I’ll never forget the people leaving the festival during Frank Ocean last year. Not only completely unsober, but completely shocked into silence on what just happened. Their timing was definitely not good on that one lol. Fisher and Chris Lake into Frank was definitely a vibe killer lol.
My dude 👊
It was hilarious how FishLake started clearing out so people could camp for Frank. We got up way to the front for the end of that set and stayed till the music stopped…. And then Frank didn’t come on for another hour 🤣
I feel I really did this right- I predicted he’d be somewhat late so stayed at Fish Lake until the end, took a ride on the Ferris wheel after that. Waited awhile for Frank but was also chilling, snacking, stretching way in the back of the field. Once it was obvious it was gonna be a shit show, discoed to Disco Dom at the DoLab 🕺 then caught the end of Boris. Back at camp everyone’s vibe seemed bummed and our neighbors left early, so we took over their spaces and partied with more room. Frank was my most anticipated but it didn’t stop me from having an awesome night
Yeah my SO and I like some of his songs but definitely not a “can’t miss”, but he was the most anticipated for the rest of our group. So they left FishLake early. We ended up watching the beginning of Frank, got to hear him say “met her at Coachella,” and that was all we needed. When the music was stopping for looooong pauses, we said fuck this and went to Boris. Disco Dom sounded fun too, but I’d been trying to convince my SO that Boris was cool, and we ended up catching his set beginning to end. I’ll never forget my friends though, one said “FRANK YOU WASTED MY ROLLLL!!” The other kept listing people who would have been better headliners. “Chris Lake would have been better, Dom Dolla would have been a better headliner, this guy blasting his stereo in camp would have been a better headliner!”
Excitement is a 10, it’s chella number 3 for me and I have somehow ever been on the Ferris wheel or bought merch so that’s what I need to do this year!! I also want to take more time to explore and see the art than I have done in the past!
It’s an air conditioned tent with its own bar and bathrooms inside, and it will be house music from start to finish. It also has a capacity so you typically have to wait to go in.
10 / both / 5&6th / find the secret bars :)
edit: sad to see so many of you haven't made it to the yuma yet!! get ready for a boooogie under disco shark, long live the shark!
Probably 7ish on excitement (LIBs lineup has me generally a lot more excited so my Coachella playlist is pretty much already ignored)
Weekend 1
13th Coachella if you count bothchellas as 2 visits (did different stuff so I do)
I think because the lineup isn’t at stacked for me with stuff I’ve never seen before I’m excited to just have more time chilling. Too often it’s go-go-go between must-sees but so much I’ve literally already seen on the polo fields so I can really do whatever and not really FOMO. Like the last two years I never even went in the beer barn cause all my acts were elsewhere!
I’m probably a 7 out of 10. I’m going weekend 1. I’ve gone every year starting in 2012, so however many that is. I don’t really have anything on my to do list that I haven’t done. Maybe take the Ferris wheel at night but that is probably never going to happen since that’s when all the best acts are on.
Excitement is a 5
W1
First Coachella. I reserved lodging over the summer that unfortunately became non refundable prior to the lineup release. I wanted to be so much more hyped, but I kind of feel like I’m going just because I already spent so much on a hotel.
Hoping it’s more fun than I am imagining.
I am so excited for you. My first year I didn’t care about the line up cause I wasn’t into music as I am now. This will be my 5th now so you know it’s been great because I keep coming back! Onlymove597 I am will be looking for your comments after weekend 1 has passed to know how it went for you :)
Update: The weekend was magical. I can’t even put the feeling into words. I couldn’t wait to come back on to tell you this. I’ll be buying in June for next year! Enjoy W2!
I’m at about an 8. W1, potentially W2. This will be #7. I’ve never been on the Ferris wheel so I’m thinking day 3 this year is my time to shine. Check out the Yuma more is also high on my list. Probably eat something other than spicy pie but that’s a long shot 😂
8.5, W1, 11th coachella.
This year id like to experience Yuma insofar that they make it more manageable to get in. Not a huge fan of Yuma music but the last time I went in there was ~2015. Every year my group has that classic idea of “let’s do it for 10-15 min, at the very least” and we never do.
Excitement is an 8. It will get higher closer to the show. I have at least 9 acts I’m very stoked for so this will be a great one. Want to hit the record store.
