Let’s go!

Indie pop/dance vocalist, producer and DJ Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (Orlando Higginbottom) is currently on his ‘A Dream I Have Tour' across the United States, including a pit stop at Coachella. He’s gearing up to release his second album, When the Lights Go, this July, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut. On his tour diary, the artist shares an insight into his Coachella set on film and life on the road.

Listen to the new single ‘Crosswalk’ and pre-order the new album When the Lights Go here and check out the tour diary below.

Arriving at Palm Springs toy airport about 3 hours before stage time. Coming in relatively sleepless from Dallas, Denver, and Phoenix.

Outfit check (heated discussion) with Nicholas in my hotel room.

Triple checking my USBs are all loaded and backed up. And not feeling comfortable in that shirt.

I went for this shirt I found in Lisbon, makes me look like I’m on my way to my baptism. Turned out to be prophetic.

In the buggy. Discussing how things used to be.

Staircase to the stage.

Mid set moving the decks closer to the people : )

There he is. We all know him.

Jesus baptising us all.

SG Lewis telling me how good I am at DJing.

Hugging my agent Ben.

Happy with that, and pleased to see so many friends.

Saying hi to my friend Regina who I haven’t seen for 8 months, while SG Lewis looks handsome.

Spent the next hour hugging people. (Jesse)

At this point I’m not going to argue.

Into the night, the moon took a lot of the credit that weekend.

Found my family, they were making burgers.

That’s me submerged for as much of Monday as possible.

Move along now.

A real fear of mine is the wind changing direction while I’m slouching with my luggage sending an email.
