INDIO, California — Thousands of fans flocked to the Southern California desert town of Indio this year for the Coachella Valley Music Festival, now in its second of two weekends. Headlining acts for the 2024 edition of the annual bash included Lana Del Rey; Tyler, the Creator; and Doja Cat.
Famous faces spotted in the crowd at the Empire Polo Club included Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and Justin Bieber, along with Ice Spice and Sabrina Carpenter, who also performed.
Reneé Rapp, whose popularity skyrocketed with the release of the remake of the movie ‘Mean Girls’ and her debut album ‘Snow Angel’, joined Kesha on stage to perform Kesha’s hit ‘TiK ToK’. They sang alternative lyrics that were critical of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been accused of sexual assault and rape by several people.
Fans from across the country and beyond dressed up in festive outfits and held up signs to show support for their favorite artists. General admission ticket prices were between $500 and $600 for a weekend, and many concertgoers set up tents to sleep at night.
Last weekend, a small earthquake struck about 20 miles southeast of Coachella, although there were no known injuries.