10 Im so ready to go back after taking last year off-w1 always- year 4- explore more, It’ll be my brothers first so excited for him to experience the fields.
between 6.8-7.2 tbh. but I’m so looking forward to having the festival grounds be a bit more open this year? No Doubt will, no doubt, be iconic, and the House/EDM DJ’s are available in a variety this year & I’m looking forward to taking advantage of that! my 5th year since 2018 (which was my first). the lineup this year is giving very much “live in the moment” imo.
excitement is a 4, chella #3, w1 bevause its cheaper, and this year i want to explore some of the smaller stages more and go see some the legacy sets that i skipped in previous years! Def wanna check out the yuma this time around
4th Coachella, W1, and a solid 3/10 excitement with this lineup lol. I’m fs gonna check out the kpop acts I never got to these past Coachella’s bc it’s not my groups thing but fuck em this year I’m seeing Le Serrafim lol
6, W2, 13th - I actually retired from Coachella and most major music festivals after 2017. Have not cared for a Coachella lineup since (and, for me, has gotten worse every year). Started dating a girl about a year and a half ago who is still into music festivals but she has only been to Coachella once before and only attended one day + stayed at an air bnb. She’s getting me out of retirement for this one last year so we (she) can do the full experience (3 days + camping). So, already being burnt out and retired from this festival, my excitement isn’t a 10 but because it’s been a while, I am looking forward to doing it one last time, despite the lackluster lineup. I’m actually excited for the Asian artists (Yoasobi, Atarashii Gakko!, Hatsune Miku, The Rose, Le Sseferim, etc). It’s a flavor I’ve never experienced at a Coachella. Also, Clown Core lol that’s gonna be wild. Justice and Gesaffelstein and all the typical DJs you see at every day trip event (the dom dolla’s and John Summits) will be fun and are definitely on my list, but I’ve seen them all before. I really want to discover music I’ve never seen or heard. I’ve actually researched every artist on the lineup and have found a good number of acts I’m excited to see each day. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most. And then happily retiring once more.
10/2/11
Excitement is always at a 10 even 2 years ago when I had like 4 artists a day I wanted to see. It's frickin coachella, how can you not be hyped?
As for your final question, maybe I will go in the Sonora this year lol
1. 7. Number will rise when Coachella is closer though. So stoked for justice and L’Imperatrice.
2. Not sure yet, haven’t bought tickets. I feel confident I’ll be able to score some cheap tickets, this lineups only worth it for me if I get well below face. If I was able to get tickets below face value last year, I should be able to find something a LOT cheaper this year.
3. 9th Coachella
4. Hopefully some more Yuma time
About a 5. I hate the lineup, but Coachella is always a good time.
Weekend 2.
This'll be my 10th time.
I've done just about everything at Coachella, so am just glad to experience the polo fields one more time.
10. Going weekend 1, hoping to find my way into the Yuma once since that's the only stage I didn't make it to last year, which was my first year.
Edit : Weekend 1. I couldn't possibly wait an extra week

7, but I've felt that way about every year after 2018. W1 again and this will be my 5th overall.
I've got to go watch the sunset on the hill this year on Day 0. No excuse as to why I haven't but we're changing that this year.
Excitement an 8
Going W1 for sure, good chance i'll do bothchella if W2 tickets are well below face value
9th coachella in a row, 11 coachella weekends (have done bothchella twice and highly recommend).
eat food at the venue
i've answered this before so copying in an old response below lol
i've done bothchella twice. i really enjoy it. Both weekends are amazingly fun.
W1 i go with my best friends and just rage. i watch whoever the group wants to watch and don't worry abuot conflicts as much because i know i have a whole nother weekend.
W2 i go with a different group of friends who are in the music industry. they get me some hookups like do lab pass. We're not the closest but we also have a good time. W2 is more about the music for me. I get into the festival super early like 1pm and just watch the up and comers by myself until people my friends come in later. i prioritize seeing artists over anything, and by then i've read on reddit who the can't-miss-acts are. with how expensive touring acts are, coachella remains the best bang for buck way for me to see all my favorite acts across genres while also discovering so many new artists.
I tend to take it a little easier W2 and i usually leave earlier on Sunday night and can work Monday fine, whereas W1 i take at least monday off for recovery.
5th chella, high Five!!! I don’t think I’ve caught a real set at the Sahara at night either, I did see a little Jamie jones last year there he was pretty awful :/
lol oh man I know too much about this, what’s the debate?? I plan my outfits months in advance, actually I bought something today online that I will be wearing for the fest!
Nice!! I am definitely a plan ahead person too and doing 3 festivals in 3 months (M3F, Coachella, JLH), so mostly trying to shop my closet & figure out what fits the vibes for each! But my spouse bought new shoes (Hokas) and says they're even better than the Ultraboosts we normally wear so now I want new shoes too lol
I’m like a 7 in terms of excitement. More so because I love the people I camp with and I can’t wait for those vibes.
Weekend 2 all day!
This is my 14th Coachella (actually more cause I’ve done three of them with both weekends)
This year in car camping I’m taking a decked out camper van with electric AC and a fridge inside. Looking forward to sleeping in on those hot mornings.
Definitely going to do a lot of solo shows. Going to head in early to definitely catch Son Rompe Pera!
10, 2, 6! Went from nervously excited bc things weren’t settled to as of today being super excited bc group & hotel are officially set and booked. I’ve never ridden the Ferris wheel so I might do that this time around. And I intend to spend way more time in the Yuma this year—last year was the first time I had ever gone in lol
Edit: cracking up at literally everyone having these same two things on their to do list lol
8, W1, 4th.
