Coachella is back! After 2 years of COVID cancellations, the music festival returns today. Your Coachella preview - now on ABC7

INDIO, Calif. -- After two years of cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of people will flock to the Empire Polo Club beginning Friday for the first weekend of the Coachella Music & Art Festival, headlined by Harry Styles, Billie Eilish and Swedish House Mafia with The Weeknd.

Festival organizers also reminded attendees of anticipated high winds Friday morning that could kick up blowing dust -- something that masking can also protect against. As the In Bloom seed NFT blossoms into a desert flower, owners could get one of six rare flowers that can grant them premium upgrades at the festival. Upgrades include a 2023 weekend-two general admission festival pass, premium merchandise, access to the FTX VIP Lounge, Ferris wheel rides, Goldenvoice Concert Tickets or a 2022 VIP upgrade.

Ye -- the rapper formerly known as Kanye West -- pulled out of his headlining spot last week, threatening to unravel the performance lineup. But The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia were more than willing to step in to fill the void.
