Coachella Festival To Expand To Two Weekends In 2012

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 31st, 2011

Coachella, one of the most popular music festivals of the year, will be expanded over two weekends in 2012, reports Billboard.

The newly-expanded festival will be held over two consecutive weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The festival will apparently “attempt to produce two identical weekends” with the same lineup and locations.

On Coachella’s website, organizers say high demand and the rise of counterfeit tickets are the reason behind the expansion.

“We know many of you were unable to attend this year’s festival because passes sold out much sooner than anticipated. We were truly surprised by the overwhelming response and remain honored by your passion and enthusiasm. We also know some of you purchased through non-legitimate sources and were inconvenienced, gouged or totally scammed. We hope that these changes will give everyone the opportunity to purchase directly from Coachella.com.”

Rightfully so. This year’s festival, which ran from April 15 to 17, sold out in a week, leaving many fans avidly pissed. Performers included the Strokes, Robyn and Kanye West, among others.

The price for a three-day pass to the 2012 festival will be $269 plus fees. Weekend passes go on sale beginning this Friday, June 3, at 10 a.m. PT. You won’t want to miss it!

Kristen Cavallari from ‘The Hills’ – Cocaine Addict?

Posted by andPOP Staff on May 6th, 2010

This is a scenario where a classic PerezHilton cocaine picture would apply. Kristen Cavallari dismissed rumors that she used cocaine at this year’s Coachella Music Festival during an interview on a L.A. based radio show.

“Don’t you think it’s funny that Coachella was – what three weeks ago? – and it’s just now coming out when [‘The Hills’] is premiering?” she said on the radio show.

When the radio host asked Cavallari if she ever used cocaine, the reality star said,  “Yeah I have. I tried it in high school. I admitted it! I don’t like being around it. I think it’s kind of a shady disgusting drug.”

She further explained, “I’m the first to admit that I like to go out and have a good time. It’s no shock that I drink. I’m not doing anything that I shouldn’t be doing. Drugs scare me…I’m off of all drugs. I’m fine, I’m really healthy and take care of myself.”

Huge Climate Change Music Fest Coming to T.O

Posted by Sara Harowitz on February 24th, 2010

Even though Woodstock’s 40th anniversary concert never got off the ground last year, one of its creators is back with a big green bang.

The Imagine Music & Arts Festival, inspired by John Lennon’s song of the same name and his famous message of peace and love alongside 1969′s original Woodstock Festival, will be held at Toronto’s Downsview Park for three days this summer, reports CHARTattack.com.

The festival’s website describes the three-day celebration as “Woodstock for the Green Generation.” It is set to coincide with the Earthship Summit, an environmental meeting that plans on challenging the G8 summit this June and argue that world leaders are not doing enough to fix climate change and promote environmentally-friendly initiatives.

Movie Review: Taking Woodstock

Posted by Ilan Mester on August 28th, 2009

Taking WoodstockAng Lee literally makes Woodstock the backdrop to his latest film. The famous music festival is both seen from a distance and heard from a distance. If you go into “Taking Woodstock” knowing that, you won’t be disappointed (ie. you won’t expect to hear crazy Jimi Hendrix drum solos or Janis Joplin’s electrifying voice).

It’s clear that Lee and his longtime collaborator, screenwriter James Schamus, were less interested in showcasing the ‘60s festival itself and more interested in exposing the impact that Woodstock had and the impression it left on the era. The main problem is “Taking Woodstock” uses stereotypical characters to explain the impact of a larger-than-life event.

Based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, this comedy (which has its fair doses of drama) tells the story of Elliot Teichberg (played by Demetri Martin) and his family of struggling Jewish immigrants living in White Lake, NY. In 1969, Elliot stumbled across Woodstock and found a home for the festival without a home.

Elliot, who felt empowered by the gay rights movement, was originally working as an interior designer in Greenwich Village. However, he also felt he needed to lend a helping hand to his overbearing parents and their rundown motel in White Lake called El Monaco. Conveniently enough, Elliot was also the head of the local chamber of commerce, which allowed him to approve a permit for the three day “peace & music” festival.
