Coachella 2011 tickets come and go

Sorry for the late update but along with everyone else who missed out on tickets, I didn't think Coachella would sell out in less than a week.

Coachella, which is a 3-day music festival in Indio, CA, announced its much anticipated lineup on January 18th. Tickets went on sale on the 21st and were sold out by the 26th, which makes this the fastest selling Coachella by far according to Goldenvoice, the production company that throws the event.

The lineup featured a plethora of well-known and respected DJs (along with many hip hop, alternative, and rock acts). But perhaps the two biggest EDM names were Steve Angello and Axwell, whom along with Sebastian Ingrosso make up the hugely popular Swedish House Mafia (SHM), a collective of three of the premier House DJs of our time.

Steve Angello (pictured left) is currently ranked #14 on DJ Mag after rising 49 spots from 2008 to 2010. This huge climb can be attributed mainly to the formation of the Swedish House Mafia in 2009 and the release of their debut album "Until One" in 2010. The album has garnered Steve and the other members of SHM mainstream fame in the US that they never had before thanks to the chart-topping singles "One" (below), a collaboration with Pharrell Williams, and "Miami 2 Ibiza".

Axwell (pictured right) is currently #10 on DJ Mag and could be considered as the most individually successful member of the trio. Prior to SHM's formation Axwell had already been creating remixes for many mainstream artists such as Usher, Clipse, Faith Evans, N*E*R*D, Nelly Furtado, and Madonna. However, SHM's rapid ascent in both the club scene and the mainstream world has been unlike any before it. The trio is so largely popular that they recently released a documentary on Virgin Records entitled "Take One", which chronicles their historic climb to fame in the last two years. Unfortunately, if you missed out on your chance to get Coachella tickets the trio will only be appearing one other time in the US in the upcoming months. They will be hosting and headlining the first ever "The One Night Stand at the Masquerade Motel" on March 26th in Miami, FL. Tickets are currently $75 plus fees.

And on a side note: The full version of Tiesto & Hardwell - Zero 76 is out as well as Club 997's Show #33 so be sure to check those out.
