Coachella 2008
 

Looks like the dates were subtly announced on their website:

April 25-27

So looks like another 3-day event - and probably time to make hotel ressies.

Rumors have already started that Portishead may play, but we've got till January to get the real story on all that.

Holy lord it feels like this JUST happened hahah... quick question, how much should one budget for Coachella? With the cruise the month after, I just wanted to see what we were talking about here.

I think last year the three day tickets with all charges came out to somewhere in the $250-$280 range.

One in the venue you are at their mercy for food and drink, I'd have at least $40/day to keep you in water snacks, and a meal or two.

The big expense is usually lodging (bigger now that it's 3-days). If there's enough interest among LoT renting a house might be an option, but if you're on your own and just want a Motel 6 for $80 a night you need to make ressies now. The weeks before only the $400/night properties were left. Of course there's always camping at the site, which is the cheapest method

I've never done. The heat scares me away. But perhaps this year.
