This just makes me bummed that I already bought my coach tickets for 2013, and now I won't have the money to do the cruise... never the less, this would be awesome!

Weekend 1? I'll buy it off you if this is true.

haha yes weekend one! But there is no way, I bet the cruise is expensive anyways... And plus its my goal to finally go to coachella. I was supposed to go in 2010 and ended up having to sell my ticket

Shit. I actually like that lineup.
Still not going to go, though.

Why do all of these cruises have to be East Coast :(

warm water

Minus Alaska and Hawaii, where would they go off the west coast?

Most cruises here do Catalina and Mexico, but I know that's not ideal.

Long Beach also has a port and so does San Pedro I think.

just a feeling, but it seems to me like all they would have is house music and edc playing on this cruise. you can count me out.
back in my day a house is something you live in.

I came here to post about how much I hated the idea and it is omg coachella $elling out but now I AM TRYING TO IMAGINE THAT IT COULD BE CHILL... being out there in the middle of the ocean ...listening to some good tunes.... like, real guitars.... not just EDM... it could be cool. Still think its a bad idea and shows Coachella no longer as a unique singular experience but a "Brand." ~welp

A cruise?!? Out of Florida?! Am I the only one who thinks this is super douchey? It's completely ruining what Coachella is and their brand. If I wanted that kind of vibe I would go to Ultra or EDC.
not to mention extremely non-environmentally friendly
Confirmed: super-douchey.
I feel like the lineup for an event like this will be exclusively EDM like EDC or Ultra. I know it's cool and all right now, but I hope Coachella doesn't go down this path.
Completely agree. Coachella is special because its NOT all EDM. There's so many EDM fests throughout the world, but Coachella is just so much more.
There's no way you're gonna get a big amount of legitimate artists to perform on this cruise. Maybe a couple of them here and there will be down, but it's going to be an EDC Lite with a bunch of douchebag "DJs" for sure.
What, you're telling me you don't want to be stuck on a cruise with a bunch of shirtless frat bros raging to Skrillex? YOLO BRO #LEGGO
Yep. Coachella is special because it happens once a year. Having it multiple times a year or branching off into cruises or club shows dilutes some of the magic.
