I'm underwhelmed. In three days of music I'm only excited about 7 acts and I've seen at least 3 of them before.

Friday:
  • The Black Keys
  • Girl Talk
  • Felix da Housecat
  • Gui Boratto
Saturday:
  • MSTRKRFT
  • Junior Boys
Sunday:
  • Groove Armada (DJ Set)
Tickets are about $308.30 for 3 days ($269.00 + $12.00 Facility Charge + $22.20 Convenience Charge + $5.10 Total Order Processing). That's about $44 per band excluding flight, accommodation, car rental + gas, supplies, 2 days vacation...So I'm sorry Coachella but this year, my answer is "No thanks".

PS I think this is my first post about something I didn't do. I hope it's not the beginning of a trend.

Hi Luke,

I was actually impressed with the Coachella lineup (Paul McCartney, The Killers, The Cure, Franz Ferdinand -- decidedly mainstream!), but the price of the event plus the costs you mention make this a "no" in my book also.
