Festival Guide

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival takes over the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California for two epic weekends every April. Since 1999, it has grown into the world's most iconic music festival, blending massive headliners with emerging artists across multiple stages in the desert sun. The festival spans three days per weekend (Friday to Sunday), with Weekend 1 typically getting the most buzz. Expect daytime temperatures around 90F (32C) — sunscreen, hats, and hydration are non-negotiable. Nights cool down to the 60s, so bring a light layer. Car camping and tent camping are available on-site, or you can stay in nearby Palm Springs, Indio, or La Quinta. Shuttle passes run from major hotels. If you are flying in, Palm Springs International (PSP) is the closest airport, about 30 minutes away. LAX is a 3-hour drive. Pro tip: Do not sleep on the art installations and food vendors — they are half the experience. The Do LaB stage is where you will find the most adventurous electronic sets.
