Never before have I ever wanted to travel to California for one weekend as bad as I do at this very moment. The 3-day lineup for the 2010 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is, without a doubt, one of the best weekend concert lineups I have ever seen. It's as if someone raided the better half, more like third, of my music collection and put them in a show together. This is excellent.
Faith No More, Gorillaz, Them Crooked Vultures, The Specials, Public Image Limited, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Devo, The Dead Weather, P.O.S., Sly and the Family Stone and many more plan to take over Indio, California on April 16-18. This, my readers and fellow lovers of all things awesome, is indeed one of the greatest festival lineups to ever exist. The only way for it to greater would be to have all of these acts on the same day. Then the world, much like that stage, would just collapse at the weight of its own awesomeness.
