Here’s the full skinny on the event, with stages, maps, artists and performance 
times.

festival-goers (Press-Enterprise) – Summarized information on how to stay cool and
hydrated, protecting yourself from the sun by wearing hats and sunscreen (there 
is almost no shaded areas at Empire Fields), what you can and cannot bring and food
options (plastic not accepted, so bring cash because ATM lines are usually very 
long).

Crave Online has released a Music Guide to Coachella 2008 with a detailed line-up
of artists not to miss and in-depth review of performers and other events.

And of course, check out the Coachella website for all the latest. You may want 
to watch the AT&T BlueRoom telecast which really needs to step it up this year, 
especially after the huge controversy from Lollapalooza 2007 when Eddie Vedder’s
anti-Bush statements were censored by AT&T, although the company says it was an 
accident. Yeah, and I’m King Tut.

However, perhaps to AT&T’s horror, rumors are flying around that Eddie Vedder may
make a surprise appearance at Coachella this weekend. You can almost bet that if
he does, he will say something to irk AT&T, so don’t be surprised if they pull the
plug on him again, should he make the rumored surprise appearance.
