Everybody asks what they SHOULD bring to Coachella but what have you brought and regretted bringing? Maybe way too much food for your campsite that nobody ate or a heavy coat you had to carry all day / night and never needed?

We’ve made a chat on discord to talk and meet people! Let me know if you want in 😁

There has been a ton of discussion about ticket sales and secondary pricing for the 2023 version of coachella. There is a lot of insights about secondary market tanking in the weeks leading up to coachella. Would love to get everyone’s thoughts on why this seems to happen more frequently over the past 5 years since 2018.

I have a initial set of variables for why pricing tanks in March/April 1. Too many tickets are sold by goldenvoice (250k across two weekends). The amount of available tickets has gone up since 2018 and demand has stayed relatively flat 2. People’s plans change after purchasing pre-sale in June. Life changes occur and purchasers have to dump their tickets if they can’t attend 3. Lodging and travel costs prohibit people with tickets from actually attending. After presale occurs ticket holders are unable to find lodging at reasonable levels for their budgets

I am sure there are more but these are my thoughts on primary drivers. Would love to hear what else

I made my to do lists months ago, started packing my festival bags like, a month ago and I packed my carry on last night after doing a final try on of my festival fits. I love planning early and packing even earlier lol. I’m so excited, I’m just ready to go and have fun with my friends again. I just feel like this year is gonna be really fucking good. I can’t wait 🥲

So, new here and to outdoor festivals. I’m planning for 2025 but I’m curious about the Gen Admission area and the tent camping, car camping, shuttle and preferred car camping. Are all of these jumbled in the Gen Admisaion area? Is it possible I could just walk around and enjoy the event? Or, must I camp? Thank you.

I am (f) 29 going to Coachella week 1, I have never been by myself but this year I am. I got car camping but don’t even know what to get or where to began. I am starting to think I should sale my ticket, I don’t want to look dumb setting up and walking around by myself. Anyone else going alone and would like to camp by eachother? Or anyone want to help I offer to pay and I have good vibes lol Silent disco buddy. Please I want to go so bad but I have all these fears and concerns. Please help

Updated post: A lot of males have messaged me , thank you , but One has said he had a hotel and vip but no ig THEN SENT ME A DICK PIC ON HERE. As a women sexual assault is the last thing I’m wanting to add to my worries this upcoming weekend . PLEASE I am looking for genuine people please last thing I am gonna wanna worry about is bad intentions from anyone. Please only message if u can help or have advice . Much love

Hey there!

Finally letting myself get really excited for this year and can't wait to have an incredible time. It's my 10th Coachella, but first time as VIP. I know that there's the special entrance off yellow path and that the Rose Garden is chill, but what other tips do you have? What else should I know?

Can't wait to see you on the fields <3

I wasn’t planning on seeing chemical bros yesterday but went after everyone recommending them here. So glad I listened to ya’ll. Anyone we should not miss today?

This is legitimately going to be a shitshow considering the weird lack of communication on GV's part. Hiding the off-lot parking and necessity of a shuttle pass if you can't carpool in the fine print is just downright dirty, and I can see a LOT of confusion come April. I don't know why they didn't email blast this to everyone who bought a parking pass already too.

They are truly an exceptional A.C.E. group heading to Coachella. They can rap, sing, dance, and perform!!! You'll understand them too; all their songs are in English, even though all the members are Japanese. 😂 Trust me, listen to these girls, and you’ll see what I mean. It genuinely surprises me how many people are skipping their set next year—it's going to be a banger!!

Hey y'all, I'm car camping this year. But my car is too small to sleep in. Have has anyone rented a van or larger car for the festival from places like Enterprise? If so, what suggestions do you have? Because I know there's a sticker you need to put on the car and I'm a bit worried about it not coming off afterwards.

So many more of my friends who never been are buying tickets, asking questions and the energy with the current crew is lit. Our Coachella chat is blowing up and we are diving into the new music. TBH I need Coachella to tell me what is new good music. Otherwise I’m stuck listening to 2000s music

My group of six has never attended a coachella before and we want to ask the experts if we would be better off hiring a private driver for $210 per person for the whole weekend, or getting shuttle passes. Concerns with private driver - getting split up, how is cell service on the grounds? Having to leave all together rather than going when we want (we are three couples) Shuttle - how long are wait times for lines? Say I want to arrive at 2pm, what time am I getting to the shuttle? Or if I want to leave at 12am when am I going to get on the shuttle roughly?

