Coachella is like a magical music wonderland, a place outside of the "real" world where you can experience life in a whole new light (and sound). This years line up promises to be one for the ages.
They're the dream band opener. AC DC are legendary, and if you want a legendary year at Coachella, you better see them. This band has been around for decades, and they've been busy defining the youth of every generation since they've been around.
It looks like classic rock is it this year (and every year). You can't ignore the classics, and no matter how good the new bands are, these ones never fade away. You can't deny them, and why would you want to?
With the haunting hit "Take Me to Church", Hozier will be more than a show, it'll be an experience. If you get the same rush down your spine that I do when hearing this tune, it will be 10X more intense live. You wont even need drugs.
You know Drake, I know Drake, we all know Drake. Experience the entire crowd singing every single lyric to every sing song when you see this show live. Suddenly, we're all one through his music.
Their lyrics are still relevant. The best thing about this punk band is that they say something important. If you see their show, be prepared to feel empowered and enraged. It'll be more than just a mosh pit, it's a mosh pit with a social conscience (those exist, I swear).
Music that is complex and thoughtful. The world needs more of it. The world needs more of FKA Twigs.
Their sound was made for the music festival. It screams young and ready for anything. See this band with your favourite group of people, because that's how their music was meant to be heard.
He's been around for a long time, making waves in the background, but now he's everywhere in the light. His voice is stunning, almost uncanny. He's seriously one-of-a-kind, and that's rare these days.
Alt-J have a way of floating outside of genre. You can't really put your finger on them, but you know you love them. Every song feels like it was written for your own personal life soundtrack.
Milky Chance has that old school feeling, like you're chilling at a close knit community party on someone's lawn. That's what is so beautiful about their music. Strangers become friends while you share a dance with Milky Chance.
Pop culture and all that ideology sitting in the blind spot. Also crafts.
