The Go Go's, Misfits and Kraftwerk. Beth Gibbons but not Portishead?

Saw some meme that said your real age is 70 minus the number of acts you know on the Coachella poster.

LA Philharmonic backing the Misfits or GTFO

misfits being in the misfits font is killing me

how many phonecalls & emails did that take

Beth Gibbons but not Portishead?

Beth Gibbons put out a new album one month after the last Coachella. Portishead put out a new album one hundred and ninety-two months before the last Coachella.

do we want Travis Scott designing anything after, y'know

Saw some meme that said your real age is 70 minus the number of acts you know on the Coachella poster.

― Josh in Chicago,

Hilariously, this is 100% correct for me. I know 18 of the acts and I'm 52.

makes me 21. depends if that is 'know' or 'heard of' though.

I think I took almost 10 years off! My wife gained 10 years, lol.

By that metric, I'm 36. I wish.

i’m 27 (actually 37… but i do really feel like i’m 27 still just without quite as much of the mental illness)

Hmm, 32? Or 31, if you count that i saw the poster yesterday and looked up HorsegiirL bc I was confused if the band had run into copyright issues and learned that it was this instead.

Oh maybe I fucked up the formatting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUFr92i5jkA

Oh ha, I read the poster too quickly and thought it was the band, so I guess I'm 37 now.

It’s an actual horse girl?

HorsegiirL hides her identity behind a chestnut-coloured horse head mask;[1] Daniel Rodgers of Vogue wrote in November 2023 of being shackled by an "NDNeigh" to not ask "serious, journalistic questions about [her] provenance [or] distinct biological make-up", but noted that she was Berlin-based and that she had described herself as "half-horse, half-human".[2] She told i-D in September 2023 that she uses the real name "Stella Stallion", grew up on "Sunshine Farms", and had gone from "making up my own melodies in my head when I was a young foal" to being "discovered by Whitney Horston at a harvest fest" as a teenager,[1] and she told Rodgers that she had "been famous for a while" and that she had listened to the likes of Crazy Frog and Hampton the Hamster growing up.[2] In addition, a February 2024 ABC News article described her as a "Black woman/horse/DJ", and of Mustang and Haflinger descent on her equine side.[3]

That time there were two Horsegirls

Mmm I know 49 of those acts. Leaves me at 21.

Do you get years added on if you had to squint real hard to read the smallest print names?

Mmm I know 49 of those acts. Leaves me at 21.

we are both so down with the youth. ;-)

Do you get years added on if you had to squint real hard to read the smallest print names?

ha ha!

counted 31 artists i know on friday, i might wind up negative years-old

Ha, I mixed up the Horsegirls, too! So I guess I just lost nine years, not 10.

sweet, i'm 21 again

didn’t quite go negative, but i am 6

21 here too, counting as "have heard with my ears" vs 'am familiar with' or 'have seen the name'

I got my actual age.

counting as "have heard with my ears" vs 'am familiar with' or 'have seen the name' i have now aged to 27.

If we go by band’s seen then I'm 69. :-)

Green Day is the only one I have seen and do feel old seeing this year's lineup.

48 years old
"have heard with my ears" 35
Coachella age: 13

Can we find someone who knows more than 70 acts?

59 years old
Coachella age: 41
I've seen 7 of the acts on this bill already

43
Coachella age - 29
Pretty sure I've heard all of them at least once

Surprised Shaboozey is only third row font

I was really looking forward to being at Coachella this year, but due to unexpected personal reasons, I won’t be able to perform. I’m truly grateful to the festival for the invitation, their understanding, and continued support.

Not going to live blog like years past but looking forward to a few bands.

Tuning in for the Go Go's.

The Go Go's start in a few and watching this shoegaze band Julie now.

Julie were great even if they just want to be My Bloody Valentine.

Had to turn on The Go Go's

Jane Wiedlin has a Fuck DJT sticker ❤️

You guys are going to miss me when I'm gone

I bet Lola Young was good!

The Go Go's were fun with a Billie Joe Armstrong sighting.

Only other thing I'm watching today is The Marías.

I think I hate Coachella

I'm mlooking forward to The Marías will miss Miike Snow tho

The Marías were even better then I thought they would be, the audience loved them. Hush is still their best song.

