After months of negotiations, Pure Filth is confirmed to be playing in “The Dome” at the Coachella Music Festival on April 18th, Saturday.

“The Dome” at Coachella this year will be different than past year’s, it’s usually located in the center field, and it has a selection of underground Dj’s and Special Guest playing during the day along with all other stages, but this year The Dome will be located by the campgrounds entrance, and it’ll be rocking all night long till 4am. It will be the first year that Coachella will have music playing after 12:30am, and they’ll have some really special guests there. According to this poster by PureFilth it’ll be featuring Flying Lotus, Bomb Squad, Kode 9, Daedelus, Daddy Kev & Nobody, The Professionals, 6 Blocc, Gaslamp Killer & DLX, Ras G & Samiyam and MC Kemst & Nocando on Saturday.

Are you ready for a face melter?? The poster also says “Bass for your Face California!”, OMG, at 3:00am after a whole day at Coachella, I bet you there will be people looking like zombies there.

According to the promoters, the Coachella Grounds will be closed and cleared out in the usual schedule (12 – 12:30am), and then The Dome restarts at 1am, only for those with Camping Permits and it goes on till they stop…. (likely 4am…ish). All artists performing late at the dome will also perform during the day at the Coachella grounds, so if you don’t plan to camp, you can still enjoy some Bass in the Face during the day, hehe. PureFilth promoter has also said that they will have 32 Dual 18″ Bassbins Speakers available for the artists, it’ll be loud.

I went ahead and grabbed some cool videos from the artists performing at the Dome, enjoy and I see you at Coachella (only 18 days away). By the way, single day tickets for Friday and Saturday are already sold out, if you can only attend to one day I suggest you go right now to Ebay or Craigslist and buy your ticket, to avoid getting ripped off by those MTF ticket scalpers.
