For the uninitiated, Fauxchella is that beautiful time of year when many of the acts playing the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival also route in shows in the Bay Area. What does this mean to you? Well, it means that folks in the Bay Area often get longer sets, actual soundchecks, bathrooms with sinks, and the ability to sleep IN A BED after the show. This also means you can argue about whether or not it’s subversive or a sell out move for Rage Against The Machine to reunite to play a massive festival before heading out on the road to play protest shows in border cities. And, Coachella only lasts three days, and then repeats itself. Fauxchella is ALL APRIL LONG! I will keep updating as shows get announced.
I’m going to do my best to find every Bay Area show a Coachella act is playing. However, feel free to email dakin@spinningplatters.com if I’ve missed any! Bookmark this page, because we will be adding shows as they get announced. Confirmed Coachella performers are in italics.
