Prince Added to Coachella

[Sage 703]

I'm too lazy to find the Coachella thread...but they added Prince to the Saturday night show, making it:
 
 Prince
 Portishead
 Kraftwerk
 
 ALMOST enough to get me on a plane...

Portishead and Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin are the reasons to go.

Didn't see that Aphex Twin was Saturday as well.  They're sold out of one day passes though.

Prince, Portishead, Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin are about the best one day lineup I've ever seen. Amazing.

Aphex Twin is actually on Friday - I double checked.

Then its less impressive. But still really good.

Never seen Prince or Portishead...but Aphex Twin and Kraftwerk are 2 very memorable shows. I would love to see Prince.

I've seen Portishead twice and it's just mind blowing.
 
 Prince is a definite hit or miss. He was horrible last time I saw him. He did about 1 minute of "When Doves Cry" and some other hit for 30 seconds. I don't understand when artists do medleys of their popular songs. HATE IT.

[eros]

I've seen Prince 5-6 times and he constantly delivers.  In fact, the show at the Warner where he did almost no hits was possibly the best one.
 
 I'd love to see him added at either Lolla or VFest.  If Radiohead is playing Lolla on Friday night, Prince would be one of the few acts "bigger" than Sir Thom that could be a Sunday night headliner.

am i the only one who misses the days of Coachella when it was 20 good djs, 40 bands you've never heard of, 1 good reunion and 4 bands from the 90s that you werent really bothered with seeing anyway.
 
  and when you went there were 25,000 people with ample bathrooms, shade and space to get up front and center for any band you chose?
 
  sigh...

Go to pitchfork festival.
 
 Chicago is better than the desert anyway.

Prince and Kraftwerk would definitely get me to V Fest. What I've seen thusfar won't.
 Still, kudo's for at least making it a local festival option every year.I hope it continues to do well. Bring on the Man Machine!

Yeah no way Seth will get Prince or Kraftwerk.  If he did they would have at least been announced as main headliners.  So a no go.

Prince on the Purple Rain tour was my first concert.  That was a long long time ago.
