The Stagecoach Country Music Festival and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival are annual traditions at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. While the festivals share the month of April and happen on consecutive weekends, they usually have some similarities and differences.
One of the most significant differences this year was that Stagecoach sold out, which is rare. Coachella ticket sales usually go within a couple of hours, but it took a month for weekend one to sell out, and weekend two sales stalled. Aside from that, the music, food, activations and more give each festival ..read more

Leaving his first-ever Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival three years ago, Aidan Martinez was fed up. He’d gone to the festival hoping to catch his favorite acts, and was left sorely disappointed. The reason? The group he came with.
“It was a lot of drama and nobody could agree on anything,” Martinez said.
In spite of his experience, Martinez decided he wouldn’t call it quits on the festival. Last year, he went alone.

The fruity slushies were being poured in small cups for free at the Coachella campgrounds at a booth near the main path to the festival entrance. With flavo ..read more

The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival continues to take the necessary steps to be diverse and inclusive in as many ways as possible.
The event has produced a central hub known as the Community to provide a safe environment for anyone in need of them.

“Community means an effort to take care of each other and support everybody regardless of who they are, where they ..read more

Imagine being in the crowd during your favorite band’s set when the members announce that this is going to be the last show they’ll ever play. Just like that, you’ve suddenly become one of the last people, ever, to see them live.
That’s what happened during Blur’s Weekend 2 Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival set, and that’s why Emma Kremer-McCarthy argues that the three-day festival is still absolutely worth going to.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Kremer-McCarthy said. “We don’t know the next time we’ll be able to come back.”
