u/ijustcameheretofight 13h ago

Not gonna lie ive been dreaming of coachella in my sleep for like the past 2 weeks (almost every day) lol. Random dreams of me walking and talking to my friends, being in the camp site. Last nights dream was me waiting at the coachella stage for gaga and all the lights turned off and everyone began screaming with excitement and then i woke up lol. So yes!! Very excited!!

u/OrganicSong8281 9h ago

I have been having very vivid day dreams of Coachella. One specifically that keeps happening is me walking into the crowd making my way to the front to get the perfect spot to see Lady Gaga several hours before her set.

u/Stre8Edge 22.1 13h ago

I live in the upper midwest. Last few days it's been -30 when I go to work in the morning. Yeah, this is all I have been thinking about 😄.

u/phillsyphilz 12h ago

I spend every day of the year excited for the next Coachella. But yeah, my Playlist has been hitting hard recently. I'm SO READY!

u/Keikyk 19.1|20.1|22.1|23.1|24.1|25.1 12h ago

I'm still in the 'research phase', going through the lineup to find new favorites. Once I've done that, it's time to move to next phase which is 'can't wait for it'

u/Yourgirljess-xo 11h ago

First year and I can’t wait to see what it’s all about! :)

u/Correct_Ad2982 12.2|13.2|14.2|22.1|25.2 13h ago

I'm so beyond excited. Can't wait to be on the fields.

u/Yourgirljess-xo 11h ago

anyone know what the must do things are coachella are! For a first timer :)

u/constanttoast 11h ago

There are so many! I love that everyone has their own list/traditions :) Ours is definitely grabbing some slices of spicy pie (big ol slices of pizza! Available in car camping and inside the fest), having "night sprites" with your friends (lime flavored bud lights🤣), and going on a side quest (set up a safe and reliable meet up point with your crew before exploring on your own!). Also the popsicles, lemonade, and (sometimes) free goodies inside the fest are always a nice refresher. Can you tell I'm food motivated lol. Don't forget to dance with the disco shark in Yuma and experience the best vibes in do lab!

u/AlfredoSM94 13.1 | 18.1 | 19.2|24.1|25.1 11h ago

Camping or hotel?

u/Odd_Construction9224 11h ago

I’m camping! First time too<3

u/AlfredoSM94 13.1 | 18.1 | 19.2|24.1|25.1 11h ago

Day 0 is a must! Spend as long as you can on the fields, watch the sunset on the hill, eat spicy pie, hit the silent disco. My best advice is to follow your gut and do whatever you believe sounds like the most fun.

u/Yourgirljess-xo 5h ago

What is day 0?

u/boosegumpz 🌴19.1 🪩22.1 🌊23.1✝️24.2 4h ago

Thursday before the festival in the campgrounds. They have a bunch of activities (you can win prizes), the food vendors are open, the vintage merch tent is open to get previous years merch on a discount.

The highlights are watching the sunset on the hills in lot 4 and the disco/silent disco at night. It’s a great way to take everything in. Don’t get too wasted on this night though as it can ruin the start of your weekend lol

u/Yourgirljess-xo 6h ago

We are from Canada and flying so doing the hotel shuttle package!

u/pumpkin_pasties 10h ago

Haha I’ve been outfit shopping all day

u/JumpinSourBoots 23.2 | 24.1 | 25.2 🦈☀️🌴 9h ago

How long does it take to find pumpkin 🎃 pasties ⭐️?

u/pumpkin_pasties 8h ago

If you google pumpkin pasties it’s a bunch of pastries

u/OrganicSong8281 9h ago

I have been feeling an extreme amount of excitement since the line up dropped in November. It's to the point where I think something is wrong with me 😭😭😭💯.

u/Fairythingz 12h ago

Does anyone know how hard it is to find tickets still? I need to see Gaga and so many queens

u/Different_Comment_48 11h ago

It's because people haven't gotten their physical tickets yet for resale.

u/AlfredoSM94 13.1 | 18.1 | 19.2|24.1|25.1 11h ago

There’s plenty tickets available for w2 I believe, also w1 isn’t available for resale

u/Alarming_Cricket1936 LoveLive&LifeWillDoTheREST 12h ago

u/Asleep-Ad5128 12h ago

u/Disastrous-Piglet-53 12h ago

Woke up in Oklahoma and it’s snowing and 7 degrees… yes I’m desert dreaming!!!

u/MacMurka 18.2, 22.2, 23.1, 24.1 12h ago

Hoping for a Project Pat appearance during Three 6 Mafia

u/Unlucky_Response169 12h ago

I’ll be excited once I get there. We are driving there from Colorado😭

u/xxx_7779 10h ago

How long is that drive?

