Coachella Festival is *sort of* coming to Abu Dhabi
If you're sick of scrolling past your friends over the pond enjoying Coachella while you sit in the office… we've got a fix. It's not quite a flight to Palm Springs, but it's certainly a step in the glittery, paint-splattered, boho-chic direction. Design & Dine – the UAE's resident champs of art-meets-party – are bringing a full-blown Coachella-themed sip and paint session to Abu Dhabi on May 16. This one's got all the festival trimmings: live DJs, sparkles, dressing up and a canvas that won't judge your questionable brush strokes. Yes, you'll actually be painting. No, you don't need to know what you're doing on a canvas as it's super beginner-friendly. There are more than ten music-festival-themed designs to choose from, all inspired by this year's Coachella line-up. It's less 'art school critique' and more 'doodling with flair.' As for the party part? Expect two hours of unlimited drinks (mixed drinks, mocktails, grape, you name it), a gourmet take on street food and a crowd that's part brunch club, part raver city. There's a DJ spinning a crowd-pleasing mix of pop, R&B and indie-electro bangers. Oh and yes – there's a glitter bar. Of course there is. Dress code? Boho. Loud. Shiny. Prizes are on the line, so dig out the feathers and fringe skirts while you still can. And if you want to double up on festie vibes, there's also a Dubai version on May 9. The painting workshop will set you back Dhs199 – paid in advance as a non-refundable, non-transferrable deposit to lock in your spot. Then you've got the brunch side of things: Dhs200 for the soft drinks package or Dhs250 if you're going with premium beverages – both paid directly to the venue on the night. Altogether, you're looking at Dhs399 or Dhs449 depending on how hard you plan to party. This is your official excuse to pretend you're at a music festival – without the jetlag, porta-loos or overpriced tacos. Win-win. From Dhs399. Friday May 16, 7pm-10pm. Saadiyat Beach Club.

Coachella's opening day is here. Follow along live
Happy Coachella! Meet your guides to the weekend After months of waiting, it's finally here. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival kicks off today and we have a team in the desert covering everything: the food, the fun, and, of course, the music. We'll give you updates all weekend long. If there's something you want to see, let us know. (And if you prefer to interact on Reddit, you can ask me over there at r/Coachella.) We asked our team of reporters in the field to tell us what they're most looking forward to this Coachella. 'Finding out what it means for Travis Scott to have 'designed the desert.'' — Mikael Wood, who first Coachella'd in 2005 'Seeing all the classic punks (Glenn Danzig, Keith Morris, Belinda Carlisle) mingling backstage in the hospitality suites next to all the lip filler influencers and crypto bros.' — August Brown, whose first Coachella was 2006, a.k.a. the Daft Punk pyramid year 'Finally crossing the Go-Go's off my concert bucket list.' — Vanessa Franko, whose first Coachella was the Rage Against the Machine reunion in 2007 and has covered every year since 'Reaching elder millennial nirvana at Missy Elliott's set.' — Danielle Dorsey, whose first Coachella was in 2010 and who says, 'I think I've been six or seven years, but what is time?' 'Though I may claim to be 'Brat'-fatigued, seeing Charli XCX command a crowd never gets old.' — Cerys Davies, who first attended Coachella in 2017 'Hearing Mother Monster perform 'Abracadabra' after practicing my 'amor-ooh-na-na's and 'morta-ooh-ga-ga's for two months.' — David Viramontes, who is attending his first Coachella Everything you need to know about this year's Coachella The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio April 11-13 and April 18-20. Festival season is upon us. As our team embarks on its annual trek to the desert to cover Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone, the art, the food and more at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, we have some helpful information and tips. Want to know what to pack? What to eat? What Coachella-themed parties and events are open to the public? How to watch from the comfort of your couch? We got you. The artists you don't want to miss at Coachella on Friday Controversial Irish emcees Moglai Bap and Mo Chara and DJ Provai of Kneecap. Whether you're headed to the festival or watching from home, these are the artists playing Friday at Coachella you don't want to miss. 7 shops and restaurants that show why Indio is a must-see beyond Coachella Downtown Indio is attracting new restaurants and shops. Hundreds of