If you could only attend 1 day, which day would it be?

[Jumala]

Is there a clear-cut favorite day out there? If you have limited time/means which day would you want to attend?

[paganman7]

Wednesday.

[jenni4]

I would only attend Saturday because I've been wanting to see RHCP for the past couple of years, and this will be my chance to.

[Rezzo]

Friday

Bjork
Interpol
The Jesus and Mary Chain
DJ Shadow
Peeping Tom
Sonic Youth

[york707]

Saturday, in spite of RHCP

[moniquedesha]

day three, no questions or doubts.

[FriskyDingo77]

gosh if I could just get the Arctic Monkeys on saturday!

[jenni4]

gosh if I could just get the Arctic Monkeys on saturday!

Yeah, I would be totally set if the Arctic Monkeys were on Sat. Ahh, oh well.

[brewsonme]

friday-bjork, peaches, brazilian girls,amy winehouse. awesome.

[James]

Friday has Bjork...
Saturday has the strongest lineup, excluding the headliner...
Sunday is decent all around but nothing mind blowing...

I'd probably go Friday.

edit: Oh, yeah, I'd definitely go Friday. It'll be the day with the least amount of people since most people hate Bjork and others will be working that day.

[Dannyboy3D]

Certainly Day 3...and that's not even taking into account Rage.

Manu Chao, Paul Van Dyk, The Roots, and Lupe Fiasco are gonna tear it up! Throw in a little Willie Nelson, and you've got the perfect recipe for a Chronic Concoction!!! It's gonna be tiiight!!!

[EuroTrash]

domingo

[ThomThom]

VIERNES

[MsTekno]

Sunday - no doubt - Richie Hawtin!!!! The only thing that would sway me is if they add Underworld to a different day.

[avonhun]

day 3. no question.

[ThomThom]

Sorry, I posted in Spanish for whatever reason...I would like Friday please

[asancho]

day 3..just because the Roots are awesome!

[mob roulette]

saturday is obvs the strongest day thus far.

[Freedum23]

Sunday by far! I've waited a very long time to see RATM take the stage again. Nothing could keep me away from *****, CA this year....:thu

[dizfactor]

I'm inclined to say Friday. I like a lot of the acts on Sunday, though.

[the goat]

All 3 are awesome but gun to my head would have to be Sat just b/c of Arcade Fire.

[woogie846]

Saturday has the strongest mid-day, but Friday has Bjork, JAMC, and Gogol Bordello, and Sunday has Rage...hmmm...

[KungFuJoe]

Friday, although I'm saddened by all the possible conflicts. This seems like the best possible day no matter which way you turn.

I think I'd die if they added another act in the Saharha, but I'd still love to see Royksopp.

[thom cobain]

interpol
bjork
jesus and mary
faithless
shadow
sonic youth
and a couple marley's

[summerkid]

friday.

Jesus and Mary Chain
Bjork
Jarvis Cocker
Interpol
Sonic Youth
Gogol Bordello
I mean I could go on and on there is not a band i dislike on friday outside of Amy Winehouse and circa survive. Thre are a couple of bands I dont know but I assume they are sahara acts.

[Good Days Last]

Bjork sucks.

End of story.

[SpartanKing]

Sunday for RATM. Had chance to see RHCP in the summer but I was in Vega$. SOld them on eBay, won them on KROQ.

[Maniaco78]

Sunday = R.A.T.M Reunion=Nuff Said.

[Boourns]

Friday has Jarvis Cocker, so it wins by default. And then there's the Jesus and Mary Chain reunion.

[paulb]

Sunday = R.A.T.M Reunion=Nuff Said.


word.

[amdux]

Bjork sucks.

End of story.


haha, that's a good one :)

that's like saying "the earth is the center of the universe"; you may want to believe it, but reality says otherwise :afu

[sighlent]

Friday: Björk

She is why I bought my tickets before the lineup was announced.

[brenda]

PEACHESSSSS! that bitch is gunna killll
howd u buy your tickets bfor?

[bradybaker]

Saturday!!!

Girl Talk, Andrew Bird, the Nightwatchman (Tom Morello), Sparklehorse, Peter Bjorn & John, Ghostface Killah, MSTRKRFT, Hot Chip, Regina Spektor, !!!, The Black Keys, The New Pornographers, LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, Kings of Leon, The Good The Bad & The Queen, The Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, RHCP

Holy cow that's a sick day. However....Rage is the essential show. I would consider trading all those bands to see Zach and the boys rock out.

Luckily, I'm there for all 3.

[MarshaLG83]

SUNDAY by far

[Californicator]

It's obviously Sunday.

[dualmoodswings]

el maldito viernes!, seguido del domingo, la verdad el sabado me aburre bastante.

thomthom gracias no me habia dado cuenta lo divertido que es escribir en español. JA!

[Foucault]

It would have to be Saturday:
LCD Soundsystem
Good, Bad, and the Queen
Hot Chip
the Rapture
!!!
Gotan Project
MSTRKRFT
and, yikes, Roky Erickson (still alive?)

