Airbnb:
Maybe it's far away from the shuttle stop.
Book in advance!
Camping (Car, Tent, Lake):
You live within the venue, so you don’t have to worry about transportation.
But you need to bring your own equipment, such as blankets, pillows, etc. And it’s not convenient to wash up.
Safari Camping:
Fully equipped, private bathroom
Private parking
The price is very high and the choice for those with sufficient budget!
6. Coachella Music Festival Outfit Guide:
- Coachella is located in the desert, so daytime temperatures can reach up to 115ºF/43ºC, so it’s a good idea to bring a lightweight T-shirt, shorts, sandals, and sneakers. Don't forget a hat/hat and tan to avoid overheating and sunburn. NOTE: Temperatures drop 50ºF/10ºC at night, so be prepared with warm clothing (sweaters, jackets, long jeans).
- Girls are recommended to try more uniform suits, street sports style, elegant little dresses, jumpsuits (which are more troublesome to go to the toilet), denim, metallic elements, sequined makeup, etc.
7. Coachella Music Festival Preparation:
- Picnic mat
- Mask (desert areas are dusty!)
- Water cup (if you don’t want to spend money to buy water, you can bring a water cup to collect water)
- Hats, sunglasses and other sun protection products
- power bank
- Bring your debit/credit card with you：there’s something to know before you buy that slice of pizza or strawberry lemonade: Coachella is a cashless event, so you’ll need to bring a debit and/or credit card to make purchases, or use Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Wallet or other contactless cards.
- Handheld Fans（There are so many people at the music festival and the air is stuffy. Our handheld fans come in handy at this time. Don’t miss the discounts during Coachella, event entrance：Click Here）