thousands of people descend on Indio each year for Goldenvoice's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach, but few venture beyond the festival grounds. In the past, there wasn't much to do in the desert city besides grab chips and a decadent Tamale Boat from Arriola's Tortilleria or shop at Yellow Mart for western wear or a crossbow. Now, that's all changing. Thanks in part to a business-friendly city government that is investing in art and infrastructure, downtown Indio is growing at an unprecedented pace. New restaurants like Marcel Ramirez's Gabino's Creperie East, Roman Whittaker and Skip Paige's popular gastropub Indio Taphouse and elevated Italian speakeasy Italica are drawing more people to and around the single-street stripthan have been there in decades. Thrifters can shop for vintage goods at Daniel Mata's Urban Donkey, and those looking for an alternative nightlife scene can check out Adrian Romero's Rosemary HiFi to sip beer and natural wines while listening to records on high-end stereo equipment. Read more about where to eat and what to do in Indio outside of the festival. Pack these books for Coachella: Your music festival reading lineup 'Whether you're heading out to Indio, or enjoying the annual exodus of Angelenos, here are some books that give Coachella Valley vibes,' writes Meg Zukin. It's festival season. And no, I don't just mean The Times' Festival of Books happening at the end of the month ( see you at my panel…? ). I'm also talking about Coachella and, unfortunately, Stagecoach . Whether you're heading out to Indio, or enjoying the annual exodus of Angelenos, here are some books that give Coachella Valley vibes. As usual, you'll also find the latest in lit news below, plus, we hop on the phone with the Best Bookstore in Palm Springs . What do you want to know about the Coachella festival? Festivalgoers pose for photos at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Tell us what you want to know about the event. Our crew consists of veterans who have been covering the festival for decades as well as some first-time Coachella attendees.

Coachella 2025: Passes, parties, the livestream and everything you need to know about the festival
Festival season is upon us. As our team embarks on its annual trek to the desert to cover Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone, the art, the food and more at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, we have some helpful information and tips. Want to know what to pack? What to eat? What Coachella-themed parties and events are open to the public? How to watch from the comfort of your couch? We got you. You can follow all of our live updates from Weekend 1 at If you tell us what Coachella questions you have, we may answer them during the weekend. Read more: What do you want to know about the Coachella festival? Coachella 2025 runs April 11-13 and 18-20 at the Empire Polo Club at 81-800 Ave. 51 in Indio. If you have time, don't miss a chance to explore Indio, which has a bunch of new restaurants and shops. Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone top the Coachella lineup, along with Travis Scott. Other notable names at the top of the bill include Charli XCX, Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, Benson Boone, Zedd and solo sets from Blackpink members Lisa and Jennie. Read more: They once thought playing Coachella was 'unattainable' and 'legendary.' Now these SoCal musicians prepare to take its stage Coachella typically drops the set times a couple of days before Weekend 1. This year, set times were announced on the early side on April 5. Also, the set times release included a couple of surprises. Weezer (Weekend 1) and Ed Sheeran (Weekend 2) will each perform a Saturday afternoon set. However, we know that some artists initially announced for the festival have dropped off, including FKA Twigs and Anitta. Read more: Coachella posts set times, with Ed Sheeran and Weezer added You can still buy tickets for both weekends of Coachella as of Monday, April 7. Weekend 1 passes are at a premium, but those available include general admission with a shuttle pass starting at $779. A VIP pass starts at $1,399. Most camping options for Weekend 1 are sold out and only offer a wait list option with the exception of some of the camper pop-up vans that start at $4,900. (Note that the van camping does not include admission to the festival.) Weekend 2 passes start at $599 for general admission, $679 for general admission with a shuttle pass and $1,199 for VIP. (Yes, they are cheaper than Weekend 1 at this point, but there's a tiered system so those prices could increase before Weekend 