[Courtney]

What is up with people not choosing Saturday? Crazy! It's so obviously the strongest cumulatively, in my opinion.

[amyzzz]

I only like 2 bands from Saturday, and I know I want to check out 2 others. Kinda of paltry for me. Granted, I need to do some more research, but Saturday could use another 2nd tier band/DJ.

[Dannyboy3D]

I won't lie--I'm not much of a fan of any of the artists playing Friday (minus Julieta Venegas), but I AM glad to see all the days nearly equally represented on the poll. Clearly it means Coachella/Goldenvoice is representing multiple interests and I really respect that!

[activenike]

saturday. except i wish john frusciante was just playing solo, without anthony kiedis sucking up the set.

blonde redhead
!!!
cornelius
coco rosie
ghostface
and the rapture is alright

[newalias]

Bjork sucks.

End of story.

The Chargers suck. That story never happened.

[newalias]

What is up with people not choosing Saturday? Crazy! It's so obviously the strongest cumulatively, in my opinion.

I think the majority of people who whine and moan on the message boards are over the chili peppers, which makes Saturday look horrible. Saturday will packed just as any other day.

[daniel]

i too am quite surprised that people are not recognizing how strong of a day saturday is. However i am not a RATM fan so i don't even plan on going sunday. Does that make me a bad person? everyone is so crazy about them.

[Boourns]

Sunday tickets no longer available and three day passes are apparently going fast. At this rate, I'll be lucky to attend a single day.

[Good Days Last]

The Chargers suck. That story never happened.
Yeah well...


Eff. Bjork sucks.

[filthpig]

i think friday is the most balanced, but sunday is going to be so fucking crazy after everybody has baked for 3 days in the sun. RATM will absolutely destroy the place, i never thought i'd see this day. been waitng to see them again since Lollapalooza 96'.

[amyisadork]

Friday
JAMC, Peeping Tom, Sonic Youth, Bjork

[JoeW88]

I'm paying roughly £500 ($1,000) mainly to see RATM, so my vote goes for Sunday. However, Arctic Monkeys put on a brilliant show so I'm looking forward to seeing them again, along with others like Interpol and Faithless on Friday.

Personally, RHCP will make Saturday for me, what's everyone's beef with them??? The Fratelli's are an excellent band and I hope to see them getting a good reception in the USA. Also, Nightwatchman will be great to see :)

Aside from the main reason I'm going, Sunday fares pretty well, with Placebo, Crowded House, the Kaiser Cheifs and the Feeling.

[erselone]

BJORK SUCKS....YEAH RIGHT. GOOD DAYS LAST............SURE......THEY LAST AS LONG AS YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM DID!!! CHARGERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET RID OF THAT SYMBOL...SIMPLY SAD!

[gmoneyak]

What is up with people not choosing Saturday? Crazy! It's so obviously the strongest cumulatively, in my opinion.


No doubt, my sediments EXACTLY... Saturday is the most well rounded, all-day, different genres..

[itsalltoomuch]

i like friday the best. bjork, dj shadow, peeping tom, arctic monkeys, el-p, busdriver! what other day has that?

[Alchemy]

I cannot miss Air.

[closer03]

Friday
Bjork!
Peaches
Peeping Tom
DJ Shadow

Bjork rocks all of Coachella!

[musicfan66]

I would definitely say Saturday, though Friday is very good too. If I was going(which I'm not this year), I would probably go Friday and Saturday and skip Sunday.

[C DUB YA]

Friday has Jarvis Cocker, so it wins by default. And then there's the Jesus and Mary Chain reunion.

Agreed.

Jarvis usually equals Jesus, now we get Jarvis AND Jesus

[C DUB YA]

No doubt, my sediments EXACTLY... Saturday is the most well rounded, all-day, different genres..

With the worst headliner.

[Diggla36]

The Jesus and Mary Chain reunion is going to suck.....just telling you guys now. I saw them in 92 and it was horrible. No one...except for the most hardcore of old school rabid fans will enjoy even a chord of it. They arent a strong live band. I think they should have tried to talk the Dead Milkmen into reuniting.....THAT would have been something to see

[GirlFromMars]

I'd go on Saturday. !!!, Regina Spektor, new pornographers, the decemberists, RHCP.
Friday seems cool too but I definately can't go on that day.

[interpolitix]

saturday has the recipe for a dance epidemic.

saturday!!!!

[McPussyHammer]

Friday only, no question.

Sonic Youth
Interpol
Jarvis Cocker
Jesus and Mary Chain
Gogol Bordello
Bjork

[gmoneyak]

With the worst headliner.

That's all good.. The headliner can serve the purpose of spreading out the crowd for me.. All 3 days!!

