while the actual band lineup is better than Coachella, having been to both, the venue is WAY WAY WAY better in California than the Gorge.
its actually no comparison.

Never been to either. But apparently some people disagree with you.
The Gorge Amphitheatre located in George Washington for the ninth time in the past ten years has been voted the best major outdoor concert venue in North America by the readers of pollstar magazine. The Gorge Amphitheatre is an outdoor amphitheater near the Columbia River in Central Washington.

For future note: it's always on Memorial Day weekend. My Seattle dwelling brother will be here in DC as well. Not that he's have any interest in going to this.
