Ünlü Coachella Festivali kapsamında, Muse ve Pet Shop Boys ile aynı anda fakat farklı çadırda sahne almış, Billboard dergisinin "içinden Çıkılamayan Çatışmalar: Hangisini Seyretmeli" yazısında "Pet Shop Boys daha önceliklidir, PSB klasiklerinin ötesine geçmek pek mümkün değildir" değerlendirmesine maruz kalmış isim. Tamam Skrillex çok iyi ama bi de elektronik müzik dünyasına 40 yıldır liderlik eden bir über-grup var ortada.*

1. Muse (Saturday, 11:30, Coachella Stage) vs. Skrillex (Saturday, 11:25, Sahara Tent) vs. Pet Shop Boys (Saturday, 11:35, Mojave Tent)
The Conflict: An absolutely brutal pile-up of talent. How does one responsibly choose between one of Muse's only U.S. festival dates of 2014, Skrillex's sure-to-be-dominant Sahara Tent set, or Pet Shop Boys' long-overdue Coachella debut? With all three sets beginning within 10 minutes of each other, the schedule designers have made Saturday night a time for painful decisions.
The Right Choice: There's no wrong choice here, but Pet Shop Boys will probably offer the most satisfying performance, thanks to their hard-to-top catalogue of synth-pop. Skrillex might have gotten the call on one of the two main stages, but the smaller Sahara Tent means a lack of breathing room during the bass drops. And Muse always puts on a spectacular show but headlined the same night just four years ago. If you have no allegiance to any of the three, go with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, and dance your scheduling troubles away.
