MADELEINE BONNIOT StaffWriter • After months of speculation about which artists would be pres­ ent at this year's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, in Indio, California, the wait has finally come to an end. The much anticipated lineup was released on Wednesday, Jan. 8, and tickets went on sale the following Friday. In under three hours, the festival was sold out. This is just months before the actual fes­ tival takes place for two weekends on April 11-13 and 18-20. A general admission ticket to the festival is almost $400, which begs the question, "is it really worth it?" For a three-day experience of music and the opportunity to see as many as ten musicians or more in a day, the hefty price of attending seems worth it for those who bought tick­ ets. "There are only a few bands on the lineup that I am super stoked to see, and spending that much money on it seems a little bit too much," said Tony Son, a senior at USF and a pass holder for this year's festival. "'I'm hoping it is all worth-while." Having gone to the festival a few times myself, I think the atmo­ sphere of sharing a musical expe­ rience is what makes it so special.
