Gearing up for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival -which has been extended to two weekends- will feature hip-hop headliners Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, experimental rock band Radiohead and blues rock duo The Black Keys.

  1. Hundreds of acts will converge in the desert with scores of thousands of fans for two sold-out weekends starting today. Those who forked over roughly $300 for the weekend pass received their wristbands in unique packaging this year.
  2. The move to make it two weekends had lnland Empire venues reaping in the benefits.
  3. Music fans are drawn to the festival for its ability to line up an eclectic mix of mainstream acts alongside with up-and-coming band/performers.
  4. Coachella is the place to be introduced to new artists and art.
  5. By Thursday, discussions about the festival was dominating the internet.
  6. For the next 96 hours I guarantee you there's going to be a Coachella related tweet every minute.
  7. When did people start asking "What are you doing for Coachella?" in the same way they ask, "What are you doing for Christmas?"
  8. Earlier in the week the focus was on the line up as everyone anxiously awaited the set times to be released. And as usual, the set times didn't please everyone.
  9. RT @coachella: Sun setting over the polo fields. Get your beauty sleep tonight kids, this weekend's going to be legit! #coachella
  10. @daisi_rae @_a_boss_ @coachella ABOUT TIME! Now I can plan my whole life. Bahahaha. Sad thing I'm gonna miss one performance :(
  11. My heart is slowly breaking while looking at the set times for Coachella. Terrrrible coordinating. :(
  12. I fear I may die at #Coachella on Saturday trying to catch everyone I want to see.
  13. Not everyone can make the trek to the annual music and arts festival.
  14. RT @abetco: one day in the near future i shall go to Coachella & then everything will fall into place
