Where is Coachella?
COACHELLA is making its annual return this April.
Music fans who are lucky enough to get their hands on tickets can't be any more excited.
Where is Coachella?
The music event is held in the Coachella Valley in the Riverside County city of Indio, near Palm Springs, California.
It's technically a metropolitan area of LA, although the desert landscape certainly makes it seem barren.
The event has seven different music stages, a giant food hall, and a huge camping area complete with showers, wi-fi, toilets, stores, phone charging stations, and more.
When does Coachella take place?
Coachella will be taking place across two weekends in April 2024.
Lana Del Rey has been announced as the headliner for the first weekend on Friday, April 12, and again on Friday, April 19.
Rapper Tyler, The Creator will headline the Saturday shows on April 13 and 20, while Doja Cat will take to the stage on Sunday's shows on April 14 and 21.

How many people attend Coachella?
Around 500,000 people attend the festival every year.
The return of Coachella in 2022 was highly anticipated after organisers were forced to reschedule the highly-coveted festival four times.
In 2024, about 125,000 festival goers are expected for the first weekend alone.
Tickets, regardless of the expense, are selling like hotcakes online.
How can I get tickets for Coachella?
Because of the A-List acts that perform at the festival, and the stars that attend, the large-scale event is not cheap.
The festival tickets are sold separately for two weekends, and you can choose between many different types of three-day passes.
It is best to sign up at for the most direct and safest opportunities.
