“@coachella what the f***… you have me stressed not giving us the set time,” one user wrote.

“@coachella got time to mint NFTs but not to figure out their damn set times,” another added.

Others made light of the situation: “Happy @coachella set time anxiety day to all who observe.”

Another joked: “Coachella not releasing set times yet is really like a ticking time bomb.”

Someone wrote that it was “officially past the latest @coachella set time release since 2015, UNCHARTED WATERS BABY”.

The DJs from Emo Nite, who will be performimg at both weekends, even tweeted: “just wish we knew our set time @coachella.”