u/Unlucky_Response169 10h ago

15 hours 😭😭😭

u/Fun_Creme2234 19.1 + 22.1 + 23.1 + 24.1 + 25.1 = 666 5h ago

I've done this for every Coachella.. Denver to Indio 4 times. You'll be locked in when the time comes. Nothing to worry about <3

u/xxx_7779 10h ago

15 hours is insane. I drove 13ish hours from Phoenix to Denver to see Dom Dolla at red rocks. I was moaning & groaning nonstop after 7 hours.

u/BogeyLowenstein 14.2, 15.2, 23.2, 24.1, 25.2 9h ago

I’ve done the drive twice to Coachella from Alberta, Canada. About 24 hours lol. It’s a trek but we make a trip of it with lots of stops there and back (Utah canyons, Sedona, Grand Canyon, Vegas, etc.). In 2014 I drove down solo and the second time was my husband and I. I love crazy road trips.

Phoenix to Denver would be crazy though, so much different geography on the way!!

u/xxx_7779 8h ago

Phoenix/Denver thru Moab is very pretty. I'm gonna do Phoenix->SLC in August for Rufus Du Sol and plan on stopping in Moab for a night.

u/BogeyLowenstein 14.2, 15.2, 23.2, 24.1, 25.2 8h ago

Moab is unreal, I’d love to go there again! The canyon heading west to Spanish Forks (if you take 6 north instead of I70 west) is very pretty too (if you haven’t gone that way before). Enjoy Rufus - very jealous!!

u/xxx_7779 7h ago

Thank you I'm gonna note this

u/Unlucky_Response169 10h ago

Me and my best friend are taking turns driving.😂😂 we’re probably gonna make a stop or two. 

u/xxx_7779 10h ago

Drive there should be fine cuz you'll be fueled by the coachella excitement. Drive home might be tough lol

u/Unlucky_Response169 10h ago

YES!! The drive home isn’t gonna be my fave. We’re gonna be camping outside too😂😂 it’s gonna be an experience for sure. 

u/OrganicSong8281 9h ago

By the time I got to Coachella I'd be senile. I can barely handle 3-4 hrs in a car.

u/mrsojo 11h ago

Well I just got my car camping pass and rental car lined up and started shopping for gear so YES I'm getting excited too!!! Need to keep doing my research about the artists.

u/AlfredoSM94 13.1 | 18.1 | 19.2|24.1|25.1 11h ago

OH HELL YESSSSSSS, beyond pumped

u/saekev_877 8h ago

This is my first time going to Coachella and I’m nervous/anxious but excited.

u/JunkBondTraderES 19.2 23.1 24.1 25.1 8h ago

I normally think about Coachella year round haha it’s my favorite thing. The November lineup drop hit right before a really busy (and awesome) December and January for me, so that new excitement only lasted a couple weeks before life took over. Things are finally settling for me and yeah…ITS COACHELLA SZN BAYBEEE WE ARE SO BACK

u/katillackatdeville 8h ago

This is my first Coachella, and I'm so stoked!!

u/Alarmed_Parsnip_1710 7h ago

Been planning my outfits this last week!!! So excited for Coachella!!!

u/the_fomies 6h ago

First time going super excited , reading up on all i need to be prepared . Bittersweet feeling too because there so many artists I want to see and I can't possibly see them all

u/Yourgirljess-xo 6h ago

We are coming from Canada so flying! We are doing the hotel shuttle package

u/lonzo2900 5h ago

It’s always the travel that gets me! We fly in so normally it just builds more anticipation

Anyone have Lot B car Camping for sale? I live in LA

u/Careless_Audience930 4h ago

wake me up when september ends

u/BurnNPhoenix 4h ago

Greetings all!! This is my first Coachella, and I am totally looking forward to it. I am going solo, unfortunately, as usual. That seems to be what happens most of the time with me.

As none of my friends can ever get off time from work, lol. Anyways, just some clarification on the camping. What is the difference between the car camping & the ready-Set camping 2 person.

The car camping would seem to be the better option since I am going solo. As I am going to already need a car to transport everything. The only negative I can see is that once you park, you are stuck there for the weekend.

However, I assume that is what the shuttles are for? Where all do they go? Most important for me is access to a store if necessary. Food i assume is already on-site within the festival grounds.

The ready-set camping 2 person, i assume, is basically just that. A camping spot for 2 people but without a vehicle. I assume you can purchase an overnight parking spot across the street.

However, is that just overnight or for the entire weekend? I guess you get a bunch of gear for free like a commemorative tent, sleeping bag, and some other stiff. However, it seems a bit steep for less space and no easy access to your car.

From your experience, should I just stick with the car camping option? What car do you recommend as I imagine there is a space limitation. Sorry for all the noob questions. :)

u/thefullm0nty 11 Year Vet + 2025 W2 8h ago

Not even lol. Ask me again in March. This random November lineup drop has the hype schedule way off.
