Coachella

I was fortunate enough to go to Indio Valley this weekend for the Annual Coachella Festival and it was AMAZING!! For people who are not familiar with Coachella, it is a music festival with over 60 artists who perform all genres and have their own performances at the three day festival. This year it was held from April 16 to April 18. It was the first year that the business minds behind Coachella only sold three day pass wristbands for a whopping $300. And guess What!?!?!?!?! Coachella even SOLD OUT! That's ridiculous! People have estimated that 75,000 people showed up for Coachella, however, being an attendee of the music festival, I thought there were a lot more people there (considering the fact that many of them snuck in). I witnessed so many people sneaking in and running away from security and I even saw some young women who was unsuccessful at sneaking in that was forced to the ground by security. My favorite performance was by Jay-Z because he is a natural performer and engages his fans. He brought Beyonce as a surprise, who was PHENOMENAL, and I think I would have paid $300 just to see that. Other performers such as Pheoneix, Infected Mushrooms, Benny Bennassi, David Guetta, Caskade and many more were also great. I hope to go next year and see who the surprise guests are going to be.
