Or know anyone who is going.?  2 of the GD are going with friends.  They were given some VIP passes (long story), and off they are going.  Oh to be young.  I would love to go just to see the clothes!

 

You won't believe this, but the GD's latched on to some fanny packs we had from the 80's.  I guess they are "in".  Good Grief, fashion is one big cycle, isn't it?  Love it!

 

Does anyone even know the entertainers there?

 

Thanks!

@shoekitty I'd go too if I were young.  I've watched a lot of shows about it.  I think it looks interesting.  My daughter was going to go but decided to go to Chicago to see a baseball game instead.

There's a story linked on Drudge about 30- and 40-somethings who spend thousands on liposuction and other look-young procedures, not to mention clothes, for Coachella.  One was a single mother who works as a hairdresser and spent $8K.  I wondered where she got the $$$. To each her own, but it seems like a waste to me unless you are rich.  Can we post links here?  If so, http://nypost.com/2016/04/16/meet-the-cougars-who-are-dropping-thousands-prepping-for-coachella/

Re: Anyone going to Coachella?

@shoekitty Evidentally we are the only one's who want to go!!  The problems I've been having with my knees and back I'd have to be helicoptered in and need a wheelchair!  Ha!

 

Good grief!  More and more I'm thinking....."If I knew then what I know now".  Ha!

Re: Anyone going to Coachella?

LOL I saw a list of about 20 performers and only recognized one.  😜

 

Guns N Roses is supposed to be performing.

@Ms X Yes, I post links all of the time.  I think you can spend a lot of money or a little money.  I've seen where a bunch of people get together and share expenses and I've seen where older couples bring or rent fancy mobile homes and go first class.

Re: Anyone going to Coachella?

My neighbor's daughter left Wednesday to go.  She's only a senior in high school.  She went with 3 other seniors.

 

I have no idea who is performing...

Re: Anyone going to Coachella?

No desire to go and it has nothing to do with my age.

If you want to watch performances live on youtube you can:

Take a good look at who is in the audience. Everyone is dressed like slobs.

I'd rather go to the Oscars and wear a fancy dress.Cat Happy

Re: Anyone going to Coachella?

I do recognize many of the performers. Would love to go to something like this, but I think I'd have the stamina to last only a few hours. Yes, the fashion there is a big trend-starter.
