  • CollegeHumor Delivers Very Honest and Humorous View of Music Festivals [WATCH]

    Festival season is one of the greatest times of the year for a music fan. Artists are constantly touring and making stops at a city near you, with festivals bringing together massive pools of talent into one place to make it easy to try and see as many of your favorite acts at once. Being outdoors in the sun and nice weather makes things more pleasant with friends and a cold beer makes things more enjoyable. But it is not always so easy-breezy. Festivals can be overcrowded, hot or rainy and awful scheduling conflicts can make seeing the two acts you had to see impossible. "CollegeHumor" summed up that sentiment perfectly in a video describing the struggle festivalgoers can face when attending a festival and trying to get past security, dealing with hours of unnecessary traffic and paying for overpriced food and drinks. Watch it below via "YourEDM."The Southern Hemisphere festival season is in full swing, and the folks down under and in South America are knee deep in these issues on a weekend basis. But up north, we await the arrival of March and April for the kickoff of the season with festivals in North America like Buku, Coachella, Ultra Music Festival and Hangout Festival.

  • Coachella Sells Out General Admission Passes in 39 Minutes, Breaking Own Record for Absurd Ticket Moving Time

    Yesterday we reported on the theoretical "battle" between Coachella and Governors Ball—the two festivals announced their respective lineups less than a day apart from each other—in terms of lineups but it's clear which still has the most fan appeal. Coachella put tickets up for sale the same day as its lineup announcement and both weekends for the event sold out within 40 minutes, setting a record for the event that typically unloads all of its passes in stupid amounts of time anyhow.