[CrackTheLoveCode]

It's a toss up between Friday and Saturday for me, with Saturday having just a little bit of an edge. I'm not too big on RHCP but I'm excited to finally be able to see the Decemberists and Arcade Fire never disappoints. That, and the bootie shaking potential for Saturday is nice.

[BirdMadGirl]

I am only going Friday. Maybe Sunday if my sis buys me a ticket.

[CuervoPH]

Sunday for me also, and I don't plan on seeing Rage. I'm really looking forward to JAMC and Jarvis Cocker on Friday, and Saturday is a strong line-up (RHCP excluded), but Sunday has so many acts I want to see (Crowded House, Air, Manu Chao, Rodrigo y Gabriela, The Coup, Junior Boys, Lily Allen, etc.).

I went with Sunday because Sunday is probably going to present me with the most conflicts.

[shant]

Sunday..
1. Rage
2. Infected Mushroom
3. Air
4. Manu Chao
5. PVD

[Anjelyka]

SATURDAY!!! Hands down....

[DblMintGum]

I am only going on Staurday.
Wily Nelson is da man!

Shooting for the stars to end all Cochellans Staurdy nights!

[MarkO]

It would be hard for me to choose between Arcade Fire & JAMC.

[iuseblenders]

There are so many amazing bands/groups playing that i would have no problem clearing my schedule for all three days.

Although RATM would be a historical event...

[vinylmartyr]

I can't pick just one!!!!!!

[clapyourhandssayno]

friday, no doubt. sure, there are tons of bands on saturday and sunday i want to see but bjork does not tour often or in my neck of the woods.

[celisnet]

Friday now with the adittion of Of Montreal!

[momof5]

Since I had to pick one I chose Saturday--Arcade Fire ,Decemberists Rapture,New PornographersOzomatli,Sparklehorse. But We are going all three days as always! Sunday my least favorite day- I am hoping to really like some of those bands I never heard of before. Good music on all days!

[DrBeast]

Day three hands down. RATM is all I need to decide that, but you also have Willie Nelson, the Roots, and Infected Mushroom. Oh hell yes. Day three no doubt about it.

[i_like_cake530]

Sunday = R.A.T.M Reunion=Nuff Said.

agreed

[deadguy]

The Friday lineup about does it for me with Bjork, JAMC, Peaches, Brazilian Girls & Jarvis.

But damn the Saturday lineup looks like an all-day dance party:
Gotan Project
Rapture
LCD Soundsystem
!!!
MSTRKRFT
Hot Chip
Peter Bjorn & John
Girl Talk

[shwagnut420]

Sunday no doubt just for RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!! I would sell my soul to see them live...luckily it only cost me a little over 300 bucks and a road trip!! But i am also looking forward to THE ROOTS!!

[shwagnut420]

DONT MISS THE ARCTIC MONKEYS ON FRIDAY!! YOU'LL BE SORRY!! THEY'RE F*CKIN AWESOME!!!!

[beautiful nemesis]

Sunday
Friday
Saturday

^__^

[rokky]

Definetly friday for me has the stronger lineup overall. Rage would just be a curio for me. But Jarvis Cocker on Friday hasn't played in a zillion years, so I am really stoked about that.

[livverachi]

SATURDAY ARCADE FIRE AND THE NEW PORNOS GAHHH I COULD JUST DIE



but I'm still going all three days. :)

[TheCutestBoyAlive]

SATURDAY, totally.

[hamsterpants]

I am only going on Staurday.
Wily Nelson is da man!
So much that you cant spell his name right??

Friday for me. With fewer people there, I can have an intimate sesh w/ bjork. and oh yeah PEACHES. there are a ton of great acts on friday.

[boarderwoozel3]

Sunday for sure. Something about the reunion of Rage after 7 years... yeah, it's going to be FUCKING EPIC!!!

[westlasoccermom]

rage. no hay un contesto. ghostface/r00ts/lupe/lily allen/willie nelson/ and oh RAGE... plus rage is playin... and uh i think they added, oh yes, rage. in a fit of _____. do the math

[jcconnors]

Thursday... you get to the polo fields and you start to fantasize about what friday and the rest of the weekend will instore. Lets also not forget the first brewskie you pop the top to:) it always tastes the best! Woops... I didn't read the question right.

[KRINGER]

Friday

Bjork
Interpol
The Jesus and Mary Chain
DJ Shadow
Sonic Youth

Agree 100% .. sunday w/ RATM would be killer if it was still 1996, lol.

Also interested in seeing Jarvis Cocker :eek:

[sadsappysucker]

Friday

Bjork
Interpol
The Jesus and Mary Chain
DJ Shadow
Peeping Tom
Sonic Youth

I totally second that, but add Tokyo Police Club

[closer03]

So much that you cant spell his name right??

Friday for me. With fewer people there, I can have an intimate sesh w/ bjork. and oh yeah PEACHES. there are a ton of great acts on friday.

You think its going to be an "intimate" bjork concert? HAHAHHA get there 5 acts early and MAYBE!

[ratmfan105]
