The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert.
The success of Coachella in its early years proved that American music festivals could work and succeed in a destination form, as opposed to a traveling festival. In the years following Coachella's success, many other festivals have followed in its footsteps, copying its format as a destination festival with multiple stages, attractions, art, and camping.Coachella is considered a trendsetter in music and fashion. Every Coachella festival has different artists, people and events, gathering thousands of people from various nationalities.