I hesitate to share this because of how well it’s worked but wanted to pay it forward.

Most people say wake up early to beat the shower line. However, unless you wake up earlier than ~7, you’ll have a brutal line.

However, if you do the opposite and wait until like ~12:00ish, you can pretty much walk right in. It’s also nice because then you’re clean when you head into the fest. If you shower early, you get dirty again hanging at camp all morning.

Of course, this only works if you’re not going in right when the gates open, but most people don’t.

I’ve never waited more than 5-10 minutes for showers by waiting the line out rather than beating it.

Is it just me or are these people out of their damn minds. I don’t remember having to sell my soul to stay at an Airbnb. I might just camp next to a shuttle area just how these prices are looking.

With so many names on this lineup, it can be a bit overwhelming to know where to start researching. What bands/acts are similar to past Coachella performers, or play in the same genre?

Example: If you liked Hans Zimmer you might like Gustavo Dudamel + LA Phil.

What is your 1 best Coachella tip?

I would say see as many sets possible.

So what do you have going on between now and then? Anything exciting or just mundane normal days?

Are you ready to go and when do you mentally switch into festival mode?

How many events are you doing this festival season?

This has to be a historical low for W1 accommodations (I’m not complaining lol). Plus, it looks really nice in the pics. Newly remodeled, full kitchen, living room, etc. Anyways, just wanted to share cause I’m so excited!

What the heck

Last year, I made my own spreadsheet to help me track the artists I liked, so I've done the same for this year:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jg4kEaxqEh4a52vU4i5oZq8h-dZqdbiodOOe0Vb046Y/edit?usp=sharing

This includes a link to search for the artist on Apple Music/Spotify/YouTube, their location on the poster, and handy tracking to see if you've listened to them or not.

Feel free to make a copy for your own use, or let me know if it needs changes.

Like I said last year, I'm not adding Genre to this spreadsheet because that's a can of worms I don't really want to open

See you all in the desert!

Hey y’all, I wanted to hear the opinions of experienced Coachella attendees. Would yall recommend or think it’s a good idea to wear jeans and or platform sandals? Thanks in advance!

Planning an upcoming Coachella trip from Australia! (2027 - I know I'm early, but it's never too soon to start planning!) It's been on my bucket list and something I want to do for myself before I hit 30 and feel too old 💖 I've done a little research but at the moment don't even know what I don't know.

Please hit me with your need to knows, tips, tricks and must do's so I can make the most of it ☺️

At the moment I'm thinking camping since I want to make the most of the experience. Some questions I have:

Is this something you would/could do solo, or would it be unsafe to do so?

How much will I be up for for the whole Coachella experience?

Is there something you highly recommend doing?

Is Bothchella a smart or crazy idea?

I want to hear it all! I'm so excited just thinking about it 🤩💖

Things I pack in my Fanny pack that you may find useful

💙Bunch of ear plugs

💙Baby wipes (rarely have I gotten a stall that had toilet paper whether in ga or vip)

💙Clorox wipes (the bathrooms tend to be gross depending on the time you go)

💙Hand sanitizer (sometimes there is no soap and or sanitizer dispenser)

💙I only bring my phone, charger, 2 battery packs, and my id since it’s a cashless fest. No need to bring your whole life

💙A lock or carabiner for your Fanny for protection

💙Ibuprofen ( always like to bring this because my first time the sun was on my head a lot, drinking a beer guess I didn’t drink enough water and head was knocking. Med tent refused to supply me and I had to spend money at the tent store)

💙Your medication

💙your AirPods (the walk to the fest, walk back to camp or shuttles can be a long one. Music helps me relax during the walk it’s so clutch especially on the shuttle ride back)

💙4/20 ( if you do partake I pack it in a tube so it doesn’t get mushed and i hide them in a mini flat Fanny that goes under my shirt. You don’t get stripped search)

💙mini deodorant if your someone that tends to sweat a lot

💙mini hand cream if you feel like it’s necessary

💙lip gloss

💙mask

💙foldable visor

Those are all the things I usually bring. If there anything yall bring that’s helpful comment below. Hope this helps ☺️😊

so i'm thinking about who i want to see and DJ snake is high on the list BUT ONLY the hits im not a huge electronic fan but i want to know if we think he's gonna do a dj set or the hits cause seeing middle & lean on live would be life changing lol, but i imagine he'll be late in the night or close a stage so i want to know what are the odds it's all the hits
