The Biggest Names in Music Under the California Sun
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival brings nearly 75,000 people to California’s Inland Empire desert to see some of the biggest names in music perform under the sun and stars. Each year the festival takes place for 3 days in April and has drawn mega-artists including Jay-Z, Pearl Jam, Beck, Paul McCartney, Rage Against the Machine, Prince, and Radiohead.
Attendees either camp at a site next to the venue, stay in hotels in neighboring towns, or rent homes in the area. The festival takes place at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, CA approximately 25 miles from Palm Springs. Though thousands choose to camp, staying indoors can provide a welcomed break from the desert heat that can soar above 100°F. Visit the festival website for tips on where to stay and how to get there.
In addition to providing one of the best musical line-ups worldwide, Coachella provides an amazing display of large-scale and interactive art pieces. Coachella has grown from being a small alternative music event in 1993 to be considered one of the U.S.’s premier music festivals.
Get your ticket fast. Even though the 2012 format is expanding to two weekends, tickets have sold out in just days in past years! Hydrate and protect yourself from the sun. Don’t be this guy!►
