Coachella

Coachella is a three-day annual music festival held at the Empire Polo Club in California by Goldenvoice. The event features many genres of music as well as large sculptural art. It started in 1999 and about 25000 people attended the event, supporting headlining acts of The Chemical Brothers, Jurassic 5, DJ Shadow, and Underworld. The event went smoothly, with the biggest complaint being the blistering heat. The Coachella Music Festival has a desert setting with daytime temperatures frequently rising to over 38 °C. The festival enjoys little cloud cover or shade. The temperature drops drastically after sunset.


















After 2002, Coachella began to generate large-scale interest, and the 2003 festival drew the largest crowd yet. The 2004 event, featuring Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, and a number of other major bands, was the event's first sellout, with 50000 tickets sold for each Saturday and Sunday.

In 2003, Coachella started to include tent camping as an option for staying at the festival. The campground site is on an adjacent polo field next to the venue grounds. At 2007 festival, it was reported that camping attendance was in upwards of 17000. 2010 festival introduced many new features to camping such as re-entry from the campsite to the festival grounds, parking your car next to your tent and a limited number of recreational vehicle camping spots.

















Coachella tries to reduce its carbon footprint on the environment every year, which involves not just employees but also attendees. The festival highly promotes carpooling for its attendees, which include rewards for people who participate. Attendees who choose to carpool with four or more people in one car and have the word "carpoolchella" displayed somewhere on their car have a chance to be selected by a secret spotter to win VIP tickets/pass for life for everyone in the car. Therefore, as you can see, you can have this great opportunity for lifetime VIP pass only by carpooling and helping the environment, no matter if you own a priceless BMW or a sweat old Ford. Just help them to help you.



Now as regarding on how much fun you will have there, just have a look...
