Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Coachella began in 1999 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, bringing live music into the desert landscape of the Coachella Valley. Its stages have welcomed artists from rock, hip-hop, electronic music, pop, and beyond, alongside large-scale installations that make art part of the experience. The festival has become a place for major performances, unexpected reunions, and the discovery of artists on their way to a wider audience.
