Coachella Full Speed Ahead
Coachella is one of the biggest music festivals in the country. People of all ages travel to the California desert to see the biggest acts perform. In other words, it's kind of a big deal. And it all happens this weekend.
As you read this, the young and fearless are loading up their cars for three days of rock, roll, and overpriced bottled water. Searches on "coachella" recently jumped 31% and will continue to climb through the weekend. Not surprisingly, Californians are most interested in the festival, but Texas and Arizona are also hitting the Search box in droves.
The lineup, as always, is impressive. On stage will be great acts like Prince, Portishead, Death Cab for Cutie, Fatboy Slim, and Roger Waters. Also performing will be Jack Johnson. Searches on all the performers are on an upswing, but Mr. Johnson leads the pack for reasons we're loath to explain.
Johnson or no, Coachela is a hot ticket. But what if you don't have the means to attend? Fortunately the handy-dandy Web has you covered. This article from USA Today explains that AT&T will be broadcasting portions of the show on its "Blue Room" web site. You can enjoy the musical stylings of the acts without the heat stroke. Huzzah!
