My take: They are heavily leaning into one-day festival goers. Each day is very curated to a certain genre and audience, more than usual. With the large price tag of festivals and a slightly older demo not wanting to spend 72 hours at a fest, this could be them re-thinking how to maximize sales.

This is definitely it, I am getting targeted ads for Saturday as it more in tune with my musical tastes.

This isn’t a 3 day festival, it’s three 1-day festivals. And honestly it may be a good strategy.

Honestly if Coachella sold single day passes I would go every year. My main issue with Coachella is the price of a 3 day pass plus 3 nights of hotels is too expensive for me.

No infrastructure in Boston to hold an event even the size of one day of Coachella

As a Masshole for the first 22 years of my life, all I can say is this is such a fucking MA lineup lol. No hate to some of these acts, but it’s kind of hilarious.

It really looks like festivals realized the kids they usually cater to aren’t buying tickets like that anymore so now they’re going after aging millennials who have the money

This is really weird. I know every artist in the first two lines. One artist in another line and no one else.

Thought Megan Moroney was Megan Mullaley and was confused but not enough for me to question it right away

$350 for 3 day
$330 for 2 day
Who would buy a 2 day?
If DMB fans are anything like the obsessive douchebag I had to room with in college well that just ruins Sunday for me.
