COACHELLA ORGANIZERS OFFER $10,000 REWARD AND 4 FESTIVAL TICKETS FOR LIFE
IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF THE INFLATABLE PIG THAT ESCAPED DURING ROGER WATERS' SET
COACHELLA organizers are offering $10,000 and four festival tickets for life in exchange for the safe return of the two-story inflatable pig that broke loose during Roger Waters' set on the final night (Sunday, April 27) of the 2008 COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL. The pig escaped and floated into the desert sky just prior to the intermission between Roger Waters' back-to-back sets - marking the only back-to-back COACHELLA sets by one artist in the critically acclaimed festival's history.

Anyone with information on the lost pig, should email lostpig@coachella.com.



Found Pig

Following up on our story from yesterday (see below), Roger Waters' helium filled pig was found after floating off from his Coachella performance. Two different couples found pieces of the pig in their La Quinta, CA yards, a few miles away from the Coachella Festival grounds.

The Coachella organizers had offered a reward of $10,000 and four tickets for life to the festival, the two families will split the booty. The pig featured the words "Don't be led to the slaughter" and a cartoon depiction of Uncle Sam clutching two bloody cleavers. The other side read "Fear builds walls" and the belly of the beast read "Obama" with a checked ballot box for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
