The Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival – Coachella for short – is an annual music and arts festival which brings together some of the biggest artists in the industry and thousands of celebrities, influencers, fans, and music lovers from around the world.
It is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert every year and features acts that span several genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic.
The first Coachella was held in October 1999 as it featured headliners Beck, Tool, and Rage Against The Machine and has since grown into a 150K capacity festival which routinely sells out.
This year’s edition brings even more intrigue as there is more of an international flare from the top to the bottom of the lineup.