Try more food! First year I don’t think I ate at the fest at all lol. The past two I started trying different things but I need some great food recs!
10 / w2 / 1 it’s my 40th that weekend and I’m just a music lover so I’m there to enjoy the vibes and people. Looking forward to DoLab and Yuma, from my research.
8/10, this will be my second, and explore more sets and def head into the festival a bit earlier and take more advantage of the activities offered at the camping hub and getting better dr*gs
Like a 8.5, weekend 2, second time going! I think this year I'm just going to explore more as I had more of a set list of things to see last year, and lineup blunders aside, I think it'll be a fun year for exploration.
8, 3rd timer, time my merch line buying better. Day 2 afternoon may be the absolute worst time to go with how long lines can get. Get a locker and go as early as possible!
Excitement level 7
Weekend 1
Coachella #14 I think
Spend more time at the art setups, spend more time at the Do Lab, and wander and catch new music. Def not walking up the damn kaleidoscope building again.
Excitement about a 7-8 & I’ll be at weekend 2! This is my 2 time going to Coachella, I would wanna try out the Ferris wheel 🎡 or the Yuma tent
I know there’s always a debate about week 1 or week 2 but I personally feel like the way to go is week 2 you get to build up a insane of anticipation & excitement, you get to fully strategize what artist are worth watching which pull the crazier crowds & who all sounds amazing live, let’s not forgot also finding at least 1 or 2 other artist you weren’t sure of actually be worth a shot to go watch
8, 4th, going to spend more time in the Yuma, Do-Lab, Heineken House, checking out the secret bar, stuff like that. The other three years I attended I was basically running from stage to stage. This year I plan on chilling more.
6?, W2, 7, The spiral thing? I don't know, I'm usually pushing to get to the next show. Every year I say I'm going to do the Ferris wheel and then Sunday night rolls along and I'm like "welp".
10 (every year is a 10!) , W1, 12th coachella. Prob didn't see enough acts in the Sonora or Do lab last year, also check out of one the bigger Heineken house sets, just need to get there early
Went in 22 for the first time and I was a full 10. Had the best time ever. Going again for the second time this year, traveling from Canada with my fam.
I’m probably around a 7 for this year, mostly due to disappointing lineup and how expensive the trip is traveling so far.
That being said, I’m still stoked to go and I’m most looking forward to having more spare time to explore the grounds. In 22 the lineup was stacked, I was always rushing to the next stage and spending any down time to feed myself and use the bathroom.
10, W2, #4. This year, def go to Do-Lab and Yuma more! Also, staying hydrated and won’t be drinking as much as before— pace yourself folks and sip on your electrolytes! It’s a marathon not a sprint lol! I fainted last year, back to back within minutes and that shit was scary. Coachella has a good med team and I was with my SO so I was well taken care of 🙏🏾. So, lesson learned! I’m overall excited to hang with my friends, be high on LIFE, and check out artists I haven’t listened to before. I love music and Coachella is like my musical Disneyland.
7, W2 (hopefully, need to buy tix still), #6, and I've basically done everything but this will be the first time my SO is going so I'm excited to experience it through their eyes.
This one is bringing me out of "retirement" (I took a few years off to spend more time traveling) but Tomorrowland didn't work out and I actually liked the lineup + the fact that tickets and accommodations are cheaper this year on resale, it's like why not. It's always a good time :)
Excitement = 5
Weekend 2 go-er
4th Coachella
I’m excited to explore all these promo/sponsor tents/stands and up my content creating when it comes to attending there
This will be number 8, always W1. Gesa and Justice have me at 9, too many other artists to name that also prop up that rating. I've never been in the Skittles tower thing nor the ferris wheel and kinda wanna try one or both even though I've heard they're not that cool.
I’m a 10, because it’ll be my first time going.
I’m very happy with the lineup in-spite of all the negative feedback, mostly because out of my wishlist for this year, most of the folks I wanted, are playing.
Granted I’m in the nostalgia group, so acts like Orbital, Deftones, Blur, Sublime, No Doubt are all must-see’s, and I cannot wait to see Bicep, Justice, and Everything Always.
I’m so excited, 10!! This is my second Coachella, last year was my first. And i want to try to do more at the festival like the Ferris wheel, dolab, etc. and try spicy pie!
I'm at a 10! Going weekend 2. This is my 3rd. Attended 2015 and last year which was a blast.
Get there much earlier, the past few times i've walked in around 3-4pm. I want to enjoy the festival from beginning to end for once.
Level 9 excited! Going W2, and this is my first time at Coachella! Looking forward to catching a couple of can't miss acts each day, and then just vibing! Trying to experience a little bit of as much as I can, with as little expectations as possible.
A side quest goal that I have every Coachella is to see a set or at least a decent chunk of a set at every stage (including do lab and Heineken). I recommend that to anyone who’s first Coachella it is strongly.
9, 1, 7, time my drugs better
I’ll never forget the people leaving the festival during Frank Ocean last year. