Sorta…

Apparently the organizers of Coachella are trying to negotiate a date for rock legend and all around chameleon, David Bowie to perform at the 2009 Coachella Festival. Having been on hiatus since 2004, Ziggy Stardust, only 8 years away from a whopping 70 years of age, is working on an album in Berlin.

Coachella head honchos attempted to get Bowie to play last year- he refused and they got Prince instead. With a recruit like that, Bowie is sure to take the bait this year right? Rumor has it that Bowie may be willing to resurrect the live set from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars in it’s entirety.

Now Bowie isn’t getting any younger, and if you’re planning on going to Coachella in 2009, you might want to grab your Coachella tickets now, because true Bowie fans will grab up the entire stock of Coachella tickets in anticipation of his androgynous alter ego – so keep checking back for more info!

There’s nothing like the festival atmosphere- the raw beauty of an enthusiastic sea of people gathering for a single effort- to see the most innovative bands live on a single patch of land. Now it’s hard to believe that in just a few months your back will be crisping under the Indio California sun but Coachella is fast approaching, and although that long stretch of holiday-free, winter misery is here, now is the time to plan. Coachella tickets are always in high demand, and professional festival-goers, like me, always snatch them up as soon as they go on sale. Why? Because planning is key and ticket prices always rise the closer you get to the event.


Now I’ve been to my share of festivals (a few Phish festivals, Bonnaroo, Langerado and Bisco) and I have to say, Coachella is really in a class of it’s own. Each year, Coachella gathers the most popular independent, electronic, rock and alternative bands around today. Past headliners include reunions by Rage Against the Machine and the Pixies along with sought out acts like LCD Soundsystem, The Beastie Boys and Prince. So it’s pretty clear that Coachella tickets guarantee a stellar, eye-opening music extravaganza and get this:

Coachella always has the hottest celebrities in the crowds, so maybe this year you’ll catch sight of last year’s attendees Elijah Wood, Sienna Miller, Dita Von Teese, Stephen Tyler and many many more!