I tried Missy Elliott but just isn’t for me. Going to see if The Prodigy does anything for me.

I like a Prodigy song here and there but Techo with in your face vocals gets old real fast.

Lady Gaga

She is actually killing it

Even with Lady Gaga set being otherworldly, probably most hyped for Charli xcx

Blonde Redhead were really good

She brought out Troye Sivan

and Lourde!

Lorde*

And now Billie Eilish

Bernie Sanders!

Nice of Clairo to give him a minute

It was hard hearing Clairo but I don’t think anything was wrong?

Switching over to Darkside

I thought this was something to do with that Spacemen 3 band, but they had a The in front.

This is still pretty cool.

Expecting this Green Day set to kill

Tre Cool looks like he just got a chemical peel this morning

Beth Gibbons is on

Green Day were alright

Green Day is totally hitting for me <3

lmao Billie Joe getting the guitar guy on stage only to find he’s a ringer who a) now he thinks he’s in the band & b) wont leave LMAO

dude has already updated his bio to PLAYED WITH GREEN DAY & is sending reels to management companies as we speak

The Original Misfits at Coachella 2025: A moment that's more than a show — it's a statement of history, influence, and reverence.

(Street Team)

Getting John Philip Sousa vibes from Travis Scott

Coachella Unveils Premium VIP Areas Where Fans Will Be Able To See, Hear Bands

Blonde Redhead brought out Troye Sivan?

Charli XCX did (Troye Sivan, Lorde, Billie Eilish)

So far I've only watched Charli, Clairo, Darkside. And part of Tyla's set Friday. They've all enjoyable to watch from the comfort of home

Bernie Sanders with Clairo

Seeing fans of Los Mirlos say they are the first Peruvian act to have played Coachella

I watched half of Gaga yesterday but forgot they don't seem to keep each day's stage streams up into the next day and not uploading or splitting it into specific artist sets is just dumb.

do we get to hear Bernie Sanders say "Clairo" like how he did with Soccer Mommy

they don't seem to keep each day's stage streams up into the next day

They do, you can rewind in them (at least in previous recent years)

There is not a lot I want to see today, especially after tons yesterday listening to music. But going to turn on beabadoobee.

Basement Jaxx + Kraftwerk could be fun.

Ginger Root on now

Aren’t there two guys in basement jaxx?. I only see the one in the hidey hole.

Oh. There you go.

Rema's set was weird. He was late, apparently? The time slot was mostly a DJ hyping up the crowd, and then eventually he showed up and did some songs, somewhat half-heartedly it seemed

Shaboozey was fun, there was a variety show-style set poking fun at the idea that he was the only country act ("Coachella's Country Hour"). He seemed genuinely touched by the crowd singing his big hit.

Watched most of Circle Jerks, Ginger Root were surprisingly good and then Basement Jaxx.

Zedd has a million guests

Ty Dolla $ign

Wait Kraftwerk finally

Transfixing, hope I'm not the only one witnessing this?

Kraftwerk is essential! Nice to see small attempts at remixing every now and then (aren't the robots doing The Robots anymore?), but they are also one of things you don't need to see every year, if that makes sense

Ralf's voice is getting a little wobbly too, but he is 78...

Kind of adds to the charm!

true! and I'm always surprised at how much they actually do play live when some bass line starts too soon for instance :-)

They do, you can rewind in them (at least in previous recent years)

That's what I thought but could only get back to the start of that day when I tried.

Yeah they reset once the next days show starts! But you do get 12 hrs or whatever to fill in gaps, and after that it seems more than fair that the free full-production livestream is only a livestream

Charli is an amazing performer… she absolutely commands a bare stage, no dancers, no props, no costume…

That was srsly one of the best televised pop performances I’ve ever seen

lol Clairo stream switching to ENHYPEN video feed for half of Bags

Charli’s set all Brat apart from Track 10. Feel like the arrangement could have been freshened up, Pop2 was 8 years ago!

("party 4 u" isn't on Brat)

Charli's weekend 2 performance perhaps even better than weekend 1? There hasn't been anyone else where we've immediately scrubbed back and watch their whole set over again.
