Before we get into the details about this week’s first bash, let’s quickly list all the important details about Coachella. You know, just in case you haven’t had the chance to hear about this festival before.
Coachella, or officially, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is an annual festival for music and arts taking place in the Colorado Desert. The exact location is the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, Coachella Valley.
The festival became a thing in 1999, when Paul Tollett and Rick van Santen joined forces and founded the event. The first festival is organized by Goldenvoice.
Regarding the choice of music and arts offered at the festival, there’s huge variety. For the most part, the festival is all about rock, pop, hip hop, and electronic music, with indie and rap performances adding much needed variety as well.
What started as a one-day event evolved over the years into two 3-day weekend events taking place in April. What’s curious is that the lineup is exactly the same on both weekends.
