What'd you miss this weekend? It was a long one for us: We headed out to Indio (again!) for
the Big 4 Festival with
Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and
Slayer; then we checked out the
Railroad Revival Tour, which stopped in San Pedro with
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and
Mumford & Sons.
Oh, and also? We watched as a bunch of
dogs held their own
Easter egg hunt and some dude named
Robert Plant threw a show at the Greek in LA.

For three weekends in a row, the Empire Polo Club in Indio will see nothing but huge festivals: Coachella, Stagecoach and, tucked in between 'em,
The Big 4. On April 23,
Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and
Anthrax converged for one ultra-festival.
