Outdoor, weekend-long musical festivals are an extremely popular way for fans to see their favorite bands. These concerts are massive, and pretty much have musicians performing nearly constantly for a few days. There are many of these music festivals across the country, however arguably one of the most popular ones is the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, simply referred to as “Coachella“.
The weekend long Coachella festival takes place in Indio, California and it consistently features some of the best artists of the current times. The people that book these festivals really know what they are doing, which is why so many people consistently come out. The first Coachella was held in 1999. No event was held in 2000, however since 2001 the festival has occurred every year.
The most recent Coachella brought its attendees such acts as Outkast, The Replacements, Zedd, Ellie Golding, Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, Skrillex, Foster the People, Lorde, Pharrell Williams, The Pet Shop Boys, MGMT, Arcade Fire, Beck, Calvin Harris, Lana Del Ray, and many, many other musical acts. These concerts are extremely popular and pretty much sell out instantly.
Currently within the music industry, unless you are a major pop-star, the best way to make money is through concerts. Due to technology, people do not purchase music as they used to. So the concert and live performance industry has seen exponential growth as artists move towards playing more concerts. At Coachella tickets for the three day event start at $375 dollars and it costs an additional $85 to camp and $30 to park your car for the weekend.
However if you are looking to go all out, then the Four Person Tent & VIP Festival Package is the best the festival has to offer, and the most expensive at $4,700. You and three friends will get access to their “VIP” tenting area where they provide you with a large 4-person safari tent complete with bunks, pillows, and sleeping bags, four VIP guest passes, and overnight parking in a nearby lot. This package gives you the best tickets you can buy, and the easiest form of accommodations that Coachella has to offer as practically everyone camps there. The advantage of this package is pretty self-explanatory and it is the best experience that money can get you.
