, what surprises shook us, whose sets slapped hardest, whose was trash, whose festival fit was fire and, if we're all lucky, who broke the internet.
It’s undeniable and inescapable: Coachella's a big deal. And even if music, celebrities and festival fashion aren't your jam, it can't hurt to bone up on Coachella so you don't totally miss the discourse.

The crowd watches as DJ Khaled performs at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif.For those six days, the club's fields become a playground for music lovers of all kinds. Unlike many festivals, Coachella doesn't cater to a specific genre or even era of music, instead spoiling its visitors with tough choices of which stage to visit at each turn.
Coachella has worked to establish a reputation for serving up one of the most eclectic lineups of the music festival circuit, with headlining artists representing genres as wide ranging as rock, hip-hop, pop, electronic, R&B, indie, punk and more, as well as acts coming from every corner of the globe. Think of your top five recording artists from the past 30 years and chances are strong that most have played Coachella at some point.
The festival takes place at the Empire Polo Club, which has 78 palm-fringed acres that have been home to the festival since it launched in 1999. Empire Polo Club hosts events year round, ranging from actual polo tournaments and lacrosse festivals to dog shows and music festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach. During Coachella, Empire Polo Club's grounds swell to encompass nearly 650 acres, much of that used for camping and parking.
