Would You Board the S.S. Coachella?

You!

Earlier this month we asked you what the best setting is for a music festival, and "Near the Coast" won with 41% of the vote. Concert goers seem to prefer ocean views and a cool breeze to the sweltering heat of the desert.

Promoter giant Goldenvoice must have seen our poll and taken note, because today they surprised the public with the announcement that Coachella will be sailing the high seas and bringing a cruise full of hipster deck hands with them. The S.S. Coachella will be setting sail twice in December and going to both Jamaica and the Bahamas (two separate trips). Check out the lineup and let us know if you like the idea of attending a music festival on a cruise.

    ...but not with that lineup. I'm sure El-P doesn't stand for Emerson Lake and Palmer.

    Sure! I've been on a cruiseline before, and I wouldn't mine doing it again.

    Good idea, but I didn't know enough names on the list for it to be worth going.

    I love being on the ocean, but not if it means being trapped on a ship for a music festival. Especially when I don't recognize a single name on the list and so can assess it isn't my taste in music.

    Paying to have a chunk of irreplaceable time carved out of my life in order to be confined aboard a ship where I'll have other people's taste in music - not only "other people" but a mob of friggin' MUNDANES - imposed upon me 24/7 is something I'd have to receive as a punitive sentence from a court of law empowered to have me shot to death while attempting escape.

    Thanks, but for recreation of a similar quality, I think I'd rather schedule myself for exploratory abdominal surgery.

    I would board any ship with Pulp on. One of the best British band of the past 30 years. Plus Sleigh Bells, Warpaint, Grimes, Cloud Nothings and others. Would be lovely.

    Party gear in high seas = not a nice experience.

    If bands I enjoyed were on board. This sounds like a great idea. The best
    part about something like this is it would most likely weed out the kids
    and trouble makers. A Jazz fest or Blues festival on the ocean would
    be epic. No worries on accommodations, food, drinks, or activities.
    It's a win win for everyone. One stop shopping.

    Cruises are so wasteful...

    I like Burning Man for that very reason - everybody brings their own stuff and takes it all with them when they leave.

    Land...In Finland preferably. The best music festivals are here. Going on a cruise would be awesome but I have this fear that I'll be walking the catwalk and some stranger would just throw me over the side. lol. So yeah, no cruises for me.
