Fatboy Slim's Coachella message that isn't getting enough attention

Fatboy Slim put this on his visuals during his DJ Set at Coachella: "The silicone feverdream has ended. A world of data now ascends. Where algorithms control the fate of every digital estate. The network's eyes are always watching as our data's mined and harvested. But there's still a hope to ouwit this world of tech and cyber-shit. The future's here and it's uncertain. But those with hope will never learn. That tech can bring us joy and bliss if we rise above the digital abyss."

What’s your must have item for surviving a music festival?

Festival season is starting again and everyone has that one thing they refuse to go without. Maybe a portable charger? Sunscreen? Hydration pack? Or comfy shoes?

So what’s the one thing that saves you every festival?

5-minute survey on music festivals & social media (NYU research)

Hi everyone, I’m a graduate student at NYU conducting a research project on the relationship between social media and interest in music festivals.

All responses are anonymous and will be used strictly for academic purposes in a class report.

The survey takes approximately 5 minutes and focuses on how people discover festivals and the factors that influence their decision to attend.

Any participation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support 🫶

Need help identifying prop cigarette in Sabrina Carpenter's Coachella set

https://reddit.com/link/1spo5cp/video/i2z63pcb74wg1/player

Help! I am an actor with an upcoming role in which smoking is required, and I don't want to ruin my lungs!

I was watching Sabrina Carpenter's weekend 2 Coachella set and noticed that she and her dancers were "smoking" some 'cigarettes'. They look a bit longer than normal cigarettes, but still look realistic and release smoke. After using them, Sabrina and her dancers were also able to tuck these 'cigarettes' away into a pocket in the car and their outfits, respectively.

I know herbal cigarettes exist, but I'd still rather not inhale any smoke during filming. I'm wondering if the 'cigarettes' in Sabrina's set are a new kind of prop I'm not yet aware of. I've attached some pics + video links to the 'cigarettes' in the set. Thanks in advance!

What’s something about Coachella that people don’t realize until they go?

From the outside it looks perfect, but I’m sure there are things that aren’t talked about enough.

What surprised you the most (good or bad)?

Jacksonville Jazz Fest VIP package

My Jacksonville Jazz Festival package just came in the mail. I paid for VIP for all four days to take advantage of the free upfront seating, food, and valet parking.

My box came with a ticket to the piano competition on May 21, my wristband for access May 22-24, a towel, a bag, a pin and a writing pen.

I'm looking forward to going for the first time in a while now that I can avoid most of the crowds.

Flying in - Camping set up?

Hi, I’ve been to a handful of camping festivals, but this will be my first time flying in for a camping festival. For those of you who have experienced flying in with camping gear, what was your set up? Tips and tricks?

I have a large SUV car rental, and 3 free checked bags with my airline. Flying into Seattle. Camping in Acorn.

Thank you! Very excited for my first Gorge experience.

Coachella wknd 2 parking

Hello, the plan is to find Sunday morning Rent-A-Car from Palm Springs Airport and hopefully get band from somebody leaving and then do the free parking. Can anybody elaborate on how difficult or easy it is to park at Coachella if I get there around noon?

Will call

Hi all, this is my first time purchasing Coachella passes and unfortunately I can’t make it anymore. I already found a buyer (my friends), but I wanted to ask for your advice.

I ordered two passes, but only received one in the mail (ugh my luck). I freaked out and contacted them via phone and live chat, and they told me the only solution is to go to will call. I’m going to drive there, but I want to make sure the process is smooth for my friends so they won’t have any issues entering on Friday.

Should I ask them to replace both passes or bring the one I received and have them issue the second one at will call? My main concern is making sure my friends won’t run into any problems getting into the venue, since I really don’t want to have to drive back again if something goes wrong.

Thank you💕
