Arrive fresh in Indio.
Flight, train, bus or carpooling: compare the options side by side with your real dates. The idea is to arrive with a bit of battery left — you included.
COACHELLA
The most influential festival in the world, in mid-April 2027 in the California desert: two three-day weekends on the Indio polo grounds, six stages, monumental art installations and around 125,000 people a day.
Coachella 2027
The Coachella festival.
In a nutshell.
Coachella 2027 takes place in mid-April on the polo grounds in Indio, in the Coachella Valley southeast of Los Angeles. Launched in 1999 by Goldenvoice, it runs across two identical three-day weekends: six stages, a lineup spanning pop to rap by way of electronic and rock, monumental art installations, and around 125,000 people a day.
Coachella has become the benchmark every other festival measures itself against: it's where the big comebacks, surprise collaborations and moments that go round the world in hours all happen. The Sahara stage is a temple of electronic music, the Outdoor Theatre and Mojave stages favour discovery, and the giant Ferris wheel serves as a landmark for the whole site.
The setting is part of the experience: palm trees, the San Jacinto mountains, desert light and the cold that drops suddenly at night. Many festival-goers camp on site — in a tent or a car — to experience both weekends as a trip; others stay in Palm Springs, twenty minutes away.

What to wear
Light by day, warm at night
Up to 35°C possible by day, but the temperature drops sharply after sunset in the desert. Sunscreen and a warm layer.
Budget
Pass from ~€480 + travel
The General Admission pass cost $549 to $699 depending on the weekend and tier (fees included), VIP from $1,249; the advance sale is sold out. Add camping (from $160 a car for the four nights), the transatlantic flight and a rental car: Coachella remains one of the most expensive festivals to attend from Europe.

Practical info.
Dates, hours, transport and lodging: what you need to know before you go.
Dates and hours
Two three-day weekends (Friday-Sunday): April 9–11 and April 16–18, 2027 (dates confirmed on the official site). Both weekends feature the same lineup.
Tickets
3-day pass in General Admission ($549 to $699 depending on the weekend and tier, fees included) or VIP (from $1,249), sold through AXS since 1 May 2026. The advance sale is sold out (VIP waitlist). Payment plan available, from a $49 deposit. Official resale goes through the same platform — avoid any other channel.
Cashless payment
The site runs cashless via a connected wristband, linked to a card and rechargeable. Plenty of free water points.
Camping and access
Tent camping and car camping on site, booked separately from the pass. Shuttles from Palm Springs and valley towns. Free parking but some distance away.
Accessibility
Coachella offers a full ADA setup (platforms, access, dedicated services) on request from the organisers.
TransportThe site is in the desert, about two hours from Los Angeles: a car is almost essential.
- By plane
- Flight to Los Angeles (LAX) or, closer, Palm Springs (PSP). From Europe, expect a transatlantic flight with or without a stopover.
- By car
- From LAX, about 2h15 via the I-10 heading east. A rental car is strongly recommended: distances in the valley are large.
- Shuttles
- The festival runs paid shuttles from Palm Springs, Indio, Coachella and several partner hotels. Book them with your pass.
- Parking
- Free parking on site, but the wait to leave can exceed an hour. Car camping avoids this problem.
AccommodationCamp on site, or stay in Palm Springs and the valley.
- Festival camping
- Tent camping and car camping ('Car Camping') on site, with showers and shared areas. The most immersive option, to book early.
- Palm Springs
- Twenty minutes away: hotels, motels and rentals with pools. The most common base for those who don't camp.
- The valley
- Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert: closer to the site, with resorts and lots of holiday rentals.
- Budget
- Everything is expensive during Coachella: rentals double or triple, and many require a multi-night stay. Book months ahead.
DestinationThe California desert is well suited to a road trip before or after the festival.
- Next door
- Joshua Tree National Park (1h north), the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, and the palm oases of the Coachella Valley Preserve.
- Further afield
- Los Angeles and its coast to the west, Las Vegas four hours to the north-east, Death Valley park for the more adventurous.
- Usual weather
- 28 to 35°C by day in mid-April, cool nights (around 12-15°C). Clear skies, very dry air.
