Coachella kicks off with travel nightmare as festivalgoers complain of 12-hour wait to get to campgrounds
Held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival takes place from April 11-13 and boasts headliners including Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone and Travis Scott. The lineup of artists both renowned and up-and-coming will do it all over again the following weekend, from April 18-20. Excitement among some attendees caught in traffic, however, has been waning. Online, festival attendees are sharing their frustrations over the long wait times, with some even threatening not to return next year.
Yahoo Entertainment contacted Coachella for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Some attendees planned to arrive early Thursday morning, thinking they would avoid heavy traffic on the way into the campgrounds. Instead, festivalgoers said they were forced to push their cars in line due to either running out of gas or their car battery dying.
A Coachella attendee named Liss described her car camping experience both 'disappointing' and 'extremely dehumanizing.' In a TikTok video, which was posted on April 10 and has more than 837,000 views, Liss said she showed up for the camping line at 3 a.m., and had been waiting in her car for 10 hours with no access to water or restrooms. By 1 p.m., she still hadn't gone through security.
'It's 100°F outside, people's cars are overheating, they're running out of gas. There are no bathrooms anywhere for us to use. There's staff porta potties people are being denied access to. People have been waiting in their car for 10+ hours. People have literally been using the bathroom behind bushes like animals, and they paid over 600 dollars to be here,' she said.
The X account for Festive Owl, a website dedicated to sharing festival news, posted a message from a Coachella camper who criticized this year as having 'the worst organization I have ever seen at a festival.'
Some attendees are even comparing Coachella 2025 to the disastrous Fyre Festival of 2017, when attendees were stranded in the Bahamas without basic necessities like food and water. Organized by convicted fraudster Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule, the festival was marketed as a luxurious experience on a private island — but failed to deliver on its promise.
'I'm starting to think this is the Fyre Festival,' a TikTok user by the name of Lara, who had been waiting 10 hours to get to the campsite, said in a video. 'Coachella car camping or fyre fest 2.0,' said another.
Dante San Miguel, another Coachella attendee forced to endure long wait times, said he had been waiting in his car for over two hours without being told exactly where to go.
'People are just setting up their campsites in random spots, even though that's for sure not where we're supposed to be camping at,' he said in a TikTok video posted on April 10. 'Last year it took us like 15 minutes to get to our camping spot. This year, there's not a staff member in sight.'
Lex, another TikTok creator, shared a video showing her friend direct traffic because 'Coachella is understaffed.'
Coachella ticket holder and on-site camper Leidy Nguyen wrote on TikTok that she suspects the car camping fiasco was as bad as it was because 'the staffing was clearly low.' Nguyen was in line at 4 a.m. but didn't get to the campground until 1 p.m.
'We had no one directing us once we got close to the campgrounds,' she wrote of Coachella's first weekend. 'I even saw a staff member get taken to the medic tent for dehydration. A couple of workers I spoke to were so disoriented and out of it, I was genuinely concerned.'
Nguyen acknowledged that while getting into car camping typically 'takes a while,' a nine-hour wait in the desert with zero direction 'wasn't just frustrating — it felt dangerous.'
On the Coachella subreddit, veteran festival attendees have pointed out that the level of chaos just to get onto the campgrounds is atypical. One redditor called Coachella 'the gold standard of how well a festival can be organized,' while another noted that this year's car camping fiasco was reminiscent of 2010, when it took 12 hours to get to the campsite — but that it had been 'smooth sailing since then.'
In an effort to avoid disastrous traffic in the desert, some Coachella attendees are forgoing the drive altogether — and are flying instead.
JSX, a public charter jet service, launched a limited-time 'pop-up' flight from Burbank to Thermal, Calif., which is within Coachella Valley, starting at $399 each way. The intention, according to Ben Kaufman, the senior director of customer experience and corporate communications at JSX, is for festivalgoers to circumvent bumper-to-bumper traffic.
'JSX is pleased with the response to its pop-up flights between Burbank and Thermal,' Kaufman said in a statement to Yahoo. 'Offering these pop-up flights is exactly what the JSX business model is primed for — to effortlessly connect people to the cultural moments they value most.'
But air travel isn't a viable solution for everyone. Attendees who don't have the money to fly are forced to contend with gridlock traffic.
While wait times headed into the desert and the campgrounds appear to have eased up, fans attending weekend two are wary of the car camping conditions they might encounter. With a week to go, they're hoping that the festival will sort out its organizational issues by then.

Matt Rife purchases Ed, Lorraine Warren's Connecticut home and museum -- becomes guardian of demonic 'Annabelle' doll
Comedian Matt Rife's new purchase is ha-ha-haunted. Rife revealed Friday that he purchased the Connecticut home and occult museum of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, becoming the 'legal guardian' of the famed Annabelle doll. The stand-up comic, who bought the house alongside his pal and YouTube star Elton Castee, called the centuries-old farmhouse the 'most important and prominent pieces of paranormal history in the world.' 'Ed and Lorraine Warren are who took demonology, ghost hunting and paranormal investigation and made it mainstream,' Rife told his TikTok followers. @matt_rife INSANE ANNOUNCEMENT 😍🤯😈👹 I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren's home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @Elton Castee !! If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with the paranormal and all things haunted. You also may know The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time. So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history. Ed and Lorain Warren arguably put demonology and paranormal into the mainstream and are the very heart of some of the most famous haunted stories of all time, The Conjuring House, Amityville Horror, et… We plan to open the house for overnight stays and museum tours so you yourself can experience and learn all the haunted history surrounding this amazing place. #TheConjuring #Annabelle #AnnabelleDoll #haunted ♬ original sound – Matt Rife The Monroe, Conn. home was once owned by the real-life couple who conducted over 3,000 paranormal investigations that inspired movies like 'The Conjuring' and 'The Amityville Horror.' 'The Conjuring films are my favorite scary movies of all time,' Rife shared. 'So I'm incredibly honored to have taken over one of the most prominent properties in paranormal history.' Rife did not reveal how much he spent on his purchase. Haunted relics from the Warrens' adventures remained on the property after their death including fragments of crashed Eastern Airlines Flight 401 and an organ that can play on its own. The museum also houses Annabelle, the giant Raggedy Ann doll, which was kept locked in a case labeled 'Warning: Positively Do Not Open.' 5 Matt Rife and Elton Castee stand next to the cursed Annabelle doll. Comedian Matt Rife/Facebook 5 The real Annabelle doll was obtained by Ed and Lorraine Warren. Comedian Matt Rife/Facebook The doll is believed to have a 'demonic' presence attached to it after it allegedly terrorized two roommates in the 1970s by mysteriously moving by itself, leaving creepy notes and it was accused of trying to strangle a friend sleeping in the apartment. Most recently, it was part of the 'Devils on the Run Tour,' hosted by paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who died suddenly in his hotel room on July 13. Rivera was traveling around the US with other members of the New England Society for Psychic Research to show off Annabelle as part of his tour. The doll was not in the room when he died and state police claim 'nothing unusual or suspicious' was found at the scene. 5 The doll inspired the horror movie 'Annabelle.' Comedian Matt Rife/Facebook Rivera's cause of death has not yet been released. The recent incident has not stopped Rife from leaning into his new 'hobby.' 'We are the legal guardians and caretakers of all 750 haunted artifacts and items in the Warren museum including the Annabelle doll,' Rife said. 'We don't legally own the items, but we are legal guardians and caretakers of the items for at least the next five years.' The 'Wild 'N Out' improviser plans to reopen the haunted doors for museum tours and overnight stays to 'learn all the haunted history surrounding this amazing place.' 5 Ed and Lorraine's museum full of haunted relics is not currently open to the public. 'This is the most random hobby ever, but it's so f—ing cool, man. I should probably collect stamps or something,' Rife quipped. 'Might be a little safer.' The new owners will likely have to fix up the property's fire-safety issues before they can share it, according to The Providence Journal. 5 Comedian Matt Rife joked that he needs to find a 'safer' hobby. TikTok 'Still can't believe we're the new owners… Sitting on their porch now looking at all the photos of them at this house. We're gonna make this the best paranormal investigation location on the planet,' co-owner Elton Castee commented under Rife's announcement. The home and museum were not open to the public in recent years after it was shut down in 2019 due to zoning issues.
