Coachella 2008
Posted by: Andrea R. on: January 30, 2008
I have never been, but this looks like the year I should make an effort to go. The event in years past, and with the 3 day entertainment packed lineup reminds me of one of the best concert events of my lifetime. 1997’s Rock IM Park, in Nuremberg, Germany.
The days are broken down like this…

and more
The ones I have made bold are the artists I am particularly looking forward to see. As the time approaches, I will probably discover music by the artists I do not know on this list and make judgments on whether to see them live. What makes this more than just a concert is the 3-day experience. Where you can camp on site. That was probably my best experience at Rock-IM-Park. The camping made me feel like I was there for the experience, the music, the friendship.
This is not an event you should go alone too, you should get friends, get a tent and get down with mother earth.
3-Day passes: $269.00
+ $3 charity + applicable service fees
