The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, or simply Coachella, is a three-day annual music festival held in Indio, California. This festival features artists covering various music and art genres. Here, hip hop, pop, alternative rock, punk rock, and electronic music mix quite well. This is also the place for abstract paintings, large sculptural art, and other works of art.
The festival officially began on October 9 and 10 of 1999. Still, it wasnít until 2003 that the festival would gain worldwide recognition and interest. It was that year that the crowd featured big names as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Beastie Boys. More artists soon graced the festivals. Still, the festival often features music artists who have never performed in the festival yet ñ to keep the festival fresh and unique.
In contrast, a lot of the visual artists in the festival have been featured for several years already. Art pieces in the festival are often interactive. Camping was also introduced since 2003.
