Coachella Music Festival Live Stream (Day 3): Weekend 1 with Live Chat
Coachella is now live from Indio, California. Although we can’t all be in Indio for the festival’s first weekend, we can still relish in some high definition live sets from many of the festival’s top acts, courtesy of Coachella's YouTube stream.
Exploring Indio: Day Two at Coachella, the surprise guest is… R.Kelly?
Coachella's Saturday lineup presented a new host of conflicts, while the Sahara and Yuma tents remained stacked with impressive talent, elsewhere in the festival some of most remixed indie bands in dance music were also performing. The Sahara tent would host Baauer, Kill The Noise, Bingo Players, Fedde Le Grand, Moby and more, while Yuma created refuge for fans of 2 Bears and Julio Bashmore. Rather than stay confined to the two dance music tents as promised, we explored the Polo grounds.
The history of Coachella Music Festival: From rocky starts to record-setting sales
If you've ever attended Coachella Arts and Music Festival, you need to thank Eddie Vedder. In 1993, Pearl Jam threw a concert that would inadvertently spark the birth for Coachella Arts and Music Festival. As part of a boycott against Ticketmaster, their management chose a venue in one of America’s hottest and driest locations; one with an undeveloped desert lawn that was several hours driving from any major population centers – Indio’s Empire Polo Club. As Pearl Jam performed in front of 25,000 fans, they proved Indio befitting for a large music festival. Since then the festival has gone through a a variety of growing pains, from struggling during early financial troubles to becoming the highest grossing event of its kind.
