APW Festival

[sweetcell]

that, and/or which one to choose.  can't be two places at once  
 
 personally, i'm definitely doing APW on friday and am strongly considering saturday.  so depending on the VFest line-up, i could be at pimlico sat + sun, sun only, or not at all.

Boy, this changes everything. Virgin Mobile Festival is on the same weekend as APW festival, yet they don't have lineup already. What acts will Virgin Fest, known as Virgin Mobile Fest, get this year. It shaping up to be an interesting summer concert season.

Do the bands get paid THAT much more for playing a full set as opposed to showing up and doing a shorter set, or is limiting the bands and having them play a full set yet another way for greedy promoters to make more money?

 I hope they're planning on some heavy additions.

supposedly not.  they might add a band or two to each day, but the idea is to have all performers do full sets - which means they can't pack too much more into the lineup. [/b]

i'm wondering if this isn't forcing IMP's hand to reveal their line-up earlier than they wanted to... they should do it soon, before too many people start committing to APW (like buying tickets, which go on sale tomorrow).
 
 kinda crazy that it's february, yet i'm planning for festivals in *august*.  i only started planning for coachella 4 months beforehand, and that included arranging flights and hotels.

On a tangential note... do you think it's too late now to start planning for Coachella?  Or would I still have time?
 
 I am thinking that since there's no guarantee that Portishead is going to do a U.S. tour, I should either try to catch them in London on April 17 (tickets currently going for $120 -- ouch!), or go to Coachella.

FYI, there was a fanclub presale today and one-day tickets for friday and saturday went relatively quickly.  anyone thinking of single-day passes probably should grab them sooner rather than later (on sale is this saturday).  i doubt they'll be gone right away, but they won't last too long (i.e. a few days, methinks).  sucks that we don't have the VFest line-up, so no way to gauge the alternative/competition.

coachella now is still doable, espcially since this year isn't a sell-out yet and probably won't be.  PM me if you'd like a hotel recommendation, this place didn't advertize online and actually still had vacancy last year when we arrived for the festival (all hotels in indio will be spendy, fyi - "festival prices").  airfare should still be reasonable - fly into ontario airport if you can, cheap and closest major airport.
