But they broke up in 1999, you say? Exactly.

$100 ticket plus plane fare plus a day away from work and beloved family for what I'd guess will be a 45-minute set? This isn't extravagant, relatively speaking. Others fans are trekking from England, Sweden, Chile, and Australia (Niina describes it well) to see two Scottish brothers get up on the same stage for the first time in eight years and make it rain aural candy.

Apparently one or two other "bands" may be playing Coachella as well, but that's unclear to me.
