Coachella Will Remain in Indio, CA: Where Is the Best Place for a Music Festival?

in a city. Not california that soooooooo old school.

Old school is the only good.

Anyplace far from low income, or gang areas. How about the North Pole.?

maybe cooler

Woodstock, NY

good history, good music

Where I live.

Anywhere I can get to easily! :)

TOO HOT AND DUSTY IN COACHELLA!

Far away from the idiots that have to tax everything.

Donnington Park:3
Anyone that lives in the UK that likes rock will understand me

remember seeing the AC/dc concerts on youtube from Donnington....it looks amazing!!

It really does:D but I can't go yet:(

I'm hosting a HUGE music Festival in Manila Philppines in November 1 - 4th this year...we'll have 10 bands from around the world competing for the Rock The World title....also 25 karaoke artist from around the world competing to win.......the city is great because I can market it better in the city....but it's actually going to be outside in an arena where it will hold 20,000 people....It's going to be a blast..!!!

That's true anywhere. We've had some serious thunderstorms once in a while at the New Orleans Jazz Fest.

Yea but for instance I live next to a square in the town centre. They have a festival there every summer. This year there was heavy rain and wind so it was freezing too. I just went back home, opened the window, and enjoyed the music from my dry home

Sounds cool being so close! I live 15 miles from the NO Fairgrounds where the Jazz Fest is held.

In a large park.

what happened to a city non the coast??" EAST COAST ??

Not here:

I've been to 100's of concerts, and there is no way I could ever endorse putting one on in a city, or extremely close to the coast. That being said, 90% of the concerts I've been to were in San Francisco, Berkeley, and San Jose. BUT, that was back in the late 60's through early 90's. The only shows I'll go to now, are at small venues indoors, and I know people in the bands. I sit backstage or in the preferred seating area so I don't have to be with the crowd. You couldn't PAY me enough to go to an outdoor no seating concert now! No way Jose.

Kids get WAY too drunk and/or messed up on the bad drugs out there now - the ONLY way big concerts should be put on, is somewhere AWAY from town, where there is only one way in and out, with checkpoints and tents set up to make sure nobody gets out driving under the influence. (Woodstock is a good example of why) Gee, if it's hot out, set up circus style tents, or put on the show when it's NOT hot outside.

Whatever works, but DON'T put one on where you're going to be setting loose 20,000 drunk/stoned kids on the road with everyone who isn't drunk and/or stoned. DUH?! That's just stupid and totally irresponsible.

Asheville NC

Biltmore would turn in his grave if his yard was messed up. :)

On the West Coast. If isn't broke, don't fix it.

It is the best in my oponion.

On a private island. Or a park.

the south

too hot this time of year

yeah lol, its pretty hot. we have crawfish boil. 2 days of standing around in the boiling hot fairgrounds drinking beer and eating mudbugs listening to bands. everybody beat red with their heads ringing wet. i quit going when they started hiring rap groups though.

Meadowbrook theatre Michigan.....it has a very nice pavilion and lawn area.

Is that the place that is in This Is Spinal Tap? Looks so much like it?

Very pretty but hardly a festival. The New Orleans Jazz Fest has 50,000+ people on a very slow day and often tops 100,000 some days.

I think more shows should come to Portland, Maine. There isn't much going on outside of the city, but in the city itself, it's got more diners per capita than any city in America.

medison garden

A beach

West coast, that is

The best festival locations I've been to had fields for performances and fields and woods for camping. We always camped in the woods. Nice to have shade available to escape the heat.

In a field in the middle of nowhere. Preferably a multiple day festival.
