INDIO, CALIF.-- Coachella Festival is an annual, mega-music event and festival held each April in Indio.
The rock extravaganza with more than 100 top bands playing simultaneously on multiple stages has seen nearly every great rock performer-- Paul McCartney, Beck, Coldplay, Madonna, Prince and countless other musicians have appeared at the event sometimes referred to as simply the Coachella Festival or Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
The event attracts around 180,000 music fans who camp, drive for the day, or stay for the weekend at hotels in the surrounding area.
The event usually opens in the a.m. - and the music goes all day into the night, normally closing around 1 a.m. on Friday & Saturday, and midnight on Sunday.
Part of the festival traditionally is an art show held on the rambling grounds. With many stages and musicians performing simultaneously, there's a lot to see and do and you aren't confined to one single spot all day. The headliners, however, do attract the largest audiences and that's when you can expect the massive audiences of traditional stadium venue concerts.
Held at Empire Polo Club in Indio. Directions to the general festival parking and camping areas: 10 east, Exit Jefferson or Monroe go south and follow instructions on signs or parking personnel.
Temperatures during the festival are
normally in the mid-to high 80s during
the day and 60s at night. -
