Desert music and arts festival Coachella returns after two-year hiatus.
Coachella tests you, every time, in myriad ways. The wind, the crowds, the vast distances – photos can never do justice to the queen of the desert; it’s too big. Something like a mile by a half-mile. The tents are crazy big, on the order of a hundred yards squared, and then there’s the Sahara Tent, a massive man-made structure bristling with light rigging and looking like nothing so much as a piece of space hardware, only there’s 20,000 dancing, smoking people inside it.
Most people don’t know that Weekend 2 Coachella-goers have a whole different experience. Sure, Lizzo and Kendrick Lamar popped up on Friday on the main stage with Harry, but for the most part, it’s slim pickings guest appearance-wise. There’s no Shania Twain with Harry Styles, no Damon Albarn with Billie Eilish. And, there’s no Arcade Fire set, period. They never showed up for this past weekend, despite being a late addition the week prior. OK, well, Lizza did pop up at Harry's set. At 1 a.
If there was a big negative this year, it’s the creeping sensation that Coachella is moving toward an experience for the 1 Percenters. Each year, the terraces and beer garden adjoining the main stage field seem to contract more and more. It’s gotten so bad now that thirsty folks have to leave the area entirely, walk a quarter-mile away to use the restroom. Is it like this in VIP land? I doubt it. And then there are the prices.
