The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival – Coachella for short – is an annual music and arts festival that brings together some of the biggest artists in the industry with thousands of celebrities, influencers, fans and music lovers from around the world.
Held each year at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Colorado Desert’s Coachella Valley, it features acts spanning a variety of genres, including rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronica.
The first Coachella was held in October 1999 with headliners Beck, Tool and Rage Against The Machine and has since grown into a 150,000 capacity festival that regularly sells out.
This year’s edition brings even more intrigue as there’s more international flair from the top to the bottom of the lineup.
