Coachella
(officially called the
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
and sometimes known as
Coachella Festival
) is an annual
music
and
arts festival
held at the
Empire Polo Club
in
Indio, California
, in the
Coachella Valley
in the
Colorado Desert
. It was co-founded by
Paul Tollett
and Rick Van Santen in 1999, and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of
AEG Presents
.
[

]
The event features musical artists from many
genres of music
, including
rock
,
pop
,
indie
,
hip hop
and
electronic dance music
, as well as
art installations
and
sculptures
. Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music.
The festival's origins trace back to a 1993 concert that
Pearl Jam
performed at the Empire Polo Club while boycotting venues controlled by
Ticketmaster
. The show validated the site's viability for hosting large events, leading to the inaugural Coachella Festival being held over the course of two days in October 1999, three months after
Woodstock '99
. After no event was held in 2000, Coachella returned on an annual basis beginning in April 2001 as a single-day event. In 2002, the festival reverted to a two-day format. Coachella was expanded to a third day in 2007 and eventually a second weekend in 2012; it is now held on consecutive three-day weekends in April, with the same lineup each weekend. Organizers began permitting spectators to camp on the grounds in 2003, one of several expansions and additions in the festival's history. The festival was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
.

Coachella showcases popular and established musical artists as well as emerging artists and reunited groups. It is one of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the United States and the world.
[

[

]
Each Coachella staged from 2013 to 2015 set new records for festival attendance and gross revenues. The 2017 festival was attended by 250,000 people and grossed $114.6 million. Coachella's success led to Goldenvoice establishing additional music festivals at the site, beginning with the annual
Stagecoach
country music
festival in 2007.
Even before we looked at [Empire Polo Club], it hit us. We wanted it to be far. So you surrender. So you can't leave your house and see a couple bands and be back home that night. We want you to go out there, get tired, and curse the show by Sunday afternoon. That sunset, and that whole feeling of Coachella hits you.
—Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett, describing the rationale behind the festival's location
[
6
]
On November 5, 1993, during their
Vs. Tour
, American rock band
Pearl Jam
performed for almost 25,000 fans at the
Empire Polo Club
in
Indio, California
.
[
7
]
The site was selected because the band refused to play in Los Angeles as a result of a dispute with
Ticketmaster
over service charges applied to ticket purchases.
[
8
]
[
9
]
The show established the polo club's suitability for large-scale events;
Paul Tollett
, whose concert promotion company Goldenvoice booked the venue for Pearl Jam, said the concert sowed the seeds for an eventual
music festival
there.
[
6
]
Around 1997, Goldenvoice was struggling to book concerts against larger companies, and they were unable to offer guarantees as high as their competitors, such as
SFX Entertainment
. Tollett said, "We were getting our ass kicked financially. We were losing a lot of bands. And we couldn't compete with the money."
[
10
]
As a result, the idea of a music festival was conceived, and Tollett began to brainstorm ideas for one with multiple venues. His intent was to book trendy artists who were not necessarily chart successes: "Maybe if you put a bunch of them together, that might be a magnet for a lot of people."
[
8
]
While attending the 1997
Glastonbury Festival
, Tollett handed out pamphlets to artists and talent managers that featured pictures of the Empire Polo Club and pitched a possible festival there. In contrast to the frequently muddy conditions at Glastonbury caused by rain, he recalled, "We had this pamphlet... showing sunny Coachella. Everyone was laughing."
[
9
]
After scouting several sites for their festival,
[
6
]
Tollett and Goldenvoice co-president Rick Van Santen returned to the Empire Polo Club during the Big Gig festival in 1998. Impressed by the location's suitability for a festival, they decided to book their event there.
[
8
]
The promoters had hoped to stage their inaugural festival in 1998 but were unable to until the following year.
[
9
]
On July 16, 1999, Goldenvoice announced that the Indio City Council had approved the festival and would provide $90,000 for services such as traffic control and public safety. The funds came with a guarantee of repayment from the promoter, as the city was keen to avoid incurring another loss; the previous year's Big Gig festival cost Indio $16,000 due to last-minute changes to the lineup and poor attendance.
[
11
]
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was officially announced on July 28 with a preliminary lineup of 40 acts;
[
12
]
tickets went on sale on August 7.
[
13
]
Coachella's announcement came just one week after the conclusion of
Woodstock '99
, a festival in July 1999 that was marred by looting, arson, violence, and rapes. Goldenvoice's insurance costs increased 40% as a result and the company faced uncertainty regarding Coachella's tickets.
[
9
]
[
14
]
Organizers were already aiming to provide a "high-comfort festival experience" for Coachella but rededicated themselves to those efforts after Woodstock '99. Advertisements boasted free water fountains, ample restrooms, and misting tents.
[
14
]
Retrospectively, Tollett called the decision to announce a new festival just two months prior to staging it "financial suicide".
[
9
]
On October 9–10, 1999, the inaugural Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was held. Headlining the event were
Beck
,
Tool
, and
Rage Against the Machine
; other acts included
the Chemical Brothers
,
Morrissey
,
A Perfect Circle
,
Jurassic 5
and
Underworld
. Originally, promoters had hoped to make the event three days (Friday to Sunday) and even considered the UK group
Massive Attack
as the third-day headliner.
[
15
]
The organizers strove to recreate European music festivals with small crowds in a great setting with plenty of turntables.
[
16
]
By booking acts based on artistry rather than radio popularity, Coachella earned the title of "the anti-Woodstock".
[
17
]
Tickets sold for $50 for each day; about 17,000 tickets sold for the first day, and 20,000 for the second,
[
16
]
falling short of the overall attendance goal of 70,000.
[
18
]
Attendees were offered free parking and a free bottle of water upon entrance.
[
16
]
The event went smoothly, with the well-behaved crowd starkly contrasting with the violence that plagued Woodstock '99; the biggest challenges to Coachella concertgoers were temperatures exceeding 100 °F and the decisions of which of the 80-plus acts to attend.
[
17
]
[
18
]
[
19
]
The festival was well regarded among attendees and critics;
Pollstar
named it festival of the year, and
Robert Hilburn
of the
Los Angeles Times
said that it "laid the foundation for what someday may be a legacy of its own".
[
20
]
[
21
]
However, Goldenvoice lost $850,000 on the undertaking,
[
22
]
forcing the promoter, in Tollett's words, to "struggle for almost two years to survive as a company".
[
23
]
Prominent acts, including the headliners, agreed to receive
deferred compensation
.
[
24
]
Goldenvoice reserved tentative dates for October 2000 to reprise the festival,
[
25
]
but ultimately canceled for that year; Tollett blamed it on the oversaturation of music festivals in Southern California.
[
20
]
Instead, Goldenvoice partnered with promoter
Pasquale Rotella
to stage the
electronic dance music
festival
Nocturnal Wonderland
at the Empire Polo Club in September 2000.
[
26
]
[
27
]
Goldenvoice opted to bring Coachella back in April 2001 in an attempt to beat the heat.
[
20
]
[
28
]
Ticket prices were raised to $65.
[
29
]
Organizers encountered difficulty booking acts for the festival and due to "available talent", were forced to shorten the festival to a single day.
[
30
]
Issues with securing a headliner threatened to doom the event until
Perry Farrell
agreed to bring his reunited group
Jane's Addiction
to the proceedings.
[
31
]
Amidst financial concerns, Tollett agreed to sell Goldenvoice to
Anschutz Entertainment Group
(AEG) in March 2001 for $7 million.
[
32
]
AEG, which had opened
Staples Center
in Los Angeles two years prior, purchased the promoter to help them find shows to book. The corporation wanted Tollett to continue staging Coachella, understanding that it initially would lose money;
[
9
]
Tollett initially retained full control of Coachella as a result of the acquisition.
[
31
]
[
33
]
Like its predecessor, the 2001 festival went smoothly;
[
23
]
32,000 people attended,
[
26
]
and despite taking a loss again, Tollett estimates it was a "low, low six-figure sum".
[
23
]
For its third outing, Coachella reverted to a two-day format and took place from April 27–28, 2002. Tollett said that the event was expanded to a second day after more acts began expressing interest in participating.
[
34
]
With around 60 artists performing,
[
35
]
the festival featured headliners
Björk
and
Oasis
, along with a reunion of
Siouxsie and the Banshees
.
[
36
]
Palm Desert natives
Queens of the Stone Age
became the first local band to play the festival.
[
22
]
Multiple changes were made for that year: one less tent was used,
[
37
]
reducing the number of stages from five to four,
[
34
]
and a fence in the middle of the polo field was removed to increase the openness of the site.
[
37
]
The strong supporting acts helped prove to the Indio community that the event could bring in money and take place without conflict. More than 55,000 people attended over the two days,
[
22
]
and for the first time, the festival nearly broke even.
[
23
]
The 2003 festival took place from April 26–27.
[
10
]
Among the 82 acts booked by Goldenvoice were headliners
Red Hot Chili Peppers
and
Beastie Boys
, as well as a reunited
Iggy Pop
and
the Stooges
. Performances were held on two outdoor stages and in three tents.
[
38
]
Ticket prices remained $75 per day, but were increased to $140 for a two-day pass.
[
10
]
For the first time, on-site camping was offered;
[
39
]
the Indio City Council approved overnight camping at the site, permitting up to four people on each of the 2,252 camping spots.
[
40
]
The festival drew 60,000 people, the largest Coachella crowd to that point.
[
41
]
The festival began to develop worldwide interest and receive national renown.
Goldenvoice's Paul Tollett credits
Radiohead
's appearance at the 2004 festival
(pictured)
with elevating the festival's stature.
In late December 2003, Van Santen died at the age of 41 from flu-related complications.
[
2
]
With Tollett left, he sold half of Coachella to AEG in 2004, along with the controlling interest in the festival.
[
9
]
The 2004 event featured a lineup of more than 80 acts,
[
42
]
with
Radiohead
and
the Cure
as headliners, along with a reunion of the
Pixies
. It was Coachella's first sellout, drawing a two-day total of 110,000 people. For the first time, the festival attracted attendees from all 50 US states.
[
22
]
The event was critically acclaimed; Hilburn called it "the premier pop music festival in the country", while
Rolling Stone
labeled it "America's Best Music Festival". Tollett said that 2004 was the turning point for Coachella, and he credited booking Radiohead with elevating the festival's stature and interest among musicians. However, he also described that year's event as a missed opportunity, as he passed on a chance to expand it to a third day that could have featured
David Bowie
as a headliner.
[
42
]
The 2005 event ran from April 30 to May 1 and featured
Coldplay
and Nine Inch Nails as headliners, along with a reunion of
Bauhaus
. A planned reunion of
Cocteau Twins
was ultimately cancelled by the group.
[
43
]
Approximately 50,000 people attended each day of the festival.
[
44
]
Daft Punk
's performance at Coachella 2006 is frequently cited as one of the most memorable in the festival's history.
The 2006 event featured headliners
Depeche Mode
and
Tool
. Two of the most popular performances were
Madonna
, who played in an overflowing dance tent, and
Daft Punk
, whose show featuring a pyramid-shaped stage is cited as one of the most memorable performances in Coachella history.
[
22
]
Around 120,000 concertgoers attended the event over two days,
[
22
]
garnering Goldenvoice a gross of $9 million.
[
45
]
Björk
, the festival's first female headliner, performing at Coachella on April 27, 2007
In 2007, Goldenvoice inaugurated the
Stagecoach Festival
, an annual
country music
festival that also takes place at the Empire Polo Club the weekend following Coachella. The new event helped avert complications with organizing Coachella; the polo club's owner Alex Haagen III had been planning to redevelop the land unless a new profitable event could be created to make a long-term lease with Goldenvoice financially feasible.
[
8
]
Along with the new festival's addition, Coachella was permanently extended to three days in 2007. The headlining acts were Red Hot Chili Peppers, the reunited Rage Against the Machine, and Björk, all of whom headlined for the second time. The festival compiled a three-day aggregate attendance of over 186,000, a new best, and grossed $16.3 million.
[
46
]
In 2008, Coachella did not sell out for the first time since 2003. It featured headliners
Prince
,
Roger Waters
, and
Jack Johnson
. Waters'

flew away during his set.
[
22
]
The 2008 festival drew an attendance of 151,666 and grossed $13.8 million,
[
46
]
but lost money, due to tickets not selling out and high booking fees paid for Prince and Roger Waters.
[
8
]
[
24
]
The 2009 festival occurred a week earlier than usual. The new dates were April 17, 18 and 19. The event featured headliners
Paul McCartney
,
The Killers
, and
The Cure
. On Friday, McCartney blew past the festival's strict curfew by 54 minutes.
[
22
]
Sunday, The Cure had their performance end abruptly, with the festival cutting stage power after passing their own curfew by 30 minutes.
[
47
]
Notable performances included
Franz Ferdinand
, M.I.A. (whose 2005 encore set in a tent was a first at the fest),
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
, and rare appearances from artists
Leonard Cohen
,
Dr. Dog
and
Throbbing Gristle
. The festival drew an aggregate attendance of 152,962 and grossed $15,328,863.
[
48
]
Organizers eliminated single-day ticket sales for 2010, and instead instituted a new policy offering three-day tickets only,
[
49
]
which drew mixed reactions.
[
50
]
Headliners included
Jay-Z
,
Muse
and
Gorillaz
, and reunions of
Faith No More
and
Pavement
.
[
51
]
Despite Tollett's reservations about holding a festival in 2010 due to the economy,
[
52
]
Coachella drew 75,000 spectators each day that year, for an estimated aggregate attendance of 225,000, surpassing previous records.
[
53
]
Thousands of fans broke through fences, leading to concerns about overcrowding.
[
22
]
The festival grossed $21,703,500.
[
54
]
International travel was
disrupted
by the
eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano
in
Iceland
, resulting in some European acts, such as
Frightened Rabbit
,
Gary Numan
and
Delphic
, canceling their appearances at the festival.
[
55
]
Prior to the 2011 festival, Goldenvoice made several investments and improvements locally to help support Coachella. In addition to funding an additional lane for Avenue 50, which borders the festival, the promoter cleared additional space on the polo grounds by leveling a 250,000-square-foot area and moving horse stables.
[
56
]
Lighting and security were also enhanced to help the festival run more smoothly.
[
22
]
The headliners for that year's event were
Kings of Leon
,
Arcade Fire
,
Kanye West
, and
The Strokes
, along with another 190 supporting acts.
[
57
]
The 2011 festival grossed $24,993,698
[
58
]
from 75,000 paid attendees, for an aggregate attendance of 225,000 across the entire three-day weekend.
[
59
]
On May 31, 2011, Goldenvoice announced that beginning with the 2012 festival, Coachella would be expanded to a second, separately-ticketed weekend, with identical lineups for each.
[
60
]
Explaining the decision, Tollett said that demand for tickets was up in 2011 even after "operations weren't the best [they've] ever had" in 2010 and that he did not want to satisfy that demand by allowing additional attendees to overcrowd the venue.
[
61
]
Rolling Stone
called it a "very risky move" and said there was "no guarantee that demand [would be] high enough to sell out the same bill over two consecutive weekends".
[
60
]
Nonetheless, 2012 tickets sold out in less than three hours.
[
62
]
The 2012 festival during sunset
The 2012 festival featured headliners
the Black Keys
, Radiohead, and a twin billing of
Dr. Dre
and
Snoop Dogg
.
[
22
]
During the latter's performances, a projection of deceased rapper
Tupac Shakur
appeared on-stage
[
63
]
[
64
]
(a voice actor performed his introduction lines) and began performing "
Hail Mary
" and "
2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted
".
[
65
]
Although the media referred to the technology as a "
hologram
", the projection was in fact created using the
Musion Eyeliner
system, which employs a version of
Pepper's ghost
.
[
66
]
[
67
]
Following the performance, the projection disappeared. Dr. Dre had asked permission from Shakur's mother Afeni, who said the next day that she was thrilled with the performance.
[
68
]
A projection of deceased singer
Nate Dogg
was also planned, but Dr. Dre decided against it. The 2012 festival grossed $47,313,403 from 158,387 paid attendees across the two weekends; 80,726 tickets were sold for the first weekend, and 77,661 for the second.

Coachella grounds in 2013
Prior to the 2013 festival, it was announced that Goldenvoice had reached a deal with the city of Indio to keep the Coachella and Stagecoach Festivals there through 2030. As part of the agreement, Indio's per-ticket share of revenue would increase from $2.33 per ticket to $5.01.
[

Headlining the 2013 festival were
Blur
,
The Stone Roses
,
Phoenix
, and
Red Hot Chili Peppers

General admission tickets sold for $349, a $34 increase from the previous year.
[
72
]
The festival grossed $67.2 million in ticket sales and was attended by 180,000 people, making it the top music festival in the world.
[
73
]
In July 2013, Goldenvoice finalized a $30 million purchase of 280 acres of land surrounding the Empire Polo Club, including the 200-acre Eldorado Polo Club. The land, previously leased from Eldorado, will be used to provide more space for parking and general use for the festival.
[
74
]
Tollett said the purchase was intended to "help [Goldenvoice] put in some infrastructure so [they] don't have to keep coming back and do the same things each year".
[
75
]
The 2014 festival, held on April 11–13 and April 18–20, featured 184 artists.
[

The festival won Pollstar's award for Major Music Festival of the Year,
[
81

marking the 10th time in 11 years that Coachella had won the award.
[
82
]
In March 2016, the Indio City Council passed a measure to raise the attendance cap for Coachella from 99,000 to 125,000, stipulating that the capacity would gradually be increased, giving the city time to accommodate the crowds. Goldenvoice increased the venue size by about 50 acres along Monroe Street, Avenue 50, Avenue 52, and Polo Road.
[
83
]
The 2016 festival was held on April 15–17 and 22–24, and was headlined by a reunited
LCD Soundsystem
, a reunited
Guns N' Roses
(with original members
Axl Rose
,
Slash
, and
Duff McKagan
), and
Calvin Harris
.
Ice Cube
's appearance featured a reunion of
N.W.A.
, while Guns N' Roses' first weekend performance featured a guest appearance from
Angus Young
of AC/DC, who headlined the previous year; the cameo occurred the same day that Rose was announced as the new singer for AC/DC. Weekend two was marked by several tributes to Prince, the 2008 headliner who died just prior to the weekend's shows. The festival sold 198,000 tickets and grossed $94.2 million.

In January 2017, reports circulated that AEG owner
Philip Anschutz
had donated to many right-wing causes, including organizations promoting
LGBTQ
discrimination and
climate change denial
.
[
86
]
The news led to calls for fans to boycott the festival.
[
87
]
Anschutz decried the controversy as "fake news", saying he would never knowingly contribute to an anti-LGBTQ organization and would cease donations to any such group of which he became aware.
[
88
]
The 2017 edition of Coachella took place from April 14–16 and April 21–23, and featured Radiohead,
Lady Gaga
, and
Kendrick Lamar

The performances received immediate, widespread praise,
[

]
[
101
]
[
102
]
and were described by many media outlets as historic.

The New York Times
music critic
Jon Caramanica
wrote, "There's not likely to be a more meaningful, absorbing, forceful and radical performance by an American musician this year, or any year soon, than Beyoncé's headlining set".
[
101
]
Her performance garnered 458,000 simultaneous viewers on
YouTube
to become the festival's most viewed performance, and the entire festival had 41 million total viewers, making it the most livestreamed event ever.
[
106

[

The performances were captured for a concert film,
Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé
, and a live album,
Homecoming: The Live Album
, released in April 2019.
A report in
Teen Vogue
described "rampant" sexual harassment and assault at the 2018 festival, and the author said she was groped 22 times in 10 hours.
[
108
]
In response, Goldenvoice announced a new initiative in January 2019 called "Every One", which comprises "fan resources and policies" to combat sexual misconduct and improve the festival's responses to such behavior. "Safety ambassadors" were made available to direct attendees to professional counselors, and specially marked locations were added for attendees to seek services or report incidents of sexual misconduct. One of the program's goals stated, "We are taking deliberate steps to develop a festival culture that is safe and inclusive for everyone".

Coachella celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019. Taking place from April 12–14 and 19–21, the festival was headlined by
Childish Gambino
,
Tame Impala
, and
Ariana Grande
.
[
110
]
[
111
]
At 25 years old, Grande became the youngest artist to headline the festival and just its fourth female headliner.
[
112
]
The festival was beset with several challenges.
Justin Timberlake
was reportedly slated to headline but had to cancel after bruising his vocal cords.
[
113
]
Goldenvoice was also forced to abandon plans for
Kanye West
to headline, as they could not accommodate his request to build a giant dome for his performance in the middle of the festival grounds. West was instead allowed to hold the first public "
Sunday Service
" performance on Easter on April 21 at the venue's campgrounds.
[
114
]
West and a gospel choir performed an approximately 33-song set list of his songs as well as classic R&B and gospel covers.
[
115
]
The first weekend of the festival suffered audio technical difficulties with several high-profile performances.
[
116
]
The following weekend,
The Daily Beast
published a report of the alleged "inhumane treatment" of the festival's security guards. The workers cited poor tent conditions, insufficient food and water, long hours in the harsh sun, minimum wages, and poor communication and coordination between the organizers and the subcontracting security firms.
[
117
]
The 2020 festival was originally scheduled to take place on April 10–12 and April 17–19 with
Rage Against the Machine
,
Travis Scott
, and
Frank Ocean
as the headlining acts.
[
118
]
[
119
]
Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
, the festival was initially postponed until October 9–11 and October 16–18,
[
3
]
but in June, Riverside County public health officers announced it and Stagecoach had been cancelled altogether due to a ban on public gatherings, as well as
lockdowns
and
travel restrictions
.
[
120
]
On April 10, a documentary profiling the festival's 20-year history,
Coachella: 20 Years in the Desert
, was released on
YouTube
to coincide with the original start date of the 2020 event.
[
121
]
The 2021 festival was also cancelled as a result of
pandemic restrictions in California
and the threats of the
COVID-19 variants
.
[
122
]
Coachella returned in 2022 on April 15–17 and April 22–24.
[
123
]
The headlining lineup initially comprised
Harry Styles
,
Billie Eilish
,
Kanye West
, and
Swedish House Mafia
.
[
124
]
Less than two weeks before the festival, West withdrew. The vacancy in the Sunday night headliner slot was filled by Swedish House Mafia – who previously had not been scheduled for a specific day – for a joint performance with
the Weeknd
.
[
125
]
While not advertised as a headlining act,
Arcade Fire
was added to the official 2022 schedule on April 14, a day before the festival's first weekend.
[
126
]
Blackpink
became the first Asian act to headline Coachella in 2023
The 2023 edition of Coachella, which took place from April 14–16 and April 21–23, was also beset with last-minute lineup changes. The originally announced headliners were
Bad Bunny
,
Blackpink
, and
Frank Ocean
; the former two were Coachella's first Latin and Asian headliners, respectively.
[
127
]
In the days leading up to the first weekend, Ocean suffered leg injuries from an alleged bicycle accident on the festival grounds. The production for his performance was then scaled down extensively;
[
128
]
plans to utilize an ice rink with over 100 skaters were scrapped at the last minute,
[
129
]
forcing festival crew to hurriedly melt the ice surface.
[
130
]
Ocean began his performance an hour late, and after exceeding the festival curfew by 25 minutes, he abruptly ended his show.
[
131
]
He subsequently withdrew from the second weekend, citing recommendations from his doctor.
Blink-182
, which reunited its classic lineup and had been added to the festival two days before it began,
[
132
]
was promoted to fill the second weekend's headlining vacancy on Sunday night.
[
133
]
After they performed, the trio of DJs
Skrillex
,
Four Tet
, and
Fred Again
– all of whom were added to the lineup the day before the second weekend began – concluded the festival.
[
134
]
According to reports, Goldenvoice will incur more than $4 million in losses from the production costs associated with Ocean's unused ice rink, more than his booking fee for the performance. The promoters were also fined $133,000 for curfew violations from the opening weekend.
[
135
]
The
2024 edition of the festival
featured headliners
Lana Del Rey
,
Tyler, the Creator
, and
Doja Cat
plus a reunion by
No Doubt
, their first shows together since 2015.
[
136
]
It took nearly a month for the first weekend of Coachella to sell out, whereas it normally sells out within a week.

Coachella 2025
featured headline performances from
Lady Gaga
, who previously headlined in 2017,
Green Day
, and
Post Malone
.
Travis Scott
, who was not initially attached to a specific day, is also given headline billing and performed after Green Day on the Saturday shows. Gaga became just the second woman to headline Coachella twice, following
Björk
.
Her show
received critical acclaim and was described by several media outlets as "an all-timer experience" and one "for the history books", with the singer being called a "once-in-a-generation" performer.

Coachella takes place in
Indio, California
, located in the
Inland Empire
region's
Coachella Valley
within the
Colorado Desert
. Temperatures during the festival's history have ranged from 43
°F
(6
°C
) on April 14, 2012, to 106
°F
(41
°C
) on April 21, 2012.
[
145
]
The festival is hosted at the 78-acre
Empire Polo Club
;
[
146
]
when accounting for land used for parking and camping, the event covers a footprint of approximately 642 acres.
[
147
]
The site is about 125 miles (200 km) east of
Los Angeles
.
[
52
]
During the festival, several stages continuously host live music. Two outdoor stages are used, along with several tents named after deserts.
[
148
]
The primary stages that have been in use since Coachella's inception are:
Coachella Stage
– the main stage that draws the largest crowds. This outdoor stage is where the headlining acts perform.
Outdoor Theatre
– a smaller outdoor stage adjacent to the Coachella Stage
Mojave
– a mid-size tent
[
149
]
named after the
Mojave Desert
that hosts acts across multiple genres and varying stages of development.
[
148
]
In 2017, it was moved behind an access road. A year later, it received further changes, as it was enlarged and moved again, this time to the Sahara's previous spot near the rose garden.
[
149
]
Gobi
– a mid-size tent named after the
Gobi Desert
that hosts acts across multiple genres and varying stages of development.
[
148
]
Like the Mojave, it was moved behind an access road in 2017.
[
149
]
Sahara
– a large,
hangar
-like tent named after the
Sahara Desert
. It generally hosts the top
electronic dance music
acts.
[
148
]
In 2013, the tent was expanded in size, reaching a height of 80 feet. Further changes were made in 2018, as it was built 25 percent larger and relocated west from the row of tents near the Empire Polo Club's rose garden to a spot on the Eldorado Polo Club near the festival entrance. The new location offers more shade and alleviates issues with foot traffic.
[
149
]
[
150
]
The stage was also moved from one of the open ends of the structure to one of its sides, allowing a wider field of view to attendees.
[
150
]
Additional performance areas have been added over time, including:
Yuma
– a small indoor tent introduced in 2013
[
151
]
that primarily hosts emerging
DJs
.
[
148
]
The tent was intended to be "a sophisticated space that dials down the noise and strobe lights in favor of thoughtful sounds and underground acts".
[
151
]
Sonora
– a small indoor tent introduced in 2017 to host
punk rock
and
Latin
acts
[
148
]
Heineken House
– a small venue introduced in 2014. It was dedicated to "legendary musical performances" and "live mash-ups from a wide array of musical artists".
[
152
]
Originally designed as a walled structure to provide a club-like atmosphere, it was redesigned in 2019 to feature an open beer garden layout with a slanted roof, eliminating the long waiting lines and giving more visibility to attendees.
[
153
]
Despacio
– a small indoor tent used in 2016. Co-created by
James Murphy
of
LCD Soundsystem
, the venue played "slow-simmering disco and vintage club music" on
vinyl
with the intention of creating a joyful setting. It featured a 50,000 watt sound system and air conditioning.
[
154
]
[
155
]
Antarctic
– an indoor dome introduced in 2017 to screen
360-degree immersive videos
. The structure is 120 feet in diameter, features 11,000 square feet in projection space and air conditioning, and can seat 500 people.
Obscura Digital
produced the film shown in 2017.
[

Oasis Dome
– Used in 2006 and 2011
Quasar
– An outdoor stage introduced in 2024 for long format DJ sets.
Two art installations from Coachella 2014: Lightweaver and Escape Velocity. The latter piece was one of several giant moving art installations designed by Poetic Kinetics for past Coachella festivals.
In addition to hosting live music, Coachella is a showcase for
visual arts
, including
installation art
and
sculpture
. Many of the pieces are
interactive
, providing a visual treat for attendees.
[
157
]
Throughout the years, the art has grown in scale and outrageousness.
[
158
]
Paul Clemente, Coachella's art director since 2009,
[
159
]
said, "I think the level of detail and finish and artistry and scale and complexity and technology, everything is constantly getting notched up, ratcheted up. We're obviously constantly trying to, for lack of a better word, outdo ourselves and make it better for the fans."
[
158
]
In Coachella's early years, art was mostly recycled from the previous year's
Burning Man
festival, due to smaller budgets.
[
159
]
Between 2010 and 2015, Goldenvoice shifted its focus from renting pieces to commissioning them specifically for the festival, increasing their budget. Artists are given access to the grounds just 10 days before the festival, giving them a tight timeframe in which to assemble their pieces.
[
158
]
Due to the high cost of re-assembly, only about half of them appear again outside of Coachella.
[
157
]
Describing the festival's importance to art, Cynthia Washburn of art collective Poetic Kinetics said, "With all the exposure here, I think Coachella is becoming as attractive for artists as it is for the musicians."
[
160
]
In 2013, Clemente considered about 300 art proposals, the most in the festival's history for the time.
[
160
]
Poetic Kinetics has designed several giant moving art installations for past Coachella festivals, including a snail in 2013 ("Helix Poeticus"), an astronaut in 2014 ("Escape Velocity"), and a caterpillar that "metamorphosized" into a butterfly in 2015 ("Papilio Merraculous").
[
161
]
The collective reprised the astronaut for the 2019 festival ("Overview Effect"), with weathering affects applied to the design.
[
162
]
Some of the works have been featured at
Art Basel
, and involved participants from architecture schools, both local and international. A few of the visual artists, such as Hotshot the Robot,
Robochrist Industries
, the Tesla Coil (Cauac),
Cyclecide
, and The Do LaB, alongside avant-garde performance troupe
Lucent Dossier Experience
, have appeared for several consecutive years.

As the host city to Coachella and the
Stagecoach Festival
, Indio provides several services such as police and fire protection, private security, medical services, outside law enforcement, and city staff services. These services for the three weekends of festivals totaled $2.77 million in 2012.
[
163
]
All public safety needs are coordinated by Indio's police department, requiring them to liaise with nearly 12 agencies, including police departments from nearby cities, the
sheriff
's department,
California Highway Patrol
, the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
,
American Medical Response
, and the
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
.
[
163
]
To avoid disturbing local residents, a
curfew
for music performances is enforced; since 2010, it has been 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, an hour later than the previous curfew,
[
163
]
and midnight on Sunday nights.
[
82
]
Per a 2013 agreement with the City of Indio, Goldenvoice must pay a fine of $20,000 if it exceeds the curfew by five minutes, plus $1,000 for each additional minute beyond that. The fines benefit the city's General Fund, which covers operating costs, public work services, and the police and fire departments.

Coachella features
Global Inheritance
's TRASHed :: Art of Recycling campaign, in which artists from across the US design recycling bins.
Organizers of Coachella manage its
carbon footprint
by partnering with the organization
Global Inheritance
to promote several environmentally friendly initiatives. Global Inheritance's original project was its "TRASHed :: Art of Recycling" campaign, which challenges local artists to design and decorate recycling bins that are placed across the festival grounds.
[
165
]
Another program is "Carpoolchella"; launched in 2007,
[
165
]
it rewards festivalgoers who
carpool
in groups of four or more and display the word "Carpoolchella" on their cars by entering them in a drawing to win VIP tickets for life.
[
166
]
Through the 2014 festival, the program had 140,000 participants and more than 70 winners of lifetime festival passes.
[
167
]
In 2007, Coachella teamed up with Global Inheritance to start a 10-for-1 recycling program, in which anyone who collects ten empty water bottles receives a free full one. In 2009, the festival introduced $10 refillable water bottles, which purchasers could refill at water stations inside the festival and within the campgrounds.
[
168
]
Other programs used at the festival include
solar powered
DJ booths and
seesaws
used to charge mobile phones.
[
165
]
About 600 staffers are required to collect the litter that accumulates during the festival. Resources are sorted individually on site before being taken to local landfills and recycling centers. Goldenvoice maintains a goal to "divert 90 percent of [its] recyclable and compostable materials". In 2013, staff diverted over 577,720,000 pounds of materials, comprising 36,860 tons of aluminum cans, 105,000 tons of cardboard, 65,360 tons of PET plastic, 47,040 tons of scrap metal, and 34,600 tons of glass.
[
169
]
In 2003, Coachella began allowing tent camping as an option for festival lodging. The campground site is on a polo field adjacent to the venue grounds and has its own entrance on the south side of the venue. 2010 introduced many new features, such as re-entry from the campsite to the festival grounds, parking next to your tent, and
recreational vehicle
camping spots (
recreational vehicle
camping was offered one year only). For that festival, there were more than 17,000 campers. At the 2012 event, on-site facilities included recycling, a general store, showers, mobile phone charging stations and an internet cafe with free WiFi.
[
170
]
Tollett begins to book artists for each festival as early as the previous August. In addition to agent pitches and artists discovered online, the lineup is culled from acts booked by Goldenvoice for their other 1,800 shows each year. Tollett uses the promoter's ticketing figures for insight into whom to book, saying: "There are AEG shows all across the country, and I see all their show lists and ticket counts. So I see little things that are happening maybe before some others, because they don't have that data."
[
171
]
The booking process takes approximately six months.
[
9
]
According to the
Los Angeles Times
, booking fees for most artists playing the festival allegedly start at $15,000 and extend into the "high six figures." Top-billed artists for 2010 were expected to receive over $1 million.
[
172
]
Billboard
'
s sources estimated that non-headline acts can earn anywhere from $500 to $100,000.
[
171
]
According to a 2017 profile on Tollett in
The New Yorker
, that year's headlining performers received $3–4 million.
[
9
]
Beyoncé's 2018 performances and Ariana Grande's 2019 performances reportedly garnered them each $8 million.
[
173
]
In booking the festival, Goldenvoice uses
radius clauses
that can prevent acts from performing in the vicinity of Coachella for a certain amount of time before and after the festival. The promoter has allowed some of Coachella's acts to make appearances in the region prior to the festival and between weekends, but only at events and venues owned or controlled by Goldenvoice's parent company AEG; one such example was
Jay-Z
's concert at Staples Center in 2010.
[
172
]
[
174
]
[
175
]
Goldenvoice now promotes these events, dubbed "Localchella", as a series of small warm-up shows for Coachella in Southern California.
[
176
]
[
177
]
In May 2018, AEG and its subsidiaries were sued by the Oregon-based Soul'D Out Festival for
anti-competitive practices
related to Coachella's radius clause. As part of the lawsuit, the clause's details were revealed. They stipulate that any artist performing at Coachella:
[
178
]
[
179
]
Cannot perform at any other North American festival from December 15 to May 1.
Cannot play any hard ticket shows in Southern California from December 15 to May 1.
Cannot "advertise, publicize or leak" performances for competing festivals in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, or Arizona, or headlining performances in Southern California taking place after May 1 until after May 7.
Cannot announce festival appearances for the other 45 US states until after the January announcement of Coachella's lineup, except for
South by Southwest
,
Ultra Music Festival
, and the
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
.
Cannot publicize concerts in California, Arizona, Washington, or Oregon until after the January announcement of Coachella's lineup, except for performances in Las Vegas casinos.
Goldenvoice attempts to release the lineup poster as close to
New Year's Day
as possible, so that Coachella is the first major festival of the year to announce its lineup. This gives the promoter a competitive advantage over other festivals, many of which end up sharing headliners by the time they are all announced.
[
9
]
The Coachella lineup poster lists its music artists across several lines in gradually decreasing
font sizes
in descending order of prominence. The line on which an artist's name appears as well as their font size is a contentious topic between Goldenvoice and talent agents, as placement on the poster will often dictate an artist's future booking fee. Tollett said, "We have so many arguments over font sizes. I literally have
gone to the mat
over one point size."
[
9
]
Organizers were initially resistant to accepting sponsorship deals that would help Coachella turn a higher profit. In 2003, Tollett estimated that Goldenvoice could earn an additional $300,000 to $500,000 by adding a corporate sponsor to the festival name, but he did not want to violate the purity of the event. He said, "I hate it when you go to shows and you are bombarded with all this advertising. It just shows a lack of respect for your audience and the music."
[
23
]
Organizers have relaxed their opposition over the years. Brewing company
Heineken N.V.
has maintained a sponsorship with Coachella since 2002, and is the "official brew" of the festival.
[
180
]
The company has sponsored a small performance venue at the festival called the "Heineken House" since 2014, where attendees can drink
Heineken
beers and keep their cases of Heineken refrigerated.
[
152
]
Clothing retailer
H&M
added a small sponsored tent on the festival grounds in 2015,
[
181
]
where attendees could purchase items from the company's Coachella-inspired clothing line called "H&M Loves Coachella".
[
182
]
Information technology company
HP
has sponsored the Antarctic dome since 2017,
[
156
]
in addition to hosting a promotional tent.
[
183
]
HP's promotions included allowing attendees to design and print bandanas and tote bags, capture
light drawing
GIFs
, design kaleidoscopes, and interact with a motion-reactive wall.
[
156
]
[
183
]
Tollett still objects to having the primary stages and tents sponsored: "I wouldn't let sponsors' logos on the stages. I feel like when the band is playing it should be you and the band, and it's a sacred moment."
[

]
Since 2011,
YouTube
has
live streamed
performances from Coachella.
[
184
]
Initially, the first weekend was streamed across three separate channels.
[
146
]
[
185
]
In 2014,
AXS TV
began broadcasting the second weekend on television;
[
186
]
over 20 hours of live performances from the 2015 festival were broadcast on AXS TV.
[
187
]
Performances from the 2015 festival were also broadcast live on
Sirius XM
satellite radio for the first time.
[
188
]
In 2019, YouTube expanded its content for the festival livestream, which included a stream of both weekends of the festival for the first time. Weekend one included a premiere of
Donald Glover
's film
Guava Island
, while weekend two featured
Coachella Curated
, programming hosted by radio personality
Jason Bentley
that took "a deep dive into the festival experience" by offering "encore and live performances, artist commentary, mini-docs, animated adventures and more".
[
189
]
Coachella Curated
was reprised for the 2022 festival's second weekend.
[
190
]
In 2023, Coachella's streaming agreement with YouTube was renewed through 2026,
[
184
]
and for the first time, performances from all six stages were streamed, covering both weekends.
[
191
]
For 2016, organizers partnered with Vantage.tv to offer
virtual reality
(VR) content for the festival. Ticket holders received a cardboard
VR viewer
inspired by
Google Cardboard
in their Coachella welcome package that could be used with the Coachella VR
mobile app
(which was released on
Android
,
iOS
, and
Samsung Gear VR
). Content included 360-degree panoramic photos of previous events, virtual tours of the 2016 festival site, interviews, and performances.
[
192
]
That same year, YouTube live streamed performances from weekend two in 360 degrees for viewing with VR headsets.
[
193
]
The success of Coachella has led its organizers to partner with other American music festivals. In 2003, Goldenvoice agreed to work with the organizers of Field Day, a New York-based festival modeled after Coachella, to help promote and produce the event,
[
194
]
although the show was completely overhauled from its original vision.
[
195
]
In September 2014, Goldenvoice announced it had entered into a joint venture with Red Frog Events to help them promote and produce their
Firefly Music Festival
.
[
196
]
In January 2015, a similar agreement was reached with the organizers of the
Hangout Music Festival
.
[
197
]
Goldenvoice claimed it spent $700,000 in 2015 on "media and related content to promote Coachella".
[
198
]
Goldenvoice has actively protected the Coachella
brand
. As of April 2018, they filed six lawsuits in the previous two years against outlets that attempted to use the Coachella name or the suffix "chella". The
defendants
included the music festival Hoodchella; the film festival Filmchella; energy company
Phillips 66
, which promoted a Coachella wristband giveaway that the festival's terms of services disallows;
Sean Combs
's event "Combschella";
Urban Outfitters
; and a
Whole Foods
location in
Palm Desert
that promoted a "Wholechella" concert and tasting event. Another lawsuit was filed in September 2021 against radio presenter RaaShaun Casey (also known as DJ Envy) for his hip hop and auto show "Carchella", which he agreed to rename to "DJ Envy's Drive Your Dreams Car Show".
[
199
]
[
200

According to Goldenvoice's attorneys in one lawsuit, the litigation is one way the promoter attempts to "extensively police unauthorized use of the Coachella Marks". Although the Coachella name has been in use by
a town in the Coachella Valley
since before the festival was founded, the festival's success has imbued the name with "
secondary meaning
", allowing Goldenvoice to
trademark
it.

In December 2021, Coachella won a restraining order against
Live Nation
's Coachella Day One 22 festival. A judge ruled that Live Nation is likely infringing trademarks by selling tickets to the event nearby.

According to a 2015 ranking by online ticket retailer
Viagogo
, Coachella was the second-most in-demand concert ticket, trailing only the
Tomorrowland
festival.

Coachella is considered a trendsetter in music and fashion. Singer
Katy Perry
said, "The lineup always introduces the best of the year for the rest of the year."

Coachella has become known for the variety of distinctive apparel worn by attendees, which primarily include eclectic combinations of colors, materials, and ethnic borrowings.

Some activists and journalists have criticized the latter as being
cultural appropriation
, particularly non-natives wearing
Native American
-inspired
headdresses
and body paint.

According to a 2012 economic impact study, Coachella brought $254.4 million to the desert region that year;
[
207
]
of that total, Indio received $89.2 million in
consumer spending
and $1.4 million in tax revenue.

Goldenvoice's other festival at the Empire Polo Club, Stagecoach, has been called a "cousin" of Coachella, but it has grown at a faster pace, eventually selling out for the first time in 2012 with 55,000 attendees.
[
208
]
Together, the two festivals were estimated by experts to have a global impact of $704.75 million in 2016;
[
209
]
approximately $403.2 million of that was expected to impact the Coachella Valley,
[
209
]
$106 million of which would go to businesses in Indio.
[

]
The city was expected to gain $3.18 million in ticket taxes from the two festivals in 2016.

The success of Coachella led to Goldenvoice holding additional music festivals at the Empire Polo Club. It founded the country music festival Stagecoach in 2007 and continues to hold it on an annual basis. In 2011, the promoter staged the Big 4 festival, so-named for its quadruple billing of the most prominent bands in
thrash metal
—
Anthrax
,
Megadeth
,
Metallica
, and
Slayer
.
[

]
In 2016, Goldenvoice staged
Desert Trip
, which featured older rock oriented and legacy acts such as
the Rolling Stones
,
Paul McCartney
, and
Bob Dylan
.

**Coachella** (officially called the **Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival** and sometimes known as **Coachella Festival**) is an annual [music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_festival "Music festival") and [arts festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_festival "Arts festival") held at the [Empire Polo Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Polo_Club "Empire Polo Club") in [Indio, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indio,_California "Indio, California"), in the [Coachella Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley "Coachella Valley") in the [Colorado Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Desert "Colorado Desert"). It was co-founded by [Paul Tollett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tollett "Paul Tollett") and Rick Van Santen in 1999, and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of [AEG Presents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group "Anschutz Entertainment Group").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-santen-obit-2) The event features musical artists from many [genres of music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre "Music genre"), including [rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_music "Rock music"), [pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music "Pop music"), [indie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_music "Independent music"), [hip hop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music "Hip hop music") and [electronic dance music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music"), as well as [art installations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installation_art "Installation art") and [sculptures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture "Sculpture"). Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music.
The festival's origins trace back to a 1993 concert that [Pearl Jam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam "Pearl Jam") performed at the Empire Polo Club while boycotting venues controlled by [Ticketmaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticketmaster "Ticketmaster"). The show validated the site's viability for hosting large events, leading to the inaugural Coachella Festival being held over the course of two days in October 1999, three months after [Woodstock '99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_1999 "Woodstock 1999"). After no event was held in 2000, Coachella returned on an annual basis beginning in April 2001 as a single-day event. In 2002, the festival reverted to a two-day format. Coachella was expanded to a third day in 2007 and eventually a second weekend in 2012; it is now held on consecutive three-day weekends in April, with the same lineup each weekend. Organizers began permitting spectators to camp on the grounds in 2003, one of several expansions and additions in the festival's history. The festival was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-postponement-3)
Coachella showcases popular and established musical artists as well as emerging artists and reunited groups. It is one of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the United States and the world.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-5) Each Coachella staged from 2013 to 2015 set new records for festival attendance and gross revenues. The 2017 festival was attended by 250,000 people and grossed \$114.6 million. Coachella's success led to Goldenvoice establishing additional music festivals at the site, beginning with the annual [Stagecoach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_Festival "Stagecoach Festival") [country music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music "Country music") festival in 2007.

\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: History")\]
> Even before we looked at \[Empire Polo Club\], it hit us. We wanted it to be far. So you surrender. So you can't leave your house and see a couple bands and be back home that night. We want you to go out there, get tired, and curse the show by Sunday afternoon. That sunset, and that whole feeling of Coachella hits you.
—Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett, describing the rationale behind the festival's location[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollett-6)
On November 5, 1993, during their [Vs. Tour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vs._Tour "Vs. Tour"), American rock band [Pearl Jam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam "Pearl Jam") performed for almost 25,000 fans at the [Empire Polo Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Polo_Club "Empire Polo Club") in [Indio, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indio,_California "Indio, California").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-7) The site was selected because the band refused to play in Los Angeles as a result of a dispute with [Ticketmaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticketmaster "Ticketmaster") over service charges applied to ticket purchases.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) The show established the polo club's suitability for large-scale events; [Paul Tollett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tollett "Paul Tollett"), whose concert promotion company Goldenvoice booked the venue for Pearl Jam, said the concert sowed the seeds for an eventual [music festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_festival "Music festival") there.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollett-6)
Around 1997, Goldenvoice was struggling to book concerts against larger companies, and they were unable to offer guarantees as high as their competitors, such as [SFX Entertainment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFX_Entertainment "SFX Entertainment"). Tollett said, "We were getting our ass kicked financially. We were losing a lot of bands. And we couldn't compete with the money."[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:0-10) As a result, the idea of a music festival was conceived, and Tollett began to brainstorm ideas for one with multiple venues. His intent was to book trendy artists who were not necessarily chart successes: "Maybe if you put a bunch of them together, that might be a magnet for a lot of people."[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8) While attending the 1997 [Glastonbury Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival "Glastonbury Festival"), Tollett handed out pamphlets to artists and talent managers that featured pictures of the Empire Polo Club and pitched a possible festival there. In contrast to the frequently muddy conditions at Glastonbury caused by rain, he recalled, "We had this pamphlet... showing sunny Coachella. Everyone was laughing."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
After scouting several sites for their festival,[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollett-6) Tollett and Goldenvoice co-president Rick Van Santen returned to the Empire Polo Club during the Big Gig festival in 1998. Impressed by the location's suitability for a festival, they decided to book their event there.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8) The promoters had hoped to stage their inaugural festival in 1998 but were unable to until the following year.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) On July 16, 1999, Goldenvoice announced that the Indio City Council had approved the festival and would provide \$90,000 for services such as traffic control and public safety. The funds came with a guarantee of repayment from the promoter, as the city was keen to avoid incurring another loss; the previous year's Big Gig festival cost Indio \$16,000 due to last-minute changes to the lineup and poor attendance.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-11) The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was officially announced on July 28 with a preliminary lineup of 40 acts;[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-12) tickets went on sale on August 7.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-13)
Coachella's announcement came just one week after the conclusion of [Woodstock '99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_%2799 "Woodstock '99"), a festival in July 1999 that was marred by looting, arson, violence, and rapes. Goldenvoice's insurance costs increased 40% as a result and the company faced uncertainty regarding Coachella's tickets.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-willtheycome-14) Organizers were already aiming to provide a "high-comfort festival experience" for Coachella but rededicated themselves to those efforts after Woodstock '99. Advertisements boasted free water fountains, ample restrooms, and misting tents.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-willtheycome-14) Retrospectively, Tollett called the decision to announce a new festival just two months prior to staging it "financial suicide".[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
### 1999, 2001–2002
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: 1999, 2001–2002")\]
On October 9–10, 1999, the inaugural Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was held. Headlining the event were [Beck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck "Beck"), [Tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_\(band\) "Tool (band)"), and [Rage Against the Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_Against_the_Machine "Rage Against the Machine"); other acts included [the Chemical Brothers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_Brothers "The Chemical Brothers"), [Morrissey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrissey "Morrissey"), [A Perfect Circle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Perfect_Circle "A Perfect Circle"), [Jurassic 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_5 "Jurassic 5") and [Underworld](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld_\(band\) "Underworld (band)"). Originally, promoters had hoped to make the event three days (Friday to Sunday) and even considered the UK group [Massive Attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_Attack "Massive Attack") as the third-day headliner.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-15) The organizers strove to recreate European music festivals with small crowds in a great setting with plenty of turntables.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rsreview99-16) By booking acts based on artistry rather than radio popularity, Coachella earned the title of "the anti-Woodstock".[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-Rolling_Stone-17)
Tickets sold for \$50 for each day; about 17,000 tickets sold for the first day, and 20,000 for the second,[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rsreview99-16) falling short of the overall attendance goal of 70,000.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-welloiled-18) Attendees were offered free parking and a free bottle of water upon entrance.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rsreview99-16) The event went smoothly, with the well-behaved crowd starkly contrasting with the violence that plagued Woodstock '99; the biggest challenges to Coachella concertgoers were temperatures exceeding 100 °F and the decisions of which of the 80-plus acts to attend.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-Rolling_Stone-17)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-welloiled-18)[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-19) The festival was well regarded among attendees and critics; [Pollstar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollstar "Pollstar") named it festival of the year, and [Robert Hilburn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hilburn "Robert Hilburn") of the *[Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times")* said that it "laid the foundation for what someday may be a legacy of its own".[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2000cancel-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-21) However, Goldenvoice lost \$850,000 on the undertaking,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) forcing the promoter, in Tollett's words, to "struggle for almost two years to survive as a company".[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23) Prominent acts, including the headliners, agreed to receive [deferred compensation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_compensation "Deferred compensation").[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-businessweek-24)
Goldenvoice reserved tentative dates for October 2000 to reprise the festival,[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-25) but ultimately canceled for that year; Tollett blamed it on the oversaturation of music festivals in Southern California.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2000cancel-20) Instead, Goldenvoice partnered with promoter [Pasquale Rotella](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasquale_Rotella "Pasquale Rotella") to stage the [electronic dance music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music") festival [Nocturnal Wonderland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_Wonderland "Nocturnal Wonderland") at the Empire Polo Club in September 2000.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-1st-upend-26)[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-27)
Goldenvoice opted to bring Coachella back in April 2001 in an attempt to beat the heat.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2000cancel-20)[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-28) Ticket prices were raised to \$65.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-29) Organizers encountered difficulty booking acts for the festival and due to "available talent", were forced to shorten the festival to a single day.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-30) Issues with securing a headliner threatened to doom the event until [Perry Farrell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Farrell "Perry Farrell") agreed to bring his reunited group [Jane's Addiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane%27s_Addiction "Jane's Addiction") to the proceedings.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-phont-31) Amidst financial concerns, Tollett agreed to sell Goldenvoice to [Anschutz Entertainment Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group "Anschutz Entertainment Group") (AEG) in March 2001 for \$7 million.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-32) AEG, which had opened [Staples Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staples_Center "Staples Center") in Los Angeles two years prior, purchased the promoter to help them find shows to book. The corporation wanted Tollett to continue staging Coachella, understanding that it initially would lose money;[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) Tollett initially retained full control of Coachella as a result of the acquisition.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-phont-31)[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-33) Like its predecessor, the 2001 festival went smoothly;[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23) 32,000 people attended,[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-1st-upend-26) and despite taking a loss again, Tollett estimates it was a "low, low six-figure sum".[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23)
For its third outing, Coachella reverted to a two-day format and took place from April 27–28, 2002. Tollett said that the event was expanded to a second day after more acts began expressing interest in participating.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-021702-desertsun-34) With around 60 artists performing,[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-35) the festival featured headliners [Björk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk "Björk") and [Oasis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_\(band\) "Oasis (band)"), along with a reunion of [Siouxsie and the Banshees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxsie_and_the_Banshees "Siouxsie and the Banshees").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-36) Palm Desert natives [Queens of the Stone Age](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens_of_the_Stone_Age "Queens of the Stone Age") became the first local band to play the festival.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) Multiple changes were made for that year: one less tent was used,[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-042802-desertsun-37) reducing the number of stages from five to four,[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-021702-desertsun-34) and a fence in the middle of the polo field was removed to increase the openness of the site.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-042802-desertsun-37) The strong supporting acts helped prove to the Indio community that the event could bring in money and take place without conflict. More than 55,000 people attended over the two days,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) and for the first time, the festival nearly broke even.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23)
### 2003–2005
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=3 "Edit section: 2003–2005")\]
The 2003 festival took place from April 26–27.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:0-10) Among the 82 acts booked by Goldenvoice were headliners [Red Hot Chili Peppers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers "Red Hot Chili Peppers") and [Beastie Boys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastie_Boys "Beastie Boys"), as well as a reunited [Iggy Pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iggy_Pop "Iggy Pop") and [the Stooges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stooges "The Stooges"). Performances were held on two outdoor stages and in three tents.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-38) Ticket prices remained \$75 per day, but were increased to \$140 for a two-day pass.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:0-10) For the first time, on-site camping was offered;[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-39) the Indio City Council approved overnight camping at the site, permitting up to four people on each of the 2,252 camping spots.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-40) The festival drew 60,000 people, the largest Coachella crowd to that point.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-03att-41) The festival began to develop worldwide interest and receive national renown.
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Radiohead_Coachella_2004.jpg)
Goldenvoice's Paul Tollett credits [Radiohead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiohead "Radiohead")'s appearance at the 2004 festival *(pictured)* with elevating the festival's stature.
In late December 2003, Van Santen died at the age of 41 from flu-related complications.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-santen-obit-2) With Tollett left, he sold half of Coachella to AEG in 2004, along with the controlling interest in the festival.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) The 2004 event featured a lineup of more than 80 acts,[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-latimes-2004-42) with [Radiohead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiohead "Radiohead") and [the Cure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure "The Cure") as headliners, along with a reunion of the [Pixies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixies_\(band\) "Pixies (band)"). It was Coachella's first sellout, drawing a two-day total of 110,000 people. For the first time, the festival attracted attendees from all 50 US states.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The event was critically acclaimed; Hilburn called it "the premier pop music festival in the country", while *[Rolling Stone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone "Rolling Stone")* labeled it "America's Best Music Festival". Tollett said that 2004 was the turning point for Coachella, and he credited booking Radiohead with elevating the festival's stature and interest among musicians. However, he also described that year's event as a missed opportunity, as he passed on a chance to expand it to a third day that could have featured [David Bowie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie "David Bowie") as a headliner.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-latimes-2004-42)
The 2005 event ran from April 30 to May 1 and featured [Coldplay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldplay "Coldplay") and Nine Inch Nails as headliners, along with a reunion of [Bauhaus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus_\(band\) "Bauhaus (band)"). A planned reunion of [Cocteau Twins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocteau_Twins "Cocteau Twins") was ultimately cancelled by the group.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-43) Approximately 50,000 people attended each day of the festival.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-05att-44)
### 2006–2008
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: 2006–2008")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Daft_punk_at_coachella.jpg)
[Daft Punk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk "Daft Punk")'s performance at Coachella 2006 is frequently cited as one of the most memorable in the festival's history.
The 2006 event featured headliners [Depeche Mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode "Depeche Mode") and [Tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_\(band\) "Tool (band)"). Two of the most popular performances were [Madonna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna "Madonna"), who played in an overflowing dance tent, and [Daft Punk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk "Daft Punk"), whose show featuring a pyramid-shaped stage is cited as one of the most memorable performances in Coachella history.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) Around 120,000 concertgoers attended the event over two days,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) garnering Goldenvoice a gross of \$9 million.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-06gross-45)
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bj%C3%B6rk_-_Coachella.jpg)
[Björk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk "Björk"), the festival's first female headliner, performing at Coachella on April 27, 2007
In 2007, Goldenvoice inaugurated the [Stagecoach Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_Festival "Stagecoach Festival"), an annual [country music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music "Country music") festival that also takes place at the Empire Polo Club the weekend following Coachella. The new event helped avert complications with organizing Coachella; the polo club's owner Alex Haagen III had been planning to redevelop the land unless a new profitable event could be created to make a long-term lease with Goldenvoice financially feasible.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8) Along with the new festival's addition, Coachella was permanently extended to three days in 2007. The headlining acts were Red Hot Chili Peppers, the reunited Rage Against the Machine, and Björk, all of whom headlined for the second time. The festival compiled a three-day aggregate attendance of over 186,000, a new best, and grossed \$16.3 million.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-billboard09-46)
In 2008, Coachella did not sell out for the first time since 2003. It featured headliners [Prince](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_\(musician\) "Prince (musician)"), [Roger Waters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Waters "Roger Waters"), and [Jack Johnson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Johnson_\(musician\) "Jack Johnson (musician)"). Waters' [inflatable prop pig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd_pigs "Pink Floyd pigs") flew away during his set.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The 2008 festival drew an attendance of 151,666 and grossed \$13.8 million,[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-billboard09-46) but lost money, due to tickets not selling out and high booking fees paid for Prince and Roger Waters.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-businessweek-24)
### 2009–2011
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=5 "Edit section: 2009–2011")\]
The 2009 festival occurred a week earlier than usual. The new dates were April 17, 18 and 19. The event featured headliners [Paul McCartney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney "Paul McCartney"), [The Killers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killers "The Killers"), and [The Cure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure "The Cure"). On Friday, McCartney blew past the festival's strict curfew by 54 minutes.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) Sunday, The Cure had their performance end abruptly, with the festival cutting stage power after passing their own curfew by 30 minutes.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-47) Notable performances included [Franz Ferdinand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Ferdinand_\(band\) "Franz Ferdinand (band)"), M.I.A. (whose 2005 encore set in a tent was a first at the fest), [Yeah Yeah Yeahs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeah_Yeah_Yeahs "Yeah Yeah Yeahs"), and rare appearances from artists [Leonard Cohen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Cohen "Leonard Cohen"), [Dr. Dog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dog "Dr. Dog") and [Throbbing Gristle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbbing_Gristle "Throbbing Gristle"). The festival drew an aggregate attendance of 152,962 and grossed \$15,328,863.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-09stats-48)
Organizers eliminated single-day ticket sales for 2010, and instead instituted a new policy offering three-day tickets only,[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-49) which drew mixed reactions.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-50) Headliners included [Jay-Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z "Jay-Z"), [Muse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_\(band\) "Muse (band)") and [Gorillaz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillaz "Gorillaz"), and reunions of [Faith No More](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_No_More "Faith No More") and [Pavement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_\(band\) "Pavement (band)").[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-51) Despite Tollett's reservations about holding a festival in 2010 due to the economy,[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sweetmusic-52) Coachella drew 75,000 spectators each day that year, for an estimated aggregate attendance of 225,000, surpassing previous records.[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-10att-53) Thousands of fans broke through fences, leading to concerns about overcrowding.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The festival grossed \$21,703,500.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-10gross-54) International travel was [disrupted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_April_2010_Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull_eruption "Effects of the April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption") by the [eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull "2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull") in [Iceland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland "Iceland"), resulting in some European acts, such as [Frightened Rabbit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frightened_Rabbit "Frightened Rabbit"), [Gary Numan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Numan "Gary Numan") and [Delphic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphic_\(band\) "Delphic (band)"), canceling their appearances at the festival.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-eruption-55)
Prior to the 2011 festival, Goldenvoice made several investments and improvements locally to help support Coachella. In addition to funding an additional lane for Avenue 50, which borders the festival, the promoter cleared additional space on the polo grounds by leveling a 250,000-square-foot area and moving horse stables.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-56) Lighting and security were also enhanced to help the festival run more smoothly.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The headliners for that year's event were [Kings of Leon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_of_Leon "Kings of Leon"), [Arcade Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire "Arcade Fire"), [Kanye West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West "Kanye West"), and [The Strokes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strokes "The Strokes"), along with another 190 supporting acts.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-57) The 2011 festival grossed \$24,993,698[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-11gross-58) from 75,000 paid attendees, for an aggregate attendance of 225,000 across the entire three-day weekend.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-11att-59)

On May 31, 2011, Goldenvoice announced that beginning with the 2012 festival, Coachella would be expanded to a second, separately-ticketed weekend, with identical lineups for each.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rs2weeks-60) Explaining the decision, Tollett said that demand for tickets was up in 2011 even after "operations weren't the best \[they've\] ever had" in 2010 and that he did not want to satisfy that demand by allowing additional attendees to overcrowd the venue.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-61) *Rolling Stone* called it a "very risky move" and said there was "no guarantee that demand \[would be\] high enough to sell out the same bill over two consecutive weekends".[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rs2weeks-60) Nonetheless, 2012 tickets sold out in less than three hours.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2012sellout-62)

Dr. Dre had asked permission from Shakur's mother Afeni, who said the next day that she was thrilled with the performance.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-68) A projection of deceased singer [Nate Dogg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Dogg "Nate Dogg") was also planned, but Dr. Dre decided against it. The 2012 festival grossed \$47,313,403 from 158,387 paid attendees across the two weekends; 80,726 tickets were sold for the first weekend, and 77,661 for the second.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-12stats-69)

Prior to the 2013 festival, it was announced that Goldenvoice had reached a deal with the city of Indio to keep the Coachella and Stagecoach Festivals there through 2030. As part of the agreement, Indio's per-ticket share of revenue would increase from \$2.33 per ticket to \$5.01.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-70) Headlining the 2013 festival were [Blur](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_\(band\) "Blur (band)"), [The Stone Roses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stone_Roses "The Stone Roses"), [Phoenix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_\(French_band\) "Phoenix (French band)"), and [Red Hot Chili Peppers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers "Red Hot Chili Peppers").[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-71) General admission tickets sold for \$349, a \$34 increase from the previous year.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-72) The festival grossed \$67.2 million in ticket sales and was attended by 180,000 people, making it the top music festival in the world.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-13stats-73) In July 2013, Goldenvoice finalized a \$30 million purchase of 280 acres of land surrounding the Empire Polo Club, including the 200-acre Eldorado Polo Club. The land, previously leased from Eldorado, will be used to provide more space for parking and general use for the festival.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-74) Tollett said the purchase was intended to "help \[Goldenvoice\] put in some infrastructure so \[they\] don't have to keep coming back and do the same things each year".[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-75)
The 2014 festival, held on April 11–13 and April 18–20, featured 184 artists.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ut2014-76) A reunited [Outkast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outkast "Outkast") headlined on Friday, [Muse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_\(band\) "Muse (band)") on Saturday, and [Arcade Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire "Arcade Fire") on Sunday.[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-77) General admission tickets sold out in less than 20 minutes, while all other tickets (including VIP tickets in excess of \$5,000) sold out in less than 3 hours.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] That year's festival featured 96,500 daily attendees and grossed a record-breaking \$78.332 million.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-14boxscore-78)[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-15boxscore-79) For the fourth consecutive year, Coachella was named the Top Festival at the [Billboard Touring Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Touring_Awards "Billboard Touring Awards").[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-15boxscore-79)

In March 2016, the Indio City Council passed a measure to raise the attendance cap for Coachella from 99,000 to 125,000, stipulating that the capacity would gradually be increased, giving the city time to accommodate the crowds. Goldenvoice increased the venue size by about 50 acres along Monroe Street, Avenue 50, Avenue 52, and Polo Road.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-83) The 2016 festival was held on April 15–17 and 22–24, and was headlined by a reunited [LCD Soundsystem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_Soundsystem "LCD Soundsystem"), a reunited [Guns N' Roses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses "Guns N' Roses") (with original members [Axl Rose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axl_Rose "Axl Rose"), [Slash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_\(musician\) "Slash (musician)"), and [Duff McKagan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff_McKagan "Duff McKagan")), and [Calvin Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Harris "Calvin Harris"). [Ice Cube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cube "Ice Cube")'s appearance featured a reunion of [N.W.A.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N.W.A. "N.W.A."), while Guns N' Roses' first weekend performance featured a guest appearance from [Angus Young](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Young "Angus Young") of AC/DC, who headlined the previous year; the cameo occurred the same day that Rose was announced as the new singer for AC/DC. Weekend two was marked by several tributes to Prince, the 2008 headliner who died just prior to the weekend's shows. The festival sold 198,000 tickets and grossed \$94.2 million.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-16stats-84)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-85)
In January 2017, reports circulated that AEG owner [Philip Anschutz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Anschutz "Philip Anschutz") had donated to many right-wing causes, including organizations promoting [LGBTQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ "LGBTQ") discrimination and [climate change denial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_denial "Climate change denial").[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-86) The news led to calls for fans to boycott the festival.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-87) Anschutz decried the controversy as "fake news", saying he would never knowingly contribute to an anti-LGBTQ organization and would cease donations to any such group of which he became aware.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-88)
The 2017 edition of Coachella took place from April 14–16 and April 21–23, and featured Radiohead, [Lady Gaga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga "Lady Gaga"), and [Kendrick Lamar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendrick_Lamar "Kendrick Lamar") as headlining artists.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-89) Beyoncé was originally announced as a headliner but was forced to withdraw at the advice of her doctors after she became pregnant; she announced that she would instead headline the 2018 festival.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-90)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-91) Tickets sold out within a few hours of going on sale.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-92) The event saw the debut of the new daytime-only Sonora tent.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-93) The 2017 festival drew 250,000 attendees and grossed \$114.6 million,[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-17stats-94) marking the first time a recurring festival grossed over \$100 million.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-95) Between the two weekends of Coachella, scenes for the film *[A Star Is Born](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Star_Is_Born_\(2018_film\) "A Star Is Born (2018 film)")*, starring Lady Gaga and [Bradley Cooper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Cooper "Bradley Cooper"), were filmed on the festival grounds.[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-96)

The main stage in 2018
The 2018 festival featured headlining performances from [the Weeknd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weeknd "The Weeknd"), [Beyoncé](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyonc%C3%A9 "Beyoncé"), and [Eminem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem "Eminem"). Making up for her cancellation the previous year, Beyoncé became the first African-American woman to headline the festival. Her performances paid tribute to the culture of [historically Black colleges and universities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_black_colleges_and_universities "Historically black colleges and universities"),[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-97) featuring a full marching band and [majorette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorette "Majorette") dancers,[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:1-98) while incorporating various aspects of [Black Greek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pan-Hellenic_Council "National Pan-Hellenic Council") life, such as a [step show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_show "Step show") along with strolling by pledges. The performance featured on-stage appearances by fellow [Destiny's Child](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny%27s_Child "Destiny's Child") members [Kelly Rowland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Rowland "Kelly Rowland") and [Michelle Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Williams_\(singer\) "Michelle Williams (singer)") as well as Beyonce's sister [Solange Knowles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solange_Knowles "Solange Knowles").[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-99) The performances received immediate, widespread praise,[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-100)[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-nyt-beyonce-rev-101)[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-102) and were described by many media outlets as historic.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-103)[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-104)[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-105) *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* music critic [Jon Caramanica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Caramanica "Jon Caramanica") wrote, "There's not likely to be a more meaningful, absorbing, forceful and radical performance by an American musician this year, or any year soon, than Beyoncé's headlining set".[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-nyt-beyonce-rev-101) Her performance garnered 458,000 simultaneous viewers on [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") to become the festival's most viewed performance, and the entire festival had 41 million total viewers, making it the most livestreamed event ever.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-106)[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-107) The performances were captured for a concert film, *[Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming:_A_Film_by_Beyonc%C3%A9 "Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé")*, and a live album, *[Homecoming: The Live Album](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming:_The_Live_Album "Homecoming: The Live Album")*, released in April 2019.
A report in *[Teen Vogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Vogue "Teen Vogue")* described "rampant" sexual harassment and assault at the 2018 festival, and the author said she was groped 22 times in 10 hours.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-108) In response, Goldenvoice announced a new initiative in January 2019 called "Every One", which comprises "fan resources and policies" to combat sexual misconduct and improve the festival's responses to such behavior. "Safety ambassadors" were made available to direct attendees to professional counselors, and specially marked locations were added for attendees to seek services or report incidents of sexual misconduct. One of the program's goals stated, "We are taking deliberate steps to develop a festival culture that is safe and inclusive for everyone".[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-109)
Coachella celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019. Taking place from April 12–14 and 19–21, the festival was headlined by [Childish Gambino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childish_Gambino "Childish Gambino"), [Tame Impala](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tame_Impala "Tame Impala"), and [Ariana Grande](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariana_Grande "Ariana Grande").[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-110)[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-111) At 25 years old, Grande became the youngest artist to headline the festival and just its fourth female headliner.[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-112) The festival was beset with several challenges. [Justin Timberlake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake "Justin Timberlake") was reportedly slated to headline but had to cancel after bruising his vocal cords.[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-113) Goldenvoice was also forced to abandon plans for [Kanye West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West "Kanye West") to headline, as they could not accommodate his request to build a giant dome for his performance in the middle of the festival grounds. West was instead allowed to hold the first public "[Sunday Service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Service_\(group\) "Sunday Service (group)")" performance on Easter on April 21 at the venue's campgrounds.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-114) West and a gospel choir performed an approximately 33-song set list of his songs as well as classic R\&B and gospel covers.[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cons-115) The first weekend of the festival suffered audio technical difficulties with several high-profile performances.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-116) The following weekend, *[The Daily Beast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Beast "The Daily Beast")* published a report of the alleged "inhumane treatment" of the festival's security guards. The workers cited poor tent conditions, insufficient food and water, long hours in the harsh sun, minimum wages, and poor communication and coordination between the organizers and the subcontracting security firms.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-117)
### 2020–present
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=9 "Edit section: 2020–present")\]
The 2020 festival was originally scheduled to take place on April 10–12 and April 17–19 with [Rage Against the Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_Against_the_Machine "Rage Against the Machine"), [Travis Scott](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Scott "Travis Scott"), and [Frank Ocean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Ocean "Frank Ocean") as the headlining acts.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-118)[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-119) Due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States "COVID-19 pandemic in the United States"), the festival was initially postponed until October 9–11 and October 16–18,[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-postponement-3) but in June, Riverside County public health officers announced it and Stagecoach had been cancelled altogether due to a ban on public gatherings, as well as [lockdowns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns "COVID-19 lockdowns") and [travel restrictions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic "Travel during the COVID-19 pandemic").[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-coachella2020-120) On April 10, a documentary profiling the festival's 20-year history, *Coachella: 20 Years in the Desert*, was released on [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") to coincide with the original start date of the 2020 event.[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-121) The 2021 festival was also cancelled as a result of [pandemic restrictions in California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_California "COVID-19 pandemic in California") and the threats of the [COVID-19 variants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variants_of_SARS-CoV-2 "Variants of SARS-CoV-2").[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-122)
Coachella returned in 2022 on April 15–17 and April 22–24.[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-123) The headlining lineup initially comprised [Harry Styles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Styles "Harry Styles"), [Billie Eilish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Eilish "Billie Eilish"), [Kanye West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West "Kanye West"), and [Swedish House Mafia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_House_Mafia "Swedish House Mafia").[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-124) Less than two weeks before the festival, West withdrew. The vacancy in the Sunday night headliner slot was filled by Swedish House Mafia – who previously had not been scheduled for a specific day – for a joint performance with [the Weeknd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weeknd "The Weeknd").[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-125) While not advertised as a headlining act, [Arcade Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire "Arcade Fire") was added to the official 2022 schedule on April 14, a day before the festival's first weekend.[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-126)

[Blackpink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpink "Blackpink") became the first Asian act to headline Coachella in 2023
The 2023 edition of Coachella, which took place from April 14–16 and April 21–23, was also beset with last-minute lineup changes. The originally announced headliners were [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny"), [Blackpink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpink "Blackpink"), and [Frank Ocean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Ocean "Frank Ocean"); the former two were Coachella's first Latin and Asian headliners, respectively.[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-127) In the days leading up to the first weekend, Ocean suffered leg injuries from an alleged bicycle accident on the festival grounds. The production for his performance was then scaled down extensively;[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-128) plans to utilize an ice rink with over 100 skaters were scrapped at the last minute,[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-129) forcing festival crew to hurriedly melt the ice surface.[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-130) Ocean began his performance an hour late, and after exceeding the festival curfew by 25 minutes, he abruptly ended his show.[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-131) He subsequently withdrew from the second weekend, citing recommendations from his doctor. [Blink-182](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182 "Blink-182"), which reunited its classic lineup and had been added to the festival two days before it began,[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-132) was promoted to fill the second weekend's headlining vacancy on Sunday night.[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-133) After they performed, the trio of DJs [Skrillex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrillex "Skrillex"), [Four Tet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Tet "Four Tet"), and [Fred Again](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Again "Fred Again") – all of whom were added to the lineup the day before the second weekend began – concluded the festival.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-134) According to reports, Goldenvoice will incur more than \$4 million in losses from the production costs associated with Ocean's unused ice rink, more than his booking fee for the performance. The promoters were also fined \$133,000 for curfew violations from the opening weekend.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-135)
The [2024 edition of the festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_2024 "Coachella 2024") featured headliners [Lana Del Rey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Del_Rey "Lana Del Rey"), [Tyler, the Creator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler,_the_Creator "Tyler, the Creator"), and [Doja Cat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doja_Cat "Doja Cat") plus a reunion by [No Doubt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Doubt "No Doubt"), their first shows together since 2015.[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-136) It took nearly a month for the first weekend of Coachella to sell out, whereas it normally sells out within a week.[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-137)
The movie *[The Idea of You](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Idea_of_You "The Idea of You")* released in spring of 2024 prominently features Coachella.[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-138)
[Coachella 2025](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_2025 "Coachella 2025") featured headline performances from [Lady Gaga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga "Lady Gaga"), who previously headlined in 2017, [Green Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day "Green Day"), and [Post Malone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Malone "Post Malone"). [Travis Scott](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Scott "Travis Scott"), who was not initially attached to a specific day, is also given headline billing and performed after Green Day on the Saturday shows. Gaga became just the second woman to headline Coachella twice, following [Björk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk "Björk"). [Her show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayhem_promotional_concerts "Mayhem promotional concerts") received critical acclaim and was described by several media outlets as "an all-timer experience" and one "for the history books", with the singer being called a "once-in-a-generation" performer.[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-139)[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-140)[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-141)[\[142\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-142) Green Day and Post Malone made their Coachella headlining debuts, while Scott headlined after previously being scheduled at the cancelled 2020 edition of the festival.[\[143\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-143) On April 12, 2025, [Los Angeles Philharmonic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Philharmonic "Los Angeles Philharmonic"), conducted by [Gustavo Dudamel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Dudamel "Gustavo Dudamel"), became the first major orchestra to perform at Coachella.[\[144\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-144)

Coachella takes place in [Indio, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indio,_California "Indio, California"), located in the [Inland Empire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Empire "Inland Empire") region's [Coachella Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley "Coachella Valley") within the [Colorado Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Desert "Colorado Desert"). Temperatures during the festival's history have ranged from 43 [°F](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit "Fahrenheit") (6 [°C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius "Celsius")) on April 14, 2012, to 106 [°F](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit "Fahrenheit") (41 [°C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius "Celsius")) on April 21, 2012.[\[145\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-145) The festival is hosted at the 78-acre [Empire Polo Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Polo_Club "Empire Polo Club");[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-youtube-146) when accounting for land used for parking and camping, the event covers a footprint of approximately 642 acres.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2017changes-pe-147) The site is about 125 miles (200 km) east of [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sweetmusic-52)
During the festival, several stages continuously host live music. Two outdoor stages are used, along with several tents named after deserts.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) The primary stages that have been in use since Coachella's inception are:
- **Coachella Stage** – the main stage that draws the largest crowds. This outdoor stage is where the headlining acts perform.
- **Outdoor Theatre** – a smaller outdoor stage adjacent to the Coachella Stage
- **Mojave** – a mid-size tent[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149) named after the [Mojave Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Desert "Mojave Desert") that hosts acts across multiple genres and varying stages of development.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) In 2017, it was moved behind an access road. A year later, it received further changes, as it was enlarged and moved again, this time to the Sahara's previous spot near the rose garden.[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149)
- **Gobi** – a mid-size tent named after the [Gobi Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobi_Desert "Gobi Desert") that hosts acts across multiple genres and varying stages of development.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) Like the Mojave, it was moved behind an access road in 2017.[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149)
- **Sahara** – a large, [hangar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangar "Hangar")\-like tent named after the [Sahara Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_Desert "Sahara Desert"). It generally hosts the top [electronic dance music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music") acts.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) In 2013, the tent was expanded in size, reaching a height of 80 feet. Further changes were made in 2018, as it was built 25 percent larger and relocated west from the row of tents near the Empire Polo Club's rose garden to a spot on the Eldorado Polo Club near the festival entrance. The new location offers more shade and alleviates issues with foot traffic.[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149)[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-pe-150) The stage was also moved from one of the open ends of the structure to one of its sides, allowing a wider field of view to attendees.[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-pe-150)
Additional performance areas have been added over time, including:
- **Yuma** – a small indoor tent introduced in 2013[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yuma-latimes-151) that primarily hosts emerging [DJs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_jockey "Disc jockey").[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) The tent was intended to be "a sophisticated space that dials down the noise and strobe lights in favor of thoughtful sounds and underground acts".[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yuma-latimes-151)
- **Sonora** – a small indoor tent introduced in 2017 to host [punk rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock "Punk rock") and [Latin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_music "Latin music") acts[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148)
- **Heineken House** – a small venue introduced in 2014. It was dedicated to "legendary musical performances" and "live mash-ups from a wide array of musical artists".[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mw-heineken-152) Originally designed as a walled structure to provide a club-like atmosphere, it was redesigned in 2019 to feature an open beer garden layout with a slanted roof, eliminating the long waiting lines and giving more visibility to attendees.[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-153)
- **Despacio** – a small indoor tent used in 2016. Co-created by [James Murphy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Murphy_\(electronic_musician\) "James Murphy (electronic musician)") of [LCD Soundsystem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_Soundsystem "LCD Soundsystem"), the venue played "slow-simmering disco and vintage club music" on [vinyl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph_record "Phonograph record") with the intention of creating a joyful setting. It featured a 50,000 watt sound system and air conditioning.[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-154)[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-155)
- **Antarctic** – an indoor dome introduced in 2017 to screen [360-degree immersive videos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360-degree_video "360-degree video"). The structure is 120 feet in diameter, features 11,000 square feet in projection space and air conditioning, and can seat 500 people. [Obscura Digital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscura_Digital "Obscura Digital") produced the film shown in 2017.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148)[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-hp-19-156)
- **Oasis Dome** – Used in 2006 and 2011
- **Quasar** – An outdoor stage introduced in 2024 for long format DJ sets.
## Art
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=11 "Edit section: Art")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coachella_2014_Lightweaver_and_Escape_Velocity.jpg)
Two art installations from Coachella 2014: Lightweaver and Escape Velocity. The latter piece was one of several giant moving art installations designed by Poetic Kinetics for past Coachella festivals.
In addition to hosting live music, Coachella is a showcase for [visual arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_arts "Visual arts"), including [installation art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installation_art "Installation art") and [sculpture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture "Sculpture"). Many of the pieces are [interactive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_art "Interactive art"), providing a visual treat for attendees.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-natlconvo-157) Throughout the years, the art has grown in scale and outrageousness.[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-behindart-158) Paul Clemente, Coachella's art director since 2009,[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-campart-159) said, "I think the level of detail and finish and artistry and scale and complexity and technology, everything is constantly getting notched up, ratcheted up. We're obviously constantly trying to, for lack of a better word, outdo ourselves and make it better for the fans."[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-behindart-158)
In Coachella's early years, art was mostly recycled from the previous year's [Burning Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Man "Burning Man") festival, due to smaller budgets.[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-campart-159) Between 2010 and 2015, Goldenvoice shifted its focus from renting pieces to commissioning them specifically for the festival, increasing their budget. Artists are given access to the grounds just 10 days before the festival, giving them a tight timeframe in which to assemble their pieces.[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-behindart-158) Due to the high cost of re-assembly, only about half of them appear again outside of Coachella.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-natlconvo-157) Describing the festival's importance to art, Cynthia Washburn of art collective Poetic Kinetics said, "With all the exposure here, I think Coachella is becoming as attractive for artists as it is for the musicians."[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-beyondsnail-160) In 2013, Clemente considered about 300 art proposals, the most in the festival's history for the time.[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-beyondsnail-160) Poetic Kinetics has designed several giant moving art installations for past Coachella festivals, including a snail in 2013 ("Helix Poeticus"), an astronaut in 2014 ("Escape Velocity"), and a caterpillar that "metamorphosized" into a butterfly in 2015 ("Papilio Merraculous").[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-161) The collective reprised the astronaut for the 2019 festival ("Overview Effect"), with weathering affects applied to the design.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-162)
Some of the works have been featured at [Art Basel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Basel "Art Basel"), and involved participants from architecture schools, both local and international. A few of the visual artists, such as Hotshot the Robot, [Robochrist Industries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robochrist_Industries "Robochrist Industries"), the Tesla Coil (Cauac), [Cyclecide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclecide "Cyclecide"), and The Do LaB, alongside avant-garde performance troupe [Lucent Dossier Experience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucent_Dossier_Experience "Lucent Dossier Experience"), have appeared for several consecutive years.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Poster artist [Emek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emek_\(designer\) "Emek (designer)") has produced limited edition posters every year since 2007.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
## Organization
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=12 "Edit section: Organization")\]
As the host city to Coachella and the [Stagecoach Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_Festival "Stagecoach Festival"), Indio provides several services such as police and fire protection, private security, medical services, outside law enforcement, and city staff services. These services for the three weekends of festivals totaled \$2.77 million in 2012.[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indio-gv-163) All public safety needs are coordinated by Indio's police department, requiring them to liaise with nearly 12 agencies, including police departments from nearby cities, the [sheriff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheriff "Sheriff")'s department, [California Highway Patrol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Highway_Patrol "California Highway Patrol"), the [California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Department_of_Forestry_and_Fire_Protection "California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection"), [American Medical Response](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Medical_Response "American Medical Response"), and the [California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Department_of_Alcoholic_Beverage_Control "California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control").[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indio-gv-163) To avoid disturbing local residents, a [curfew](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curfew "Curfew") for music performances is enforced; since 2010, it has been 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, an hour later than the previous curfew,[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indio-gv-163) and midnight on Sunday nights.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollettspills-82) Per a 2013 agreement with the City of Indio, Goldenvoice must pay a fine of \$20,000 if it exceeds the curfew by five minutes, plus \$1,000 for each additional minute beyond that. The fines benefit the city's General Fund, which covers operating costs, public work services, and the police and fire departments.[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-164)
### Environmental sustainability
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=13 "Edit section: Environmental sustainability")\]

[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TRASHed_Coachella_2013_GI.jpg)
Coachella features [Global Inheritance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Inheritance "Global Inheritance")'s TRASHed :: Art of Recycling campaign, in which artists from across the US design recycling bins.
Organizers of Coachella manage its [carbon footprint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint "Carbon footprint") by partnering with the organization [Global Inheritance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Inheritance "Global Inheritance") to promote several environmentally friendly initiatives. Global Inheritance's original project was its "TRASHed :: Art of Recycling" campaign, which challenges local artists to design and decorate recycling bins that are placed across the festival grounds.[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sustaingame-165) Another program is "Carpoolchella"; launched in 2007,[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sustaingame-165) it rewards festivalgoers who [carpool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpool "Carpool") in groups of four or more and display the word "Carpoolchella" on their cars by entering them in a drawing to win VIP tickets for life.[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-166) Through the 2014 festival, the program had 140,000 participants and more than 70 winners of lifetime festival passes.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-167) In 2007, Coachella teamed up with Global Inheritance to start a 10-for-1 recycling program, in which anyone who collects ten empty water bottles receives a free full one. In 2009, the festival introduced \$10 refillable water bottles, which purchasers could refill at water stations inside the festival and within the campgrounds.[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-168) Other programs used at the festival include [solar powered](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power "Solar power") DJ booths and [seesaws](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw "Seesaw") used to charge mobile phones.[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sustaingame-165)
About 600 staffers are required to collect the litter that accumulates during the festival. Resources are sorted individually on site before being taken to local landfills and recycling centers. Goldenvoice maintains a goal to "divert 90 percent of \[its\] recyclable and compostable materials". In 2013, staff diverted over 577,720,000 pounds of materials, comprising 36,860 tons of aluminum cans, 105,000 tons of cardboard, 65,360 tons of PET plastic, 47,040 tons of scrap metal, and 34,600 tons of glass.[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-169)
### Camping
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=14 "Edit section: Camping")\]
In 2003, Coachella began allowing tent camping as an option for festival lodging. The campground site is on a polo field adjacent to the venue grounds and has its own entrance on the south side of the venue. 2010 introduced many new features, such as re-entry from the campsite to the festival grounds, parking next to your tent, and [recreational vehicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle "Recreational vehicle") camping spots ([recreational vehicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle "Recreational vehicle") camping was offered one year only). For that festival, there were more than 17,000 campers. At the 2012 event, on-site facilities included recycling, a general store, showers, mobile phone charging stations and an internet cafe with free WiFi.[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-170)
## Talent booking
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=15 "Edit section: Talent booking")\]
Tollett begins to book artists for each festival as early as the previous August. In addition to agent pitches and artists discovered online, the lineup is culled from acts booked by Goldenvoice for their other 1,800 shows each year. Tollett uses the promoter's ticketing figures for insight into whom to book, saying: "There are AEG shows all across the country, and I see all their show lists and ticket counts. So I see little things that are happening maybe before some others, because they don't have that data."[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cooltoalist-171) The booking process takes approximately six months.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) According to the *[Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times")*, booking fees for most artists playing the festival allegedly start at \$15,000 and extend into the "high six figures." Top-billed artists for 2010 were expected to receive over \$1 million.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-lat-hiddencosts-172) *[Billboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_\(magazine\) "Billboard (magazine)")*'s sources estimated that non-headline acts can earn anywhere from \$500 to \$100,000.[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cooltoalist-171) According to a 2017 profile on Tollett in *[The New Yorker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker "The New Yorker")*, that year's headlining performers received \$3–4 million.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) Beyoncé's 2018 performances and Ariana Grande's 2019 performances reportedly garnered them each \$8 million.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-173)
In booking the festival, Goldenvoice uses [radius clauses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_clause "Radius clause") that can prevent acts from performing in the vicinity of Coachella for a certain amount of time before and after the festival. The promoter has allowed some of Coachella's acts to make appearances in the region prior to the festival and between weekends, but only at events and venues owned or controlled by Goldenvoice's parent company AEG; one such example was [Jay-Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z "Jay-Z")'s concert at Staples Center in 2010.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-lat-hiddencosts-172)[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-kpcc-bendrules-174)[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-npr-coachella-175) Goldenvoice now promotes these events, dubbed "Localchella", as a series of small warm-up shows for Coachella in Southern California.[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-176)[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-177) In May 2018, AEG and its subsidiaries were sued by the Oregon-based Soul'D Out Festival for [anti-competitive practices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-competitive_practices "Anti-competitive practices") related to Coachella's radius clause. As part of the lawsuit, the clause's details were revealed. They stipulate that any artist performing at Coachella:[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-178)[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-brand-protect-179)
- Cannot perform at any other North American festival from December 15 to May 1.
- Cannot play any hard ticket shows in Southern California from December 15 to May 1.
- Cannot "advertise, publicize or leak" performances for competing festivals in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, or Arizona, or headlining performances in Southern California taking place after May 1 until after May 7.
- Cannot announce festival appearances for the other 45 US states until after the January announcement of Coachella's lineup, except for [South by Southwest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_by_Southwest "South by Southwest"), [Ultra Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Music_Festival "Ultra Music Festival"), and the [New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Jazz_%26_Heritage_Festival "New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival").
- Cannot publicize concerts in California, Arizona, Washington, or Oregon until after the January announcement of Coachella's lineup, except for performances in Las Vegas casinos.
Goldenvoice attempts to release the lineup poster as close to [New Year's Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year%27s_Day "New Year's Day") as possible, so that Coachella is the first major festival of the year to announce its lineup. This gives the promoter a competitive advantage over other festivals, many of which end up sharing headliners by the time they are all announced.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) The Coachella lineup poster lists its music artists across several lines in gradually decreasing [font sizes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_\(typography\) "Point (typography)") in descending order of prominence. The line on which an artist's name appears as well as their font size is a contentious topic between Goldenvoice and talent agents, as placement on the poster will often dictate an artist's future booking fee. Tollett said, "We have so many arguments over font sizes. I literally have *[gone to the mat](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/go_to_the_mat#English "wikt:go to the mat")* over one point size."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
## Promotion and commercial partnerships
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=16 "Edit section: Promotion and commercial partnerships")\]
Organizers were initially resistant to accepting sponsorship deals that would help Coachella turn a higher profit. In 2003, Tollett estimated that Goldenvoice could earn an additional \$300,000 to \$500,000 by adding a corporate sponsor to the festival name, but he did not want to violate the purity of the event. He said, "I hate it when you go to shows and you are bombarded with all this advertising. It just shows a lack of respect for your audience and the music."[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23) Organizers have relaxed their opposition over the years. Brewing company [Heineken N.V.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heineken_N.V. "Heineken N.V.") has maintained a sponsorship with Coachella since 2002, and is the "official brew" of the festival.[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-180) The company has sponsored a small performance venue at the festival called the "Heineken House" since 2014, where attendees can drink [Heineken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heineken "Heineken") beers and keep their cases of Heineken refrigerated.[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mw-heineken-152) Clothing retailer [H\&M](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%26M "H&M") added a small sponsored tent on the festival grounds in 2015,[\[181\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-181) where attendees could purchase items from the company's Coachella-inspired clothing line called "H\&M Loves Coachella".[\[182\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-182) Information technology company [HP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc. "HP Inc.") has sponsored the Antarctic dome since 2017,[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-hp-19-156) in addition to hosting a promotional tent.[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-variety-hp-183) HP's promotions included allowing attendees to design and print bandanas and tote bags, capture [light drawing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_drawing "Light drawing") [GIFs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF "GIF"), design kaleidoscopes, and interact with a motion-reactive wall.[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-hp-19-156)[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-variety-hp-183) Tollett still objects to having the primary stages and tents sponsored: "I wouldn't let sponsors' logos on the stages. I feel like when the band is playing it should be you and the band, and it's a sacred moment."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
Since 2011, [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") has [live streamed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") performances from Coachella.[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yt-stream-23-bb-184) Initially, the first weekend was streamed across three separate channels.[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-youtube-146)[\[185\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-185) In 2014, [AXS TV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AXS_TV "AXS TV") began broadcasting the second weekend on television;[\[186\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-186) over 20 hours of live performances from the 2015 festival were broadcast on AXS TV.[\[187\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-187) Performances from the 2015 festival were also broadcast live on [Sirius XM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_XM "Sirius XM") satellite radio for the first time.[\[188\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-188) In 2019, YouTube expanded its content for the festival livestream, which included a stream of both weekends of the festival for the first time. Weekend one included a premiere of [Donald Glover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Glover "Donald Glover")'s film *[Guava Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guava_Island "Guava Island")*, while weekend two featured *Coachella Curated*, programming hosted by radio personality [Jason Bentley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Bentley "Jason Bentley") that took "a deep dive into the festival experience" by offering "encore and live performances, artist commentary, mini-docs, animated adventures and more".[\[189\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-189) *Coachella Curated* was reprised for the 2022 festival's second weekend.[\[190\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-190) In 2023, Coachella's streaming agreement with YouTube was renewed through 2026,[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yt-stream-23-bb-184) and for the first time, performances from all six stages were streamed, covering both weekends.[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-191)
For 2016, organizers partnered with Vantage.tv to offer [virtual reality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality "Virtual reality") (VR) content for the festival. Ticket holders received a cardboard [VR viewer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_headset "Virtual reality headset") inspired by [Google Cardboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cardboard "Google Cardboard") in their Coachella welcome package that could be used with the Coachella VR [mobile app](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_app "Mobile app") (which was released on [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_\(operating_system\) "Android (operating system)"), [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS"), and [Samsung Gear VR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Gear_VR "Samsung Gear VR")). Content included 360-degree panoramic photos of previous events, virtual tours of the 2016 festival site, interviews, and performances.[\[192\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-192) That same year, YouTube live streamed performances from weekend two in 360 degrees for viewing with VR headsets.[\[193\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-193)
The success of Coachella has led its organizers to partner with other American music festivals. In 2003, Goldenvoice agreed to work with the organizers of Field Day, a New York-based festival modeled after Coachella, to help promote and produce the event,[\[194\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-194) although the show was completely overhauled from its original vision.[\[195\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-195) In September 2014, Goldenvoice announced it had entered into a joint venture with Red Frog Events to help them promote and produce their [Firefly Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_Music_Festival "Firefly Music Festival").[\[196\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-196) In January 2015, a similar agreement was reached with the organizers of the [Hangout Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangout_Music_Festival "Hangout Music Festival").[\[197\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-197)
Goldenvoice claimed it spent \$700,000 in 2015 on "media and related content to promote Coachella".[\[198\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-198)
### Brand protection
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=17 "Edit section: Brand protection")\]
Goldenvoice has actively protected the Coachella [brand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand "Brand"). As of April 2018, they filed six lawsuits in the previous two years against outlets that attempted to use the Coachella name or the suffix "chella". The [defendants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defendant "Defendant") included the music festival Hoodchella; the film festival Filmchella; energy company [Phillips 66](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_66 "Phillips 66"), which promoted a Coachella wristband giveaway that the festival's terms of services disallows; [Sean Combs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Combs "Sean Combs")'s event "Combschella"; [Urban Outfitters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Outfitters "Urban Outfitters"); and a [Whole Foods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Foods_Market "Whole Foods Market") location in [Palm Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Desert,_California "Palm Desert, California") that promoted a "Wholechella" concert and tasting event. Another lawsuit was filed in September 2021 against radio presenter RaaShaun Casey (also known as DJ Envy) for his hip hop and auto show "Carchella", which he agreed to rename to "DJ Envy's Drive Your Dreams Car Show".[\[199\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-199)[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-200) According to Goldenvoice's attorneys in one lawsuit, the litigation is one way the promoter attempts to "extensively police unauthorized use of the Coachella Marks". Although the Coachella name has been in use by [a town in the Coachella Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California "Coachella, California") since before the festival was founded, the festival's success has imbued the name with "[secondary meaning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_distinctiveness "Trademark distinctiveness")", allowing Goldenvoice to [trademark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark "Trademark") it.[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-brand-protect-179)
In December 2021, Coachella won a restraining order against [Live Nation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Nation "Live Nation")'s Coachella Day One 22 festival. A judge ruled that Live Nation is likely infringing trademarks by selling tickets to the event nearby.[\[201\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-201)
## Impact and legacy

Fans attend a performance by [Bassnectar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassnectar "Bassnectar") at the Sahara tent in 2013
According to a 2015 ranking by online ticket retailer [Viagogo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagogo "Viagogo"), Coachella was the second-most in-demand concert ticket, trailing only the [Tomorrowland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrowland_\(festival\) "Tomorrowland (festival)") festival.[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-viagogo-202)
Coachella is considered a trendsetter in music and fashion. Singer [Katy Perry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_Perry "Katy Perry") said, "The lineup always introduces the best of the year for the rest of the year."[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cooltoalist-171)
Coachella has become known for the variety of distinctive apparel worn by attendees, which primarily include eclectic combinations of colors, materials, and ethnic borrowings.[\[203\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-203) Some activists and journalists have criticized the latter as being [cultural appropriation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation "Cultural appropriation"), particularly non-natives wearing [Native American](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States "Native Americans in the United States")\-inspired [headdresses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_bonnet "War bonnet") and body paint.[\[204\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-204)[\[205\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-205)[\[206\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-206)
According to a 2012 economic impact study, Coachella brought \$254.4 million to the desert region that year;[\[207\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-207) of that total, Indio received \$89.2 million in [consumer spending](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_spending "Consumer spending") and \$1.4 million in tax revenue.[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-viagogo-202) Goldenvoice's other festival at the Empire Polo Club, Stagecoach, has been called a "cousin" of Coachella, but it has grown at a faster pace, eventually selling out for the first time in 2012 with 55,000 attendees.[\[208\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-208) Together, the two festivals were estimated by experts to have a global impact of \$704.75 million in 2016;[\[209\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-pe16-209) approximately \$403.2 million of that was expected to impact the Coachella Valley,[\[209\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-pe16-209) \$106 million of which would go to businesses in Indio.[\[210\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-16economicimpact-210) The city was expected to gain \$3.18 million in ticket taxes from the two festivals in 2016.[\[210\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-16economicimpact-210)
The success of Coachella led to Goldenvoice holding additional music festivals at the Empire Polo Club. It founded the country music festival Stagecoach in 2007 and continues to hold it on an annual basis. In 2011, the promoter staged the Big 4 festival, so-named for its quadruple billing of the most prominent bands in [thrash metal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrash_metal "Thrash metal")—[Anthrax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax_\(American_band\) "Anthrax (American band)"), [Megadeth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megadeth "Megadeth"), [Metallica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica "Metallica"), and [Slayer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer "Slayer").[\[211\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-211) In 2016, Goldenvoice staged [Desert Trip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Trip "Desert Trip"), which featured older rock oriented and legacy acts such as [the Rolling Stones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones "The Rolling Stones"), [Paul McCartney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney "Paul McCartney"), and [Bob Dylan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan "Bob Dylan").[\[212\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-212)

**Coachella** (officially called the **Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival** and sometimes known as **Coachella Festival**) is an annual [music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_festival "Music festival") and [arts festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_festival "Arts festival") held at the [Empire Polo Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Polo_Club "Empire Polo Club") in [Indio, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indio,_California "Indio, California"), in the [Coachella Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley "Coachella Valley") in the [Colorado Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Desert "Colorado Desert"). It was co-founded by [Paul Tollett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tollett "Paul Tollett") and Rick Van Santen in 1999, and is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of [AEG Presents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group "Anschutz Entertainment Group").[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-santen-obit-2) The event features musical artists from many [genres of music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre "Music genre"), including [rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_music "Rock music"), [pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music "Pop music"), [indie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_music "Independent music"), [hip hop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music "Hip hop music") and [electronic dance music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music"), as well as [art installations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installation_art "Installation art") and [sculptures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture "Sculpture"). Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music.
The festival's origins trace back to a 1993 concert that [Pearl Jam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam "Pearl Jam") performed at the Empire Polo Club while boycotting venues controlled by [Ticketmaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticketmaster "Ticketmaster"). The show validated the site's viability for hosting large events, leading to the inaugural Coachella Festival being held over the course of two days in October 1999, three months after [Woodstock '99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_1999 "Woodstock 1999"). After no event was held in 2000, Coachella returned on an annual basis beginning in April 2001 as a single-day event. In 2002, the festival reverted to a two-day format. Coachella was expanded to a third day in 2007 and eventually a second weekend in 2012; it is now held on consecutive three-day weekends in April, with the same lineup each weekend. Organizers began permitting spectators to camp on the grounds in 2003, one of several expansions and additions in the festival's history. The festival was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-postponement-3)
Coachella showcases popular and established musical artists as well as emerging artists and reunited groups. It is one of the largest, most famous, and most profitable music festivals in the United States and the world.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-5) Each Coachella staged from 2013 to 2015 set new records for festival attendance and gross revenues. The 2017 festival was attended by 250,000 people and grossed \$114.6 million. Coachella's success led to Goldenvoice establishing additional music festivals at the site, beginning with the annual [Stagecoach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_Festival "Stagecoach Festival") [country music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music "Country music") festival in 2007.
> Even before we looked at \[Empire Polo Club\], it hit us. We wanted it to be far. So you surrender. So you can't leave your house and see a couple bands and be back home that night. We want you to go out there, get tired, and curse the show by Sunday afternoon. That sunset, and that whole feeling of Coachella hits you.
—Coachella co-founder Paul Tollett, describing the rationale behind the festival's location[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollett-6)

Tour"), American rock band [Pearl Jam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam "Pearl Jam") performed for almost 25,000 fans at the [Empire Polo Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Polo_Club "Empire Polo Club") in [Indio, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indio,_California "Indio, California").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-7) The site was selected because the band refused to play in Los Angeles as a result of a dispute with [Ticketmaster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticketmaster "Ticketmaster") over service charges applied to ticket purchases.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) The show established the polo club's suitability for large-scale events; [Paul Tollett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tollett "Paul Tollett"), whose concert promotion company Goldenvoice booked the venue for Pearl Jam, said the concert sowed the seeds for an eventual [music festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_festival "Music festival") there.[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollett-6)
Around 1997, Goldenvoice was struggling to book concerts against larger companies, and they were unable to offer guarantees as high as their competitors, such as [SFX Entertainment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFX_Entertainment "SFX Entertainment"). Tollett said, "We were getting our ass kicked financially. We were losing a lot of bands. And we couldn't compete with the money."[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:0-10) As a result, the idea of a music festival was conceived, and Tollett began to brainstorm ideas for one with multiple venues. His intent was to book trendy artists who were not necessarily chart successes: "Maybe if you put a bunch of them together, that might be a magnet for a lot of people."[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8) While attending the 1997 [Glastonbury Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival "Glastonbury Festival"), Tollett handed out pamphlets to artists and talent managers that featured pictures of the Empire Polo Club and pitched a possible festival there. In contrast to the frequently muddy conditions at Glastonbury caused by rain, he recalled, "We had this pamphlet... showing sunny Coachella. Everyone was laughing."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
After scouting several sites for their festival,[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollett-6) Tollett and Goldenvoice co-president Rick Van Santen returned to the Empire Polo Club during the Big Gig festival in 1998. Impressed by the location's suitability for a festival, they decided to book their event there.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8) The promoters had hoped to stage their inaugural festival in 1998 but were unable to until the following year.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) On July 16, 1999, Goldenvoice announced that the Indio City Council had approved the festival and would provide \$90,000 for services such as traffic control and public safety. The funds came with a guarantee of repayment from the promoter, as the city was keen to avoid incurring another loss; the previous year's Big Gig festival cost Indio \$16,000 due to last-minute changes to the lineup and poor attendance.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-11) The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was officially announced on July 28 with a preliminary lineup of 40 acts;[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-12) tickets went on sale on August 7.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-13)
Coachella's announcement came just one week after the conclusion of [Woodstock '99](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_%2799 "Woodstock '99"), a festival in July 1999 that was marred by looting, arson, violence, and rapes. Goldenvoice's insurance costs increased 40% as a result and the company faced uncertainty regarding Coachella's tickets.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-willtheycome-14) Organizers were already aiming to provide a "high-comfort festival experience" for Coachella but rededicated themselves to those efforts after Woodstock '99. Advertisements boasted free water fountains, ample restrooms, and misting tents.[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-willtheycome-14) Retrospectively, Tollett called the decision to announce a new festival just two months prior to staging it "financial suicide".[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
On October 9–10, 1999, the inaugural Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was held. Headlining the event were [Beck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck "Beck"), [Tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_\(band\) "Tool (band)"), and [Rage Against the Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_Against_the_Machine "Rage Against the Machine"); other acts included [the Chemical Brothers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chemical_Brothers "The Chemical Brothers"), [Morrissey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrissey "Morrissey"), [A Perfect Circle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Perfect_Circle "A Perfect Circle"), [Jurassic 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_5 "Jurassic 5") and [Underworld](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld_\(band\) "Underworld (band)"). Originally, promoters had hoped to make the event three days (Friday to Sunday) and even considered the UK group [Massive Attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_Attack "Massive Attack") as the third-day headliner.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-15) The organizers strove to recreate European music festivals with small crowds in a great setting with plenty of turntables.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rsreview99-16) By booking acts based on artistry rather than radio popularity, Coachella earned the title of "the anti-Woodstock".[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-Rolling_Stone-17)
Tickets sold for \$50 for each day; about 17,000 tickets sold for the first day, and 20,000 for the second,[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rsreview99-16) falling short of the overall attendance goal of 70,000.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-welloiled-18) Attendees were offered free parking and a free bottle of water upon entrance.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rsreview99-16) The event went smoothly, with the well-behaved crowd starkly contrasting with the violence that plagued Woodstock '99; the biggest challenges to Coachella concertgoers were temperatures exceeding 100 °F and the decisions of which of the 80-plus acts to attend.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-Rolling_Stone-17)[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-welloiled-18)[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-19) The festival was well regarded among attendees and critics; [Pollstar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollstar "Pollstar") named it festival of the year, and [Robert Hilburn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hilburn "Robert Hilburn") of the *[Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times")* said that it "laid the foundation for what someday may be a legacy of its own".[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2000cancel-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-21) However, Goldenvoice lost \$850,000 on the undertaking,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) forcing the promoter, in Tollett's words, to "struggle for almost two years to survive as a company".[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23) Prominent acts, including the headliners, agreed to receive [deferred compensation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_compensation "Deferred compensation").[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-businessweek-24)
Goldenvoice reserved tentative dates for October 2000 to reprise the festival,[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-25) but ultimately canceled for that year; Tollett blamed it on the oversaturation of music festivals in Southern California.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2000cancel-20) Instead, Goldenvoice partnered with promoter [Pasquale Rotella](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasquale_Rotella "Pasquale Rotella") to stage the [electronic dance music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music") festival [Nocturnal Wonderland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_Wonderland "Nocturnal Wonderland") at the Empire Polo Club in September 2000.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-1st-upend-26)[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-27)
Goldenvoice opted to bring Coachella back in April 2001 in an attempt to beat the heat.[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2000cancel-20)[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-28) Ticket prices were raised to \$65.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-29) Organizers encountered difficulty booking acts for the festival and due to "available talent", were forced to shorten the festival to a single day.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-30) Issues with securing a headliner threatened to doom the event until [Perry Farrell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Farrell "Perry Farrell") agreed to bring his reunited group [Jane's Addiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane%27s_Addiction "Jane's Addiction") to the proceedings.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-phont-31) Amidst financial concerns, Tollett agreed to sell Goldenvoice to [Anschutz Entertainment Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschutz_Entertainment_Group "Anschutz Entertainment Group") (AEG) in March 2001 for \$7 million.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-32) AEG, which had opened [Staples Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staples_Center "Staples Center") in Los Angeles two years prior, purchased the promoter to help them find shows to book. The corporation wanted Tollett to continue staging Coachella, understanding that it initially would lose money;[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) Tollett initially retained full control of Coachella as a result of the acquisition.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-phont-31)[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-33) Like its predecessor, the 2001 festival went smoothly;[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23) 32,000 people attended,[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-1st-upend-26) and despite taking a loss again, Tollett estimates it was a "low, low six-figure sum".[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23)
For its third outing, Coachella reverted to a two-day format and took place from April 27–28, 2002. Tollett said that the event was expanded to a second day after more acts began expressing interest in participating.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-021702-desertsun-34) With around 60 artists performing,[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-35) the festival featured headliners [Björk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk "Björk") and [Oasis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_\(band\) "Oasis (band)"), along with a reunion of [Siouxsie and the Banshees](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxsie_and_the_Banshees "Siouxsie and the Banshees").[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-36) Palm Desert natives [Queens of the Stone Age](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queens_of_the_Stone_Age "Queens of the Stone Age") became the first local band to play the festival.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) Multiple changes were made for that year: one less tent was used,[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-042802-desertsun-37) reducing the number of stages from five to four,[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-021702-desertsun-34) and a fence in the middle of the polo field was removed to increase the openness of the site.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-042802-desertsun-37) The strong supporting acts helped prove to the Indio community that the event could bring in money and take place without conflict. More than 55,000 people attended over the two days,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) and for the first time, the festival nearly broke even.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23)
The 2003 festival took place from April 26–27.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:0-10) Among the 82 acts booked by Goldenvoice were headliners [Red Hot Chili Peppers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers "Red Hot Chili Peppers") and [Beastie Boys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastie_Boys "Beastie Boys"), as well as a reunited [Iggy Pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iggy_Pop "Iggy Pop") and [the Stooges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stooges "The Stooges"). Performances were held on two outdoor stages and in three tents.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-38) Ticket prices remained \$75 per day, but were increased to \$140 for a two-day pass.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:0-10) For the first time, on-site camping was offered;[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-39) the Indio City Council approved overnight camping at the site, permitting up to four people on each of the 2,252 camping spots.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-40) The festival drew 60,000 people, the largest Coachella crowd to that point.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-03att-41) The festival began to develop worldwide interest and receive national renown.
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Radiohead_Coachella_2004.jpg)
Goldenvoice's Paul Tollett credits [Radiohead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiohead "Radiohead")'s appearance at the 2004 festival *(pictured)* with elevating the festival's stature.
In late December 2003, Van Santen died at the age of 41 from flu-related complications.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-santen-obit-2) With Tollett left, he sold half of Coachella to AEG in 2004, along with the controlling interest in the festival.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) The 2004 event featured a lineup of more than 80 acts,[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-latimes-2004-42) with [Radiohead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiohead "Radiohead") and [the Cure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure "The Cure") as headliners, along with a reunion of the [Pixies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixies_\(band\) "Pixies (band)"). It was Coachella's first sellout, drawing a two-day total of 110,000 people. For the first time, the festival attracted attendees from all 50 US states.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The event was critically acclaimed; Hilburn called it "the premier pop music festival in the country", while *[Rolling Stone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone "Rolling Stone")* labeled it "America's Best Music Festival". Tollett said that 2004 was the turning point for Coachella, and he credited booking Radiohead with elevating the festival's stature and interest among musicians. However, he also described that year's event as a missed opportunity, as he passed on a chance to expand it to a third day that could have featured [David Bowie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie "David Bowie") as a headliner.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-latimes-2004-42)
The 2005 event ran from April 30 to May 1 and featured [Coldplay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldplay "Coldplay") and Nine Inch Nails as headliners, along with a reunion of [Bauhaus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus_\(band\) "Bauhaus (band)"). A planned reunion of [Cocteau Twins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocteau_Twins "Cocteau Twins") was ultimately cancelled by the group.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-43) Approximately 50,000 people attended each day of the festival.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-05att-44)
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Daft_punk_at_coachella.jpg)
[Daft Punk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk "Daft Punk")'s performance at Coachella 2006 is frequently cited as one of the most memorable in the festival's history.
The 2006 event featured headliners [Depeche Mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode "Depeche Mode") and [Tool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_\(band\) "Tool (band)"). Two of the most popular performances were [Madonna](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna "Madonna"), who played in an overflowing dance tent, and [Daft Punk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk "Daft Punk"), whose show featuring a pyramid-shaped stage is cited as one of the most memorable performances in Coachella history.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) Around 120,000 concertgoers attended the event over two days,[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) garnering Goldenvoice a gross of \$9 million.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-06gross-45)

In 2007, Goldenvoice inaugurated the [Stagecoach Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_Festival "Stagecoach Festival"), an annual [country music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_music "Country music") festival that also takes place at the Empire Polo Club the weekend following Coachella. The new event helped avert complications with organizing Coachella; the polo club's owner Alex Haagen III had been planning to redevelop the land unless a new profitable event could be created to make a long-term lease with Goldenvoice financially feasible.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8) Along with the new festival's addition, Coachella was permanently extended to three days in 2007. The headlining acts were Red Hot Chili Peppers, the reunited Rage Against the Machine, and Björk, all of whom headlined for the second time. The festival compiled a three-day aggregate attendance of over 186,000, a new best, and grossed \$16.3 million.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-billboard09-46)
In 2008, Coachella did not sell out for the first time since 2003. It featured headliners [Prince](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_\(musician\) "Prince (musician)"), [Roger Waters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Waters "Roger Waters"), and [Jack Johnson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Johnson_\(musician\) "Jack Johnson (musician)"). Waters' [inflatable prop pig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd_pigs "Pink Floyd pigs") flew away during his set.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The 2008 festival drew an attendance of 151,666 and grossed \$13.8 million,[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-billboard09-46) but lost money, due to tickets not selling out and high booking fees paid for Prince and Roger Waters.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-desertmagician-8)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-businessweek-24)
The 2009 festival occurred a week earlier than usual. The new dates were April 17, 18 and 19. The event featured headliners [Paul McCartney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney "Paul McCartney"), [The Killers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killers "The Killers"), and [The Cure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure "The Cure"). On Friday, McCartney blew past the festival's strict curfew by 54 minutes.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) Sunday, The Cure had their performance end abruptly, with the festival cutting stage power after passing their own curfew by 30 minutes.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-47) Notable performances included [Franz Ferdinand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Ferdinand_\(band\) "Franz Ferdinand (band)"), M.I.A. (whose 2005 encore set in a tent was a first at the fest), [Yeah Yeah Yeahs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeah_Yeah_Yeahs "Yeah Yeah Yeahs"), and rare appearances from artists [Leonard Cohen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Cohen "Leonard Cohen"), [Dr. Dog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dog "Dr. Dog") and [Throbbing Gristle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbbing_Gristle "Throbbing Gristle"). The festival drew an aggregate attendance of 152,962 and grossed \$15,328,863.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-09stats-48)
Organizers eliminated single-day ticket sales for 2010, and instead instituted a new policy offering three-day tickets only,[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-49) which drew mixed reactions.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-50) Headliners included [Jay-Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z "Jay-Z"), [Muse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_\(band\) "Muse (band)") and [Gorillaz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillaz "Gorillaz"), and reunions of [Faith No More](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_No_More "Faith No More") and [Pavement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_\(band\) "Pavement (band)").[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-51) Despite Tollett's reservations about holding a festival in 2010 due to the economy,[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sweetmusic-52) Coachella drew 75,000 spectators each day that year, for an estimated aggregate attendance of 225,000, surpassing previous records.[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-10att-53) Thousands of fans broke through fences, leading to concerns about overcrowding.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The festival grossed \$21,703,500.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-10gross-54) International travel was [disrupted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_the_April_2010_Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull_eruption "Effects of the April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption") by the [eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull "2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull") in [Iceland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland "Iceland"), resulting in some European acts, such as [Frightened Rabbit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frightened_Rabbit "Frightened Rabbit"), [Gary Numan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Numan "Gary Numan") and [Delphic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphic_\(band\) "Delphic (band)"), canceling their appearances at the festival.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-eruption-55)
Prior to the 2011 festival, Goldenvoice made several investments and improvements locally to help support Coachella. In addition to funding an additional lane for Avenue 50, which borders the festival, the promoter cleared additional space on the polo grounds by leveling a 250,000-square-foot area and moving horse stables.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-56) Lighting and security were also enhanced to help the festival run more smoothly.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-timeline-22) The headliners for that year's event were [Kings of Leon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_of_Leon "Kings of Leon"), [Arcade Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire "Arcade Fire"), [Kanye West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West "Kanye West"), and [The Strokes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strokes "The Strokes"), along with another 190 supporting acts.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-57) The 2011 festival grossed \$24,993,698[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-11gross-58) from 75,000 paid attendees, for an aggregate attendance of 225,000 across the entire three-day weekend.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-11att-59)
On May 31, 2011, Goldenvoice announced that beginning with the 2012 festival, Coachella would be expanded to a second, separately-ticketed weekend, with identical lineups for each.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rs2weeks-60) Explaining the decision, Tollett said that demand for tickets was up in 2011 even after "operations weren't the best \[they've\] ever had" in 2010 and that he did not want to satisfy that demand by allowing additional attendees to overcrowd the venue.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-61) *Rolling Stone* called it a "very risky move" and said there was "no guarantee that demand \[would be\] high enough to sell out the same bill over two consecutive weekends".[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-rs2weeks-60) Nonetheless, 2012 tickets sold out in less than three hours.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2012sellout-62)

Prior to the 2013 festival, it was announced that Goldenvoice had reached a deal with the city of Indio to keep the Coachella and Stagecoach Festivals there through 2030.

The land, previously leased from Eldorado, will be used to provide more space for parking and general use for the festival.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-74) Tollett said the purchase was intended to "help \[Goldenvoice\] put in some infrastructure so \[they\] don't have to keep coming back and do the same things each year".[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-75)
The 2014 festival, held on April 11–13 and April 18–20, featured 184 artists.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ut2014-76) A reunited [Outkast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outkast "Outkast") headlined on Friday, [Muse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_\(band\) "Muse (band)") on Saturday, and [Arcade Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire "Arcade Fire") on Sunday.[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-77) General admission tickets sold out in less than 20 minutes, while all other tickets (including VIP tickets in excess of \$5,000) sold out in less than 3 hours.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] That year's festival featured 96,500 daily attendees and grossed a record-breaking \$78.332 million.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-14boxscore-78)[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-15boxscore-79) For the fourth consecutive year, Coachella was named the Top Festival at the [Billboard Touring Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Touring_Awards "Billboard Touring Awards").[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-15boxscore-79)

In March 2016, the Indio City Council passed a measure to raise the attendance cap for Coachella from 99,000 to 125,000, stipulating that the capacity would gradually be increased, giving the city time to accommodate the crowds. Goldenvoice increased the venue size by about 50 acres along Monroe Street, Avenue 50, Avenue 52, and Polo Road.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-83) The 2016 festival was held on April 15–17 and 22–24, and was headlined by a reunited [LCD Soundsystem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_Soundsystem "LCD Soundsystem"), a reunited [Guns N' Roses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N%27_Roses "Guns N' Roses") (with original members [Axl Rose](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axl_Rose "Axl Rose"), [Slash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_\(musician\) "Slash (musician)"), and [Duff McKagan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff_McKagan "Duff McKagan")), and [Calvin Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Harris "Calvin Harris").

Weekend two was marked by several tributes to Prince, the 2008 headliner who died just prior to the weekend's shows. The festival sold 198,000 tickets and grossed \$94.2 million.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-16stats-84)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-85)

The 2017 edition of Coachella took place from April 14–16 and April 21–23, and featured Radiohead, [Lady Gaga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga "Lady Gaga"), and [Kendrick Lamar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendrick_Lamar "Kendrick Lamar") as headlining artists.[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-89) Beyoncé was originally announced as a headliner but was forced to withdraw at the advice of her doctors after she became pregnant; she announced that she would instead headline the 2018 festival.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-90)[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-91) Tickets sold out within a few hours of going on sale.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-92) The event saw the debut of the new daytime-only Sonora tent.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-93) The 2017 festival drew 250,000 attendees and grossed \$114.6 million,[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-17stats-94) marking the first time a recurring festival grossed over \$100 million.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-95) Between the two weekends of Coachella, scenes for the film *[A Star Is Born](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Star_Is_Born_\(2018_film\) "A Star Is Born (2018 film)")*, starring Lady Gaga and [Bradley Cooper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Cooper "Bradley Cooper"), were filmed on the festival grounds.[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-96)

The 2018 festival featured headlining performances from [the Weeknd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weeknd "The Weeknd"), [Beyoncé](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyonc%C3%A9 "Beyoncé"), and [Eminem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem "Eminem"). Making up for her cancellation the previous year, Beyoncé became the first African-American woman to headline the festival. Her performances paid tribute to the culture of [historically Black colleges and universities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_black_colleges_and_universities "Historically black colleges and universities"),[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-97) featuring a full marching band and [majorette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorette "Majorette") dancers,[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-:1-98) while incorporating various aspects of [Black Greek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pan-Hellenic_Council "National Pan-Hellenic Council") life, such as a [step show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_show "Step show") along with strolling by pledges. The performance featured on-stage appearances by fellow [Destiny's Child](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny%27s_Child "Destiny's Child") members [Kelly Rowland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Rowland "Kelly Rowland") and [Michelle Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Williams_\(singer\) "Michelle Williams (singer)") as well as Beyonce's sister [Solange Knowles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solange_Knowles "Solange Knowles").[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-99) The performances received immediate, widespread praise,[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-100)[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-nyt-beyonce-rev-101)[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-102) and were described by many media outlets as historic.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-103)[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-104)[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-105) *[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")* music critic [Jon Caramanica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Caramanica "Jon Caramanica") wrote, "There's not likely to be a more meaningful, absorbing, forceful and radical performance by an American musician this year, or any year soon, than Beyoncé's headlining set".[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-nyt-beyonce-rev-101) Her performance garnered 458,000 simultaneous viewers on [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") to become the festival's most viewed performance, and the entire festival had 41 million total viewers, making it the most livestreamed event ever.[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-106)[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-107) The performances were captured for a concert film, *[Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming:_A_Film_by_Beyonc%C3%A9 "Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé")*, and a live album, *[Homecoming: The Live Album](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming:_The_Live_Album "Homecoming: The Live Album")*, released in April 2019.
A report in *[Teen Vogue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Vogue "Teen Vogue")* described "rampant" sexual harassment and assault at the 2018 festival, and the author said she was groped 22 times in 10 hours.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-108) In response, Goldenvoice announced a new initiative in January 2019 called "Every One", which comprises "fan resources and policies" to combat sexual misconduct and improve the festival's responses to such behavior. "Safety ambassadors" were made available to direct attendees to professional counselors, and specially marked locations were added for attendees to seek services or report incidents of sexual misconduct. One of the program's goals stated, "We are taking deliberate steps to develop a festival culture that is safe and inclusive for everyone".[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-109)
Coachella celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019.

[Justin Timberlake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Timberlake "Justin Timberlake") was reportedly slated to headline but had to cancel after bruising his vocal cords.[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-113) Goldenvoice was also forced to abandon plans for [Kanye West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West "Kanye West") to headline, as they could not accommodate his request to build a giant dome for his performance in the middle of the festival grounds. West was instead allowed to hold the first public "[Sunday Service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Service_\(group\) "Sunday Service (group)")" performance on Easter on April 21 at the venue's campgrounds.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-114) West and a gospel choir performed an approximately 33-song set list of his songs as well as classic R\&B and gospel covers.[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cons-115) The first weekend of the festival suffered audio technical difficulties with several high-profile performances.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-116) The following weekend, *[The Daily Beast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Beast "The Daily Beast")* published a report of the alleged "inhumane treatment" of the festival's security guards. The workers cited poor tent conditions, insufficient food and water, long hours in the harsh sun, minimum wages, and poor communication and coordination between the organizers and the subcontracting security firms.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-117)
The 2020 festival was originally scheduled to take place on April 10–12 and April 17–19 with [Rage Against the Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_Against_the_Machine "Rage Against the Machine"), [Travis Scott](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Scott "Travis Scott"), and [Frank Ocean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Ocean "Frank Ocean") as the headlining acts.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-118)[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-119) Due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_the_United_States "COVID-19 pandemic in the United States"), the festival was initially postponed until October 9–11 and October 16–18,[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-postponement-3) but in June, Riverside County public health officers announced it and Stagecoach had been cancelled altogether due to a ban on public gatherings, as well as [lockdowns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns "COVID-19 lockdowns") and [travel restrictions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic "Travel during the COVID-19 pandemic").[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-coachella2020-120) On April 10, a documentary profiling the festival's 20-year history, *Coachella: 20 Years in the Desert*, was released on [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") to coincide with the original start date of the 2020 event.[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-121) The 2021 festival was also cancelled as a result of [pandemic restrictions in California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_California "COVID-19 pandemic in California") and the threats of the [COVID-19 variants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variants_of_SARS-CoV-2 "Variants of SARS-CoV-2").[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-122)
Coachella returned in 2022 on April 15–17 and April 22–24.[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-123) The headlining lineup initially comprised [Harry Styles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Styles "Harry Styles"), [Billie Eilish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Eilish "Billie Eilish"), [Kanye West](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West "Kanye West"), and [Swedish House Mafia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_House_Mafia "Swedish House Mafia").[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-124) Less than two weeks before the festival, West withdrew. The vacancy in the Sunday night headliner slot was filled by Swedish House Mafia – who previously had not been scheduled for a specific day – for a joint performance with [the Weeknd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weeknd "The Weeknd").[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-125) While not advertised as a headlining act, [Arcade Fire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Fire "Arcade Fire") was added to the official 2022 schedule on April 14, a day before the festival's first weekend.[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-126)

[Blackpink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpink "Blackpink") became the first Asian act to headline Coachella in 2023
The 2023 edition of Coachella, which took place from April 14–16 and April 21–23, was also beset with last-minute lineup changes. The originally announced headliners were [Bad Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bunny "Bad Bunny"), [Blackpink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpink "Blackpink"), and [Frank Ocean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Ocean "Frank Ocean"); the former two were Coachella's first Latin and Asian headliners, respectively.[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-127) In the days leading up to the first weekend, Ocean suffered leg injuries from an alleged bicycle accident on the festival grounds. The production for his performance was then scaled down extensively;[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-128) plans to utilize an ice rink with over 100 skaters were scrapped at the last minute,[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-129) forcing festival crew to hurriedly melt the ice surface.[\[130\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-130) Ocean began his performance an hour late, and after exceeding the festival curfew by 25 minutes, he abruptly ended his show.[\[131\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-131) He subsequently withdrew from the second weekend, citing recommendations from his doctor. [Blink-182](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink-182 "Blink-182"), which reunited its classic lineup and had been added to the festival two days before it began,[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-132) was promoted to fill the second weekend's headlining vacancy on Sunday night.[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-133) After they performed, the trio of DJs [Skrillex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrillex "Skrillex"), [Four Tet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Tet "Four Tet"), and [Fred Again](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Again "Fred Again") – all of whom were added to the lineup the day before the second weekend began – concluded the festival.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-134) According to reports, Goldenvoice will incur more than \$4 million in losses from the production costs associated with Ocean's unused ice rink, more than his booking fee for the performance. The promoters were also fined \$133,000 for curfew violations from the opening weekend.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-135)
The [2024 edition of the festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_2024 "Coachella 2024") featured headliners [Lana Del Rey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Del_Rey "Lana Del Rey"), [Tyler, the Creator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler,_the_Creator "Tyler, the Creator"), and [Doja Cat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doja_Cat "Doja Cat") plus a reunion by [No Doubt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Doubt "No Doubt"), their first shows together since 2015.[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-136) It took nearly a month for the first weekend of Coachella to sell out, whereas it normally sells out within a week.[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-137)
The movie *[The Idea of You](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Idea_of_You "The Idea of You")* released in spring of 2024 prominently features Coachella.[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-138)
[Coachella 2025](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_2025 "Coachella 2025") featured headline performances from [Lady Gaga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga "Lady Gaga"), who previously headlined in 2017, [Green Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Day "Green Day"), and [Post Malone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_Malone "Post Malone"). [Travis Scott](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Scott "Travis Scott"), who was not initially attached to a specific day, is also given headline billing and performed after Green Day on the Saturday shows. Gaga became just the second woman to headline Coachella twice, following [Björk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk "Björk"). [Her show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayhem_promotional_concerts "Mayhem promotional concerts") received critical acclaim and was described by several media outlets as "an all-timer experience" and one "for the history books", with the singer being called a "once-in-a-generation" performer.[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-139)[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-140)[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-141)[\[142\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-142) Green Day and Post Malone made their Coachella headlining debuts, while Scott headlined after previously being scheduled at the cancelled 2020 edition of the festival.[\[143\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-143) On April 12, 2025, [Los Angeles Philharmonic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Philharmonic "Los Angeles Philharmonic"), conducted by [Gustavo Dudamel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Dudamel "Gustavo Dudamel"), became the first major orchestra to perform at Coachella.[\[144\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-144)

Temperatures during the festival's history have ranged from 43 [°F](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit "Fahrenheit") (6 [°C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius "Celsius")) on April 14, 2012, to 106 [°F](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit "Fahrenheit") (41 [°C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius "Celsius")) on April 21, 2012.[\[145\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-145) The festival is hosted at the 78-acre [Empire Polo Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Polo_Club "Empire Polo Club");[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-youtube-146) when accounting for land used for parking and camping, the event covers a footprint of approximately 642 acres.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2017changes-pe-147) The site is about 125 miles (200 km) east of [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles").[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sweetmusic-52)
During the festival, several stages continuously host live music. Two outdoor stages are used, along with several tents named after deserts.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) The primary stages that have been in use since Coachella's inception are:
- **Coachella Stage** – the main stage that draws the largest crowds. This outdoor stage is where the headlining acts perform.
- **Outdoor Theatre** – a smaller outdoor stage adjacent to the Coachella Stage
- **Mojave** – a mid-size tent[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149) named after the [Mojave Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Desert "Mojave Desert") that hosts acts across multiple genres and varying stages of development.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) In 2017, it was moved behind an access road. A year later, it received further changes, as it was enlarged and moved again, this time to the Sahara's previous spot near the rose garden.[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149)
- **Gobi** – a mid-size tent named after the [Gobi Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobi_Desert "Gobi Desert") that hosts acts across multiple genres and varying stages of development.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) Like the Mojave, it was moved behind an access road in 2017.[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149)
- **Sahara** – a large, [hangar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangar "Hangar")\-like tent named after the [Sahara Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_Desert "Sahara Desert"). It generally hosts the top [electronic dance music](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_dance_music "Electronic dance music") acts.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) In 2013, the tent was expanded in size, reaching a height of 80 feet. Further changes were made in 2018, as it was built 25 percent larger and relocated west from the row of tents near the Empire Polo Club's rose garden to a spot on the Eldorado Polo Club near the festival entrance. The new location offers more shade and alleviates issues with foot traffic.[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-ds-149)[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-pe-150) The stage was also moved from one of the open ends of the structure to one of its sides, allowing a wider field of view to attendees.[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-2018changes-pe-150)
Additional performance areas have been added over time, including:
- **Yuma** – a small indoor tent introduced in 2013[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yuma-latimes-151) that primarily hosts emerging [DJs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_jockey "Disc jockey").[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148) The tent was intended to be "a sophisticated space that dials down the noise and strobe lights in favor of thoughtful sounds and underground acts".[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yuma-latimes-151)
- **Sonora** – a small indoor tent introduced in 2017 to host [punk rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock "Punk rock") and [Latin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_music "Latin music") acts[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148)
- **Heineken House** – a small venue introduced in 2014. It was dedicated to "legendary musical performances" and "live mash-ups from a wide array of musical artists".[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mw-heineken-152) Originally designed as a walled structure to provide a club-like atmosphere, it was redesigned in 2019 to feature an open beer garden layout with a slanted roof, eliminating the long waiting lines and giving more visibility to attendees.[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-153)
- **Despacio** – a small indoor tent used in 2016. Co-created by [James Murphy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Murphy_\(electronic_musician\) "James Murphy (electronic musician)") of [LCD Soundsystem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_Soundsystem "LCD Soundsystem"), the venue played "slow-simmering disco and vintage club music" on [vinyl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph_record "Phonograph record") with the intention of creating a joyful setting. It featured a 50,000 watt sound system and air conditioning.[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-154)[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-155)
- **Antarctic** – an indoor dome introduced in 2017 to screen [360-degree immersive videos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360-degree_video "360-degree video"). The structure is 120 feet in diameter, features 11,000 square feet in projection space and air conditioning, and can seat 500 people. [Obscura Digital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscura_Digital "Obscura Digital") produced the film shown in 2017.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-ds-2017changes-148)[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-hp-19-156)
- **Oasis Dome** – Used in 2006 and 2011
- **Quasar** – An outdoor stage introduced in 2024 for long format DJ sets.

Two art installations from Coachella 2014: Lightweaver and Escape Velocity. The latter piece was one of several giant moving art installations designed by Poetic Kinetics for past Coachella festivals.
In addition to hosting live music, Coachella is a showcase for [visual arts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_arts "Visual arts"), including [installation art](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installation_art "Installation art") and [sculpture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture "Sculpture"). Many of the pieces are [interactive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_art "Interactive art"), providing a visual treat for attendees.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-natlconvo-157) Throughout the years, the art has grown in scale and outrageousness.[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-behindart-158) Paul Clemente, Coachella's art director since 2009,[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-campart-159) said, "I think the level of detail and finish and artistry and scale and complexity and technology, everything is constantly getting notched up, ratcheted up. We're obviously constantly trying to, for lack of a better word, outdo ourselves and make it better for the fans."[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-behindart-158)
In Coachella's early years, art was mostly recycled from the previous year's [Burning Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Man "Burning Man") festival, due to smaller budgets.[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-campart-159) Between 2010 and 2015, Goldenvoice shifted its focus from renting pieces to commissioning them specifically for the festival, increasing their budget. Artists are given access to the grounds just 10 days before the festival, giving them a tight timeframe in which to assemble their pieces.[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-behindart-158) Due to the high cost of re-assembly, only about half of them appear again outside of Coachella.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-natlconvo-157) Describing the festival's importance to art, Cynthia Washburn of art collective Poetic Kinetics said, "With all the exposure here, I think Coachella is becoming as attractive for artists as it is for the musicians."[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-beyondsnail-160) In 2013, Clemente considered about 300 art proposals, the most in the festival's history for the time.[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-beyondsnail-160) Poetic Kinetics has designed several giant moving art installations for past Coachella festivals, including a snail in 2013 ("Helix Poeticus"), an astronaut in 2014 ("Escape Velocity"), and a caterpillar that "metamorphosized" into a butterfly in 2015 ("Papilio Merraculous").[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-161) The collective reprised the astronaut for the 2019 festival ("Overview Effect"), with weathering affects applied to the design.[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-162)
Some of the works have been featured at [Art Basel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Basel "Art Basel"), and involved participants from architecture schools, both local and international. A few of the visual artists, such as Hotshot the Robot, [Robochrist Industries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robochrist_Industries "Robochrist Industries"), the Tesla Coil (Cauac), [Cyclecide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclecide "Cyclecide"), and The Do LaB, alongside avant-garde performance troupe [Lucent Dossier Experience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucent_Dossier_Experience "Lucent Dossier Experience"), have appeared for several consecutive years.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\] Poster artist [Emek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emek_\(designer\) "Emek (designer)") has produced limited edition posters every year since 2007.\[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")*\]
As the host city to Coachella and the [Stagecoach Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_Festival "Stagecoach Festival"), Indio provides several services such as police and fire protection, private security, medical services, outside law enforcement, and city staff services. These services for the three weekends of festivals totaled \$2.77 million in 2012.[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indio-gv-163) All public safety needs are coordinated by Indio's police department, requiring them to liaise with nearly 12 agencies, including police departments from nearby cities, the [sheriff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheriff "Sheriff")'s department, [California Highway Patrol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Highway_Patrol "California Highway Patrol"), the [California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Department_of_Forestry_and_Fire_Protection "California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection"), [American Medical Response](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Medical_Response "American Medical Response"), and the [California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Department_of_Alcoholic_Beverage_Control "California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control").[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indio-gv-163) To avoid disturbing local residents, a [curfew](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curfew "Curfew") for music performances is enforced; since 2010, it has been 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, an hour later than the previous curfew,[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indio-gv-163) and midnight on Sunday nights.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-tollettspills-82) Per a 2013 agreement with the City of Indio, Goldenvoice must pay a fine of \$20,000 if it exceeds the curfew by five minutes, plus \$1,000 for each additional minute beyond that. The fines benefit the city's General Fund, which covers operating costs, public work services, and the police and fire departments.[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-164)
### Environmental sustainability
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella&action=edit§ion=13 "Edit section: Environmental sustainability")\]
[](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TRASHed_Coachella_2013_GI.jpg)
Coachella features [Global Inheritance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Inheritance "Global Inheritance")'s TRASHed :: Art of Recycling campaign, in which artists from across the US design recycling bins.
Organizers of Coachella manage its [carbon footprint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint "Carbon footprint") by partnering with the organization [Global Inheritance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Inheritance "Global Inheritance") to promote several environmentally friendly initiatives. Global Inheritance's original project was its "TRASHed :: Art of Recycling" campaign, which challenges local artists to design and decorate recycling bins that are placed across the festival grounds.[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sustaingame-165) Another program is "Carpoolchella"; launched in 2007,[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sustaingame-165) it rewards festivalgoers who [carpool](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpool "Carpool") in groups of four or more and display the word "Carpoolchella" on their cars by entering them in a drawing to win VIP tickets for life.[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-166) Through the 2014 festival, the program had 140,000 participants and more than 70 winners of lifetime festival passes.[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-167) In 2007, Coachella teamed up with Global Inheritance to start a 10-for-1 recycling program, in which anyone who collects ten empty water bottles receives a free full one. In 2009, the festival introduced \$10 refillable water bottles, which purchasers could refill at water stations inside the festival and within the campgrounds.[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-168) Other programs used at the festival include [solar powered](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power "Solar power") DJ booths and [seesaws](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw "Seesaw") used to charge mobile phones.[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-sustaingame-165)
About 600 staffers are required to collect the litter that accumulates during the festival. Resources are sorted individually on site before being taken to local landfills and recycling centers. Goldenvoice maintains a goal to "divert 90 percent of \[its\] recyclable and compostable materials". In 2013, staff diverted over 577,720,000 pounds of materials, comprising 36,860 tons of aluminum cans, 105,000 tons of cardboard, 65,360 tons of PET plastic, 47,040 tons of scrap metal, and 34,600 tons of glass.[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-169)
In 2003, Coachella began allowing tent camping as an option for festival lodging. The campground site is on a polo field adjacent to the venue grounds and has its own entrance on the south side of the venue. 2010 introduced many new features, such as re-entry from the campsite to the festival grounds, parking next to your tent, and [recreational vehicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle "Recreational vehicle") camping spots ([recreational vehicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicle "Recreational vehicle") camping was offered one year only). For that festival, there were more than 17,000 campers. At the 2012 event, on-site facilities included recycling, a general store, showers, mobile phone charging stations and an internet cafe with free WiFi.[\[170\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-170)
Tollett begins to book artists for each festival as early as the previous August. In addition to agent pitches and artists discovered online, the lineup is culled from acts booked by Goldenvoice for their other 1,800 shows each year. Tollett uses the promoter's ticketing figures for insight into whom to book, saying: "There are AEG shows all across the country, and I see all their show lists and ticket counts. So I see little things that are happening maybe before some others, because they don't have that data."[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cooltoalist-171) The booking process takes approximately six months.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) According to the *[Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times")*, booking fees for most artists playing the festival allegedly start at \$15,000 and extend into the "high six figures." Top-billed artists for 2010 were expected to receive over \$1 million.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-lat-hiddencosts-172) *[Billboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_\(magazine\) "Billboard (magazine)")*'s sources estimated that non-headline acts can earn anywhere from \$500 to \$100,000.[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cooltoalist-171) According to a 2017 profile on Tollett in *[The New Yorker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker "The New Yorker")*, that year's headlining performers received \$3–4 million.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) Beyoncé's 2018 performances and Ariana Grande's 2019 performances reportedly garnered them each \$8 million.[\[173\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-173)
In booking the festival, Goldenvoice uses [radius clauses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_clause "Radius clause") that can prevent acts from performing in the vicinity of Coachella for a certain amount of time before and after the festival. The promoter has allowed some of Coachella's acts to make appearances in the region prior to the festival and between weekends, but only at events and venues owned or controlled by Goldenvoice's parent company AEG; one such example was [Jay-Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z "Jay-Z")'s concert at Staples Center in 2010.[\[172\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-lat-hiddencosts-172)[\[174\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-kpcc-bendrules-174)[\[175\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-npr-coachella-175) Goldenvoice now promotes these events, dubbed "Localchella", as a series of small warm-up shows for Coachella in Southern California.[\[176\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-176)[\[177\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-177) In May 2018, AEG and its subsidiaries were sued by the Oregon-based Soul'D Out Festival for [anti-competitive practices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-competitive_practices "Anti-competitive practices") related to Coachella's radius clause. As part of the lawsuit, the clause's details were revealed. They stipulate that any artist performing at Coachella:[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-178)[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-brand-protect-179)
- Cannot perform at any other North American festival from December 15 to May 1.
- Cannot play any hard ticket shows in Southern California from December 15 to May 1.
- Cannot "advertise, publicize or leak" performances for competing festivals in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, or Arizona, or headlining performances in Southern California taking place after May 1 until after May 7.
- Cannot announce festival appearances for the other 45 US states until after the January announcement of Coachella's lineup, except for [South by Southwest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_by_Southwest "South by Southwest"), [Ultra Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Music_Festival "Ultra Music Festival"), and the [New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Jazz_%26_Heritage_Festival "New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival").
- Cannot publicize concerts in California, Arizona, Washington, or Oregon until after the January announcement of Coachella's lineup, except for performances in Las Vegas casinos.
Goldenvoice attempts to release the lineup poster as close to [New Year's Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year%27s_Day "New Year's Day") as possible, so that Coachella is the first major festival of the year to announce its lineup. This gives the promoter a competitive advantage over other festivals, many of which end up sharing headliners by the time they are all announced.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9) The Coachella lineup poster lists its music artists across several lines in gradually decreasing [font sizes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_\(typography\) "Point (typography)") in descending order of prominence. The line on which an artist's name appears as well as their font size is a contentious topic between Goldenvoice and talent agents, as placement on the poster will often dictate an artist's future booking fee. Tollett said, "We have so many arguments over font sizes. I literally have *[gone to the mat](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/go_to_the_mat#English "wikt:go to the mat")* over one point size."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
Organizers were initially resistant to accepting sponsorship deals that would help Coachella turn a higher profit. In 2003, Tollett estimated that Goldenvoice could earn an additional \$300,000 to \$500,000 by adding a corporate sponsor to the festival name, but he did not want to violate the purity of the event. He said, "I hate it when you go to shows and you are bombarded with all this advertising. It just shows a lack of respect for your audience and the music."[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-indvision-23) Organizers have relaxed their opposition over the years. Brewing company [Heineken N.V.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heineken_N.V. "Heineken N.V.") has maintained a sponsorship with Coachella since 2002, and is the "official brew" of the festival.[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-180) The company has sponsored a small performance venue at the festival called the "Heineken House" since 2014, where attendees can drink [Heineken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heineken "Heineken") beers and keep their cases of Heineken refrigerated.[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mw-heineken-152) Clothing retailer [H\&M](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%26M "H&M") added a small sponsored tent on the festival grounds in 2015,[\[181\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-181) where attendees could purchase items from the company's Coachella-inspired clothing line called "H\&M Loves Coachella".[\[182\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-182) Information technology company [HP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_Inc. "HP Inc.") has sponsored the Antarctic dome since 2017,[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-hp-19-156) in addition to hosting a promotional tent.[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-variety-hp-183) HP's promotions included allowing attendees to design and print bandanas and tote bags, capture [light drawing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_drawing "Light drawing") [GIFs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF "GIF"), design kaleidoscopes, and interact with a motion-reactive wall.[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-hp-19-156)[\[183\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-variety-hp-183) Tollett still objects to having the primary stages and tents sponsored: "I wouldn't let sponsors' logos on the stages. I feel like when the band is playing it should be you and the band, and it's a sacred moment."[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-mastermind-9)
Since 2011, [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") has [live streamed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") performances from Coachella.[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yt-stream-23-bb-184) Initially, the first weekend was streamed across three separate channels.[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-youtube-146)[\[185\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-185) In 2014, [AXS TV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AXS_TV "AXS TV") began broadcasting the second weekend on television;[\[186\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-186) over 20 hours of live performances from the 2015 festival were broadcast on AXS TV.[\[187\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-187) Performances from the 2015 festival were also broadcast live on [Sirius XM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_XM "Sirius XM") satellite radio for the first time.[\[188\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-188) In 2019, YouTube expanded its content for the festival livestream, which included a stream of both weekends of the festival for the first time. Weekend one included a premiere of [Donald Glover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Glover "Donald Glover")'s film *[Guava Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guava_Island "Guava Island")*, while weekend two featured *Coachella Curated*, programming hosted by radio personality [Jason Bentley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Bentley "Jason Bentley") that took "a deep dive into the festival experience" by offering "encore and live performances, artist commentary, mini-docs, animated adventures and more".[\[189\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-189) *Coachella Curated* was reprised for the 2022 festival's second weekend.[\[190\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-190) In 2023, Coachella's streaming agreement with YouTube was renewed through 2026,[\[184\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-yt-stream-23-bb-184) and for the first time, performances from all six stages were streamed, covering both weekends.[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-191)
For 2016, organizers partnered with Vantage.tv to offer [virtual reality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality "Virtual reality") (VR) content for the festival. Ticket holders received a cardboard [VR viewer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_headset "Virtual reality headset") inspired by [Google Cardboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cardboard "Google Cardboard") in their Coachella welcome package that could be used with the Coachella VR [mobile app](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_app "Mobile app") (which was released on [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_\(operating_system\) "Android (operating system)"), [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS"), and [Samsung Gear VR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Gear_VR "Samsung Gear VR")). Content included 360-degree panoramic photos of previous events, virtual tours of the 2016 festival site, interviews, and performances.[\[192\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-192) That same year, YouTube live streamed performances from weekend two in 360 degrees for viewing with VR headsets.[\[193\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-193)
The success of Coachella has led its organizers to partner with other American music festivals. In 2003, Goldenvoice agreed to work with the organizers of Field Day, a New York-based festival modeled after Coachella, to help promote and produce the event,[\[194\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-194) although the show was completely overhauled from its original vision.[\[195\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-195) In September 2014, Goldenvoice announced it had entered into a joint venture with Red Frog Events to help them promote and produce their [Firefly Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_Music_Festival "Firefly Music Festival").[\[196\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-196) In January 2015, a similar agreement was reached with the organizers of the [Hangout Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangout_Music_Festival "Hangout Music Festival").[\[197\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-197)
Goldenvoice claimed it spent \$700,000 in 2015 on "media and related content to promote Coachella".[\[198\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-198)
Goldenvoice has actively protected the Coachella [brand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand "Brand"). As of April 2018, they filed six lawsuits in the previous two years against outlets that attempted to use the Coachella name or the suffix "chella". The [defendants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defendant "Defendant") included the music festival Hoodchella; the film festival Filmchella; energy company [Phillips 66](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillips_66 "Phillips 66"), which promoted a Coachella wristband giveaway that the festival's terms of services disallows; [Sean Combs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Combs "Sean Combs")'s event "Combschella"; [Urban Outfitters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Outfitters "Urban Outfitters"); and a [Whole Foods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Foods_Market "Whole Foods Market") location in [Palm Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Desert,_California "Palm Desert, California") that promoted a "Wholechella" concert and tasting event. Another lawsuit was filed in September 2021 against radio presenter RaaShaun Casey (also known as DJ Envy) for his hip hop and auto show "Carchella", which he agreed to rename to "DJ Envy's Drive Your Dreams Car Show".[\[199\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-199)[\[200\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-200) According to Goldenvoice's attorneys in one lawsuit, the litigation is one way the promoter attempts to "extensively police unauthorized use of the Coachella Marks". Although the Coachella name has been in use by [a town in the Coachella Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California "Coachella, California") since before the festival was founded, the festival's success has imbued the name with "[secondary meaning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark_distinctiveness "Trademark distinctiveness")", allowing Goldenvoice to [trademark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark "Trademark") it.[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-brand-protect-179)
In December 2021, Coachella won a restraining order against [Live Nation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Nation "Live Nation")'s Coachella Day One 22 festival. A judge ruled that Live Nation is likely infringing trademarks by selling tickets to the event nearby.[\[201\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-201)

According to a 2015 ranking by online ticket retailer [Viagogo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagogo "Viagogo"), Coachella was the second-most in-demand concert ticket, trailing only the [Tomorrowland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrowland_\(festival\) "Tomorrowland (festival)") festival.[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-viagogo-202)
Coachella is considered a trendsetter in music and fashion. Singer [Katy Perry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy_Perry "Katy Perry") said, "The lineup always introduces the best of the year for the rest of the year."[\[171\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-cooltoalist-171)
Coachella has become known for the variety of distinctive apparel worn by attendees, which primarily include eclectic combinations of colors, materials, and ethnic borrowings.[\[203\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-203) Some activists and journalists have criticized the latter as being [cultural appropriation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation "Cultural appropriation"), particularly non-natives wearing [Native American](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States "Native Americans in the United States")\-inspired [headdresses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_bonnet "War bonnet") and body paint.[\[204\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-204)[\[205\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-205)[\[206\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-206)
According to a 2012 economic impact study, Coachella brought \$254.4 million to the desert region that year;[\[207\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-207) of that total, Indio received \$89.2 million in [consumer spending](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_spending "Consumer spending") and \$1.4 million in tax revenue.[\[202\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-viagogo-202) Goldenvoice's other festival at the Empire Polo Club, Stagecoach, has been called a "cousin" of Coachella, but it has grown at a faster pace, eventually selling out for the first time in 2012 with 55,000 attendees.[\[208\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-208) Together, the two festivals were estimated by experts to have a global impact of \$704.75 million in 2016;[\[209\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-pe16-209) approximately \$403.2 million of that was expected to impact the Coachella Valley,[\[209\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-pe16-209) \$106 million of which would go to businesses in Indio.[\[210\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-16economicimpact-210) The city was expected to gain \$3.18 million in ticket taxes from the two festivals in 2016.[\[210\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-16economicimpact-210)
The success of Coachella led to Goldenvoice holding additional music festivals at the Empire Polo Club. It founded the country music festival Stagecoach in 2007 and continues to hold it on an annual basis. In 2011, the promoter staged the Big 4 festival, so-named for its quadruple billing of the most prominent bands in [thrash metal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrash_metal "Thrash metal")—[Anthrax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthrax_\(American_band\) "Anthrax (American band)"), [Megadeth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megadeth "Megadeth"), [Metallica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica "Metallica"), and [Slayer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer "Slayer").[\[211\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-211) In 2016, Goldenvoice staged [Desert Trip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Trip "Desert Trip"), which featured older rock oriented and legacy acts such as [the Rolling Stones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones "The Rolling Stones"), [Paul McCartney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney "Paul McCartney"), and [Bob Dylan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan "Bob Dylan").[\[212\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella#cite_note-212)
