Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Queer men where do you guys get your Coachella outfits?

I’m debating staying in Indio (very expensive) vs a Palm Springs location. How long does it typically take to drive to/from Coachella? I see on map that without traffic it’s 40 mins. Is it horrendous during Coachella days? Is it worth staying in Indio even if it’s an arm and a leg?

FROM: Phoenix, AZ, USA 🇺🇸

GENRE: Shoegaze, dream pop

Arriving as a standout group in the current American shoegaze renaissance, Phoenix four-piece Glixen transcend all expectations of what the genre should currently look and sound like. The band creates a profoundly heavy sonic experience with their music, paying respects to their predecessors but resulting in something completely modern. An amalgamation of influences like Björk, My Bloody Valentine, Godflesh, t.A.T.u, and Hum, their sound crawls with intensity and introspection to contrast lead singer Aislinn Ritchie’s lulling vocals.

Hello,

Looking into hiring a private driver for Coachella Weekend 1. Group of 6-8. Looking to book a Suburban SUV that can fit us all. Fairly reasonable rates, and not looking to hire private drivers through Reddit or Craigslist. I want a trusted service that's reputable.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

When does the Do Lab line up get released??

I’m dyinggggg for DoLab and Quasar to drop their lineups and my impatience is killing me, would love to hear people’s guesses of who might there in the meantime!!

(Secretly hoping Rufus du Sol even though I know it’s probably highly unlikely!)

Nice

New music friday is upon us! loving this new release from Maribou State, excited for their set

FROM: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷 (Currently: Miami, FL, USA)

GENRE: Dance-pop, contemporary R&B, Latin pop

Born Larissa de Macedo Machado in 1993, Anitta wasted no time climbing to the top of the pop charts—including those outside her native Brazil. Viral self-made videos led to recording deals as a teen, quickly followed by a number one hit, the high-octane "Show das Poderosas", in 2013. Anitta's brassy, sultry vocals are just as captivating over tropical house beats—like in the Alesso collaboration "Is That For Me"—as percolating Latin rhythms. Performing at the 2016 Summer Olympics thrust her into the international spotlight—and it's clear she's not leaving it any time soon.

HOT SONGS: Envolver | Downtown (w/ J Balvin) | Mil Veces

LIVE PREVIEW: Beach, Please! 2024

FOR FANS OF: Pabllo Vittar, Luísa Sonza, Pedro Sampaio

PERFORMING: Saturday

Any preferred camping solo goers? My friends didn't upgrade to preferred this year and I refuse to downgrade. Anyone going in solo that might wanna drive in together for W2?

Dave Grohl is still in the doghouse as far as I'm concerned, but what a heck of a surprise!

And to take Kurt's place for a song each were St. Vincent, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, muthafuckin Joan Jett, and Dave's Daughter Violet!

It won't happen for Coachella, but that's the kind of reunion we need back.

Did anyone watch their performance? I thought they did great, made me miss their Coachella set. Look forward to a tour announcement

Hey Goldenvoice,

I’m here on behalf of every Coachella-goer who lives for the dark, sweaty, euphoric energy of the Yuma Tent. It’s easily the best club on the planet for two weekends, but we need to talk about one thing thats been missing the last few years. The one thing thats been taken from us right from under our nosie wosies: the BEDS.

Yes, the glorious, plush respite in the back corner where you could take a breather without abandoning the beats. Whether you needed a moment to reset, vibe out horizontally, or just recharge your dancing legs, those beds were an oasis in the techno storm, a place to simply take a break or freak out on your own terms without scaring anyone but not miss out on the high hats.

And let's be real—there's nothing quite like the spiritual journey of lying down in Yuma, surrounded by lasers, bass, and the most eclectic crowd under the disco shark.

Now, I’ll be honest—I don’t personally use the beds, but, I do like walking by and seeing people fully passed out, catching some Z's or vibing in their own world in the middle of an absolute heater of a set.

Please, Goldenvoice, give the people what they need: a break in the middle of our favorite dance sanctuary. Bring back the beds and let us vibe responsibly.

Who's with me? 🛏️🔥

So much nostalgia as a 90’s SoCal kid so far, plenty of Coachella vibes as well with the performers. Green Day, Alanis, and Dre coming out with Paak has been great so far. Hope they raise record amounts with this.

He all - curious if anyone with VIP passes this year was able to scoop up a VIP locker in the AXS portal? Can’t seem to find where to buy.

Guessing they either haven’t gone on sale or they’ve sold out…. Weekend 2 for me.

Thanks!

What are your tips for me as a first time Coachella attendee? I want all the details, tips, and tricks.

We’re staying at an Airbnb that’s a 10 minute drive from the venue. How is the rideshare situation?

Anything you think would be helpful to know! Thank you in advance!

Is it delulu to think that Nike will have a tent selling exclusive Travis Scott Nikes this year something like what adidas did with bad bunny

When do the wristbands start getting shipped out? I’m just curious since I know Coachella is around the corner and I just want to make sure I’ll be home to receive them.

First time coachella goer, when should expect coachella & shuttle tickets to be mailed in?

FROM: Memphis, TN, USA 🇺🇸

GENRE: Southern hip-hop, Memphis rap, crunk

You can't tell the story of southern hip-hop without mentioning the Three 6 Mafia. Founded by Juicy J, Lord Infamous, and DJ Paul, the Memphis group became hometown heroes with their pioneering crunk sound. Their indie label, Hypnotized Minds, also brought through local artists like Gangsta Boo and Project Pat. After serving the underground scene with a stream of menacing music throughout the '90s, the group finally cracked the mainstream with a triumphant Oscar winning contribution to the Hustle and Flow soundtrack in 2006.

HOT SONGS: Stay Fly | Half On a Sack | Sippin On Some Syrup

LIVE PREVIEW: Bonnaroo 2023

I don't work for them, just got an email. They'll have their own shuttle since they're not an official Coachella stop this year.

They're a solid option for people not camping on-site - they have pre-set camp sites, vintage Airstreams, and pre-set trailers. Plus a pool on site. https://shadowhillsrvresort.com

My favorite part of Coachella is the camping experience! I usually take pictures of my campsite and wanted to see if anybody else did the same thing. If you do the same post some pictures for some inspiration for me and others!

did ppl start camping??? wow yeah o tho k while are on top fl bring .zmgrab

I need to buy a Weekend 1 ticket, are there any reputable apps that I can use? Please and thank you. I do not use Facebook/ plan on using Facebook. Thank you!

what are the odds they’ll have Coachella edition merch ?

This is my first Coachella. And I as I said in a previous post, I plan to car camp in my jeep and sleep inside while using reflective shades, black out shades, battery operated fans etc.

Some people recommended that I get an EZ up. What are some tips that you have when to put up and when to take down the ez-up and how to ensure that it stays up? The last thing I want is that it flys away or hits someone’s car while we are sleeping or at festival. So please give me all tips and advice!

What else should I know, if I plan to sleep in car?
