The essential
Officially named "The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival" ( also called "Coachella" or even just "Chella"), the festival has quite an interesting history. It all started when the band Pearl Jam argued with TicketMaster over its service fees, claiming it was financially targeting both fans and artists. That's why Pearl Jam began looking for other locations for their tour that didn't include Ticketmaster.
The group ended up using the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, CA, where the festival still takes place today. In 2012, the festival grew so big that the organizers transformed it into two separate weekends.🤪
Why is she so tall?
Coachella has become one of the most popular festivals in the world, with approximately 579,000 attendees in 2014.🤩
While everyone lucky enough to attend has their own reasons for loving the festival, its location is probably a big part of why so many people flock to the middle of nowhere to listen to the music.🌄
The fact that it takes place in the desert must certainly give it an advantage over the other festivals on offer, especially the rainy and muddy weekends that we are used to in France.
But as the festival has grown and social media has allowed us to follow our favorite celebrities' every move,Coachella has become a huge celebrity hot spot.
What's happening here?
Although Coachella's roots are all about music, it has become much more expansive than in recent years. It features art installations and has also become a major fashion hotspot forbohemian-inspired styles.☮️ Fancy dress is common here! Don't hesitate to get one to completely match the atmosphere! 😘
As said before,it's also full of celebrities,from performing artists to stars who just want to hang out. Stars like Kendall Jenner, Jared Leto, Leonardo DiCaprio, and many others are spotted there almost every year.☯️
The music festival takes place on five main stages : the Coachella Stage, the Outdoor Theater, the Gobi Tent, the Mojave Tent and the Sahara Tent. The big songs are played in the evening as the last acts, while the smaller artists and groups play throughout the day.
When is Coachella?
Coachella takes place every other weekend in April, although the dates are not always the same. The festival usually takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.In 2019, it will start on Friday April 12.
How much does participation cost?
It's a bit ironic that Coachella started with a squabble over ticket prices, given how expensive it is to attend the festival today. In 2019tickets start at $429 for a three-day pass. Sure, that includes three full days of music, but it's still steep.😬
Once there, you need somewhere to stay, as the festival is located in the desert. Passes for le camping automobile coûtent un peu plus de 100 $, which is your best option.
This year, Coachella will probably be pretty epic. Childish Gambino, DJ Snake and Ariana Grande will headline the bill, and there are a ton of other incredible artists to seer.🥰
If you have the chance to go there you will find yourself rocking Between Blues, Reggae and current music. More than a festival, the unique and magical meeting place for bohemian and boho chic fashionan idyll for any bohemian!
