Coachella 2014 Dates Announced, Advanced Ticket Sale This Week

chla

Less than a month after the 2013 Coachella Music Arts and Festival event, we get news official news today of the announcement for next year’s show. Week one is scheduled for April 11th-13th with the second to follow on April 18-20th. Advanced tickets go on sale May 24th which you can take advantage of their payment plans now starting at $45 a month to avoid paying $400 in January.

This year we witnessed Phoenix and R. Kelly perform a mash up of 1901 with Ignition, James Blake bringing out The RZA for a special performance of “Take A Fall For Me”; and last but not least, the popular Fall Out Boy and 2Chainz collaboration.

The biggest disappointment this year was Pharrell Williams performing his verses from Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” in NYC and not at the event, which rumors have already began to circulate whether they will partake in Coachella 2014. While that remains to be seen, you can visit Coachella.com this Friday at 10am for the ticket sale.

NFL Draft Moving To May Starting 2014

NFL Draft Football
Radio City Music Hall Will Start Seeing The Draft In May, Starting Next Year; League Year Also Being Pushed Up 2015

The wait for the NFL Draft might be a little longer, as the NFL and the NFLPA are finishing a new 3-year deal to move the event to May starting 2014. Radio City Music Hall will now be used for the Spring Spectacular during the final weekend of April starting next year as well, which gave both sides more incentive to make the deal happen sooner.

One of the only positives from this new announcement will be the start of the league year and NFL Free Agency moving ahead of the Indianapolis scouting combine beginning in February 2015. The NFLPA wanted chance for free agents to find jobs easier with the long gap in between the league year and the draft in May. The 2014 Draft will take place May 15-17 with the following years to follow being the first week in May for 2015 and 2016.

Our take. In May, all major Networks (ABC, NBC, CBS etc.) get a boost in ratings due to sweeps week for the Nielsen ratings. This move was strictly done for the NFL marketing initiative to shorten waiting time for the June mini-camps and mandatory rookie camp, building hype for their prime-time Draft special. This is a win-win for both sides with the NFL getting their TV share revenue and the NFLPA looking out for their own veterans.

Click image to watch Splinter Cell Blacklist “Co-Op” trailer

Three years ago when Splinter Cell: Conviction released, which was one of the most enjoyable experiences we had playing online co-op with our friends. The mode and missions were limited due to Ubisoft’s focus on making a playable title for the masses to be reintroduced to the series properly. Splinter Cell: Blacklist has been a title we’ve been looking forward to the most, and with this new co-op trailer, we’re more excited than ever.

Sam Fisher reunites with Isaac Briggs, as the two head into the battlefield through 14 different maps and multiple missions tied to the main storyline. We’ll also see four different mission styles for the co-op missions, which you can and a friend will enjoy endless hours of quality gameplay (Kudos to Ubisoft).

You can check after the jump to watch the new trailer and get a sense of what stealth missions you’ll be doing later this summer when it hits shelves on August 20th.
