  • Tomorrowland, Coachella Most Popular Festivals Of 2015 So Far According To Viagogo

    2015 has just started and we are already becoming overwhelmed with news for North American festival season. While our friends down in the Southern hemisphere continue the outdoor party until the weather no longer permits, the temperatures will soon warm up in the north and our sun-deprived skin will return to the light once again. With all of the news surrounding festivals to kick off 2015 as they compete with each other over the same 18-30 year-old market of music fans, Viagogo has compiled a list of the most popular festivals on their ticket service thus far in 2015 via NME. The results are not too surprising with incredibly popular electronic music festival Tomorrowland leading the way, Coachella slotting in second as the lone United States representative after selling out in a record 39 minutes and the Brazilian edition of Tomorrowland slotting in at third.

  • FKA twigs Tangles Herself Up in 'Pendulum' Music Vid [WATCH]

    British R&B singer FKA twigs has shared the music video for her song "Pendulum," which you can check out below. Directed by the singer herself, the bizarre video shows twigs tangled up in what looks like her own hair and later dancing on top of a giant puddle of water with her own face in it. It os the sort of thing Björk would have done back in the 1990s, which is a compliment. You can check out FKA twigs's music video for "Pendulum" right here, via MTV:

  • Flying Lotus Shares 'Coronus, the Terminator' Music Vid [WATCH]

    Electronic artist Flying Lotus has shared the haunting music video for his song "Coronus, the Terminator," which you can check out below. Directed by Young Replicant, the clip stars Flying Lotus, among other people, as some sort of ghostly figure who witnesses a man's startlingly violent death. It is creepy stuff, but it is also beautiful in the strangest way. "Coronus, the Terminator" is the third music video to be shared from Flying Lotus's latest album "You're Dead!," following the videos for "Ready Err Not" and "Never Catch Me" featuring Kendrick Lamar. It is one of the rare songs in which Flying Lotus sings lead, rather than collaborating with a singer or rapper. "For me, 'Coronus' is one of the most important moments on 'You're Dead!' and holds ideas I'm planning to explore in my future work," Flying Lotus said of the song in a press release. "I'm happy that the visual encapsulates the meaning of the record and this ambition." You can check out Flying Lotus's "Coronus, the Terminator" music video here:

  • Coachella Partners With H&M For Festival-Themed Clothing Line

    Coachella is known for being a place where people go to be seen. And when you want to be seen, you probably want to look trendy as well. With the festival becoming as famous on style blogs as it is on music blogs, it's no surprise that H&M has teamed with Coachella for a new festival-themed clothing line. According to Women's Wear Daily, the Swedish retailer has been sponsoring Coachella for six years and will begin selling their H&M Loves Coachella line at 350 stores in North America starting March 19 with a worldwide launch March 26. The company will also have an H&M pop-up shop on the festival grounds for exclusive merchandise.

  • CollegeHumor Delivers Honest, 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 Twitter Data: Drake and AC/DC Rule Social Media...Ladies Crush on Drizzy, Dudes Crush on Steely Dan?

    Both Coachella and Governors Ball got Twitter riled up when the respective music festivals announced their 2015 lineups this week, with many a rant and many a joyous declaration of thanks to the music gods. CrowdFlower, a data-mining and crowdsourcing company out of San Francisco, gathered the numbers on the more local of the two festivals from those tweeting and sent the results out for Music Times to check out.

  • 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.

  • Belle & Sebastian Share New Song "The Cat With The Cream" From Upcoming Album "Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance" [LISTEN]

    Scottish indie pop legends Belle & Sebastian have shared another track from their upcoming album Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, titled "The Cat with the Cream," which you can check out below. Though the previous songs that have been shared so far from the album have been pretty upbeat and fun, "The Cat with the Cream" is far more dramatic and low-key, with a prominent string section and almost no percussion other than a steady kick drum. The lyrics are also more political than we're used to hearing from frontman Stuart Murdoch, with lines about Tories and the boom/bust nature of capitalist economies.

  • Gesaffelstein Says Coachella Will Be His Last Live Show

    Sad news for Gesaffelstein fans. The French DJ, producer has announced, in conjunction with his worthy inclusion on the Coachella 2015 lineup, that the performance would be the "Last Gesaffelstein Live." He delivered the news in very few words without much in the way of an explanation, as one would expect from Gesaffelstein, whose real is Mike Lévy.