2.) Car camping is still available for Weekend 2 for $160, as well as some air-conditioned tent options, which start at $2,400, and the previously mentioned camper vans. Those prices include fees but not taxes. Note that you can find passes on the secondary market, but buyer beware. There aren't hard tickets but rather wristbands that need to be activated. Stay away from the sketchy posts that seem like scams. If you're going with an aftermarket site, be sure to check its policies for how it will guarantee your purchase. Nope, not since 2009. If someone is trying to sell you a one-day pass, beware. VIP will not get you on stage. A VIP pass will get you an expedited entrance through the back (along what is typically the yellow path) and has offered a shorter line into the Yuma tent in previous years. VIP tends to have more of the nice, air-conditioned trailer-style portable bathrooms, and there are also exclusive food and beverage spots the hoi polloi can't access. One of the most picturesque spots in the entire venue is in VIP and it's the Rose Garden near the Mojave Tent. There are food and drink spots there, but it's also just beautiful. If you don't want to shell out for VIP, you can access the Rose Garden for a day if you purchase the Outstanding in the Field chef dinner. Read more: They once thought playing Coachella was 'unattainable' and 'legendary.' Now these SoCal musicians prepare to take its stage Every year, people want to know the real deal on the Coachella bathrooms. I think the nicest ones that are always kept up the best are the permanent bathrooms across from the craft beer barn near the Do Lab's usual space. There can be a line, especially later in the evening, but it moves quickly. There's no shortage of portable toilets around the festival grounds, and most banks of them have the nicer air-conditioned trailers near the back, but in 2024 I ran into those being closed off a few times for servicing or not allowing access for non-staff people. You have to reserve one in advance. Weekend 1 is sold out for general admission lockers, but you can still reserve lockers for Weekend 2 for $89 to $109. There are also VIP charging lockers available to those with VIP passes. Those are $89 and $99. Last year we saw the debut of the Quasar stage. It's back for 2025, and there's also a new viewing area near it called the Red Bull Mirage, which has a Nobu omakase pop-up inside. It's $350 for a 50-minute seating and requires reservations. The campgrounds have some new amenities, including the new Desert Sky tent structure and a performance each weekend on Day 0 (slang for the Thursday before each Coachella weekend, when campers arrive). Weekend 1 gets Chris Lake and Weekend 2 gets Disco Dom. There's also the Coachella x Electrolit Campground 5k. If you haven't gotten enough exercise roaming around the Empire Polo Club, you can run with others the Saturday of each festival. The meet-up happens at Desert Sky at 8 a.m. and the run starts 30 minutes later. We're told the run is open to campers only. Read more: 7 shops and restaurants that show why this off-the-radar desert town is a must-see beyond Coachella You name it, Coachella probably has it. We've got a list of the most exciting food and drink vendors coming to Coachella this year. We wrote about the best food at Coachella in 2024, and many of those vendors are returning, including the Goat Mafia. Sadly, you can't bring food inside the festival itself. Do I know some people who have smuggled in a peanut butter sandwich? Yes. Do I know others who had a peanut butter sandwich confiscated? Also yes. And if you've got some extra time, The Times' food team has compiled a list of restaurants to visit around the Coachella Valley. There are multiple refilling stations around the festival and according to Coachella's list of do's and don'ts, you can bring in an empty, plastic, 64-ounce or less, refillable container. No metal, including aluminum and steel, or glass allowed. (Funny enough, the last couple of years Coachella's own water bottles were aluminum.) You can also bring in a hydration backpack but it has to be empty. Since Coachella began, water has been priced at $2 per bottle. Previously, you could bring in a sealed plastic water bottle, but that doesn't appear on the list anymore. I have a few pro tips re: water because dehydration is serious business. Take a bottle of water with you for the walk to the gates. You can stay hydrated and then you have your refillable bottle. I also bring water or a Gatorade-type drink to leave in the car during the day so then there's something for the walk back to the car. When I plan ahead, I freeze them and put them in a cooler so they are still cold at the end of the night. See the full list of what you can and can't bring into Coachella. Read more: 25 of the best restaurants and bars for your Palm Springs road trip I am a big believer in being practical at a festival. Comfortable shoes and socks are a must, and gel insoles can be a nice treat when you're logging miles crisscrossing the field. A good hat is a must because it's hot and if you want to see anything at the Coachella or Outdoor stages, you're getting zero shade. I always have a charging cable and an external battery or two, and while mobile reception is much better than it used to be, it still can get crazy when the field fills up. In the evening/night, I recommend time-stamping texts to friends and also having a prearranged meeting point, such as a numbered and lettered speaker column at the larger stages. A PPE mask is great because one, COVID is still a thing, and two, there's a whole lot of dust. I also always bring a bandanna to help evade the dust and I will pour cold water on it on a hot day and wrap it around my neck to cool off. Oh, and don't forget your earplugs. You can go fancy or pick up a pack at the drugstore. The weather can vary. It looks like we're headed into a hot Weekend 1, and temps could hit triple digits before cooling off a little bit before temperatures rise again for Weekend 2. Even on hot days it can still get cool at night, so I usually throw a sweatshirt in my backpack just in case. General parking at Coachella is free and parking lots open at 11 a.m. daily (gates open around 1 p.m.). Traffic into the venue typically picks up around 3. Getting out of the parking lot takes longer if you stay until the end of the night. If you're departing Indio on Monday and are westbound, you need to leave early in the morning (by 9 a.m.) or after 5 p.m. because that post-Coachella traffic is no joke. Rideshare options are available at Coachella, but I always hear horror stories about the waits. You can also purchase a shuttle pass if you don't want to drive. There are a lot of events happening in the Coachella Valley both weekends that are sponsored by various brands and require an invite that try to say they're not affiliated with Coachella, but let's be honest, the reason they're happening is because everyone's in the desert for Coachella. (Cough, Neon Carnival, cough.) There are some official ticketed events with Coachella artists you can see without paying Coachella prices. The Goldenvoice Surf Club daytime events return to the Palm Springs Surf Club April 12-13 and 19-20 with music and a surf competition. Weekend 1 performers include Sammy Virji, Chris Lorenzo, Fcukers (DJ Set), ATRIP, Sara Landry, Rico Nasty, VTSS and Kitty Ca$h. The Weekend 2 musical lineup includes Polo & Pan (DJ Set), Ben Böhmer, Maribou State (DJ Set), Josh Conway (The Marías), Eli Brown, Max Styler and Massano. Passes start at $49 and it's limited to guests 21 and older. Visit for information. Framework in the Desert is back at the Atlantic Aviation airport hangar in Thermal April 11-13 for a big house and techno afterparty. The lineup includes Chris Lake, Deadmau5 and Hills on Friday; Mau P, Max Styler, Interplanetary Criminal and Erez on Saturday and Alesso under his Body Hi moniker with Francis Mercier, Layton Giordani and Miluhska on Sunday. Passes are $84.46 per day or $213.21 for a three-day pass, and it's limited to those 21 and older. Visit for more information. The Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs isn't hosting its usual slate of events after a months-long renovation, but there are a couple of things on the books there, including poolside DJs each day and an exhibition from multimedia artist Latashá, as part of Ace's Artist in Residence program. There's also the "MuSick: Live from Reggie Watts' Couch," activation that's part of an Amazon Pharmacy and Amazon One Medical promotion and will include a set from Neil Frances. It runs from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and is free for those who register. There's a free show from De'Wayne, Julia Wolf and The 27's from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 10, at Big Rock Pub in Indio that's part of Alt 101.5 FM's Coachella pre-party, and they're apparently giving away some Coachella wristbands, too. If you aren't headed to Indio, you can watch Coachella from your couch. Performances from both weekends will be streamed on YouTube. Typically there's a feed for each stage (but usually Sonora is Weekend 1 and Yuma is Weekend 2) and you can switch between them. Which artists will be streamed each weekend will be announced closer to the show.
