Music is one of the greatest joys in life. There is yet a day that I haven't gone to listening to at least one song. And having to see my favorite artists perform goes without saying is something I love doing.
I've always wanted to go to a music festival. Back home, the closest to a music fest that I'd be able to go to would be the annual Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco, but they've always had a weak lineup. As for Coachella, it would have been too far for my parents to allow me to fly down to Indio. But now that I live in the OC, Coachella isn't a far-reaching idea for me anymore since I live much closer. Coachella has always showcased some of the best artists in their weekend lineup and their headliners are some of the biggest names in music. This year though Coachella has disappointed me with one of their weaker years. And they sold out of single day passes, I am not willing to shell out $300 and hotel for the whole weekend.
This summer will hopefully bring better music fests. Just last week I heard news of the first Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in August at Golden Gate Park in SF, and to my surprise and glee Radiohead will be headlining. Also there was that Treasure Island Music Fest last year. It had a pretty solid lineup, but I couldn't go because of prior commitments, but later in September it will be returning.
Hopefully if their lineups are good enough you'll see me there amongst the crowds. Woot!
