Coachella, along with Glastonbury, is perhaps the music festival world’s most FOMO’d-over event. Each year, the festival drops a massive lineup packed with the world’s biggest artists and inspires just as many complaints as it does cries of joy.
The complaints mostly have to do with the fact that Coachella takes place out in the California desert, sadly leaving the rest of the world out of its purview. Everybody wants to go, few are chosen. But is Coachella really all it’s cracked up to be?
To get the real scoop on what it’s like to hit up the world’s most coveted festival ticket, GQ tapped the Gentlemen Lobsters, the only two correspondents adequately qualified to give everyone an honest and accurate representation of a day of “Coach-oing”.
For the uninitiated, Garrett and Quinn are just your average gentlemen lobsters. They Instagram their shoes, feign expertise in high art and culture, watch the World Cup, and play the occasional video game. Most importantly, they always look sharp. They’re bros. And lobsters.
The hilarious vid of Garrett and Quinn discussing the logistics of going shirtless at a music festival and dealing with an unfortunate “human Uber” worker, which you can check out below, reminded us of CollegeHumor‘s wry take on what festivals are actually like from earlier this year.
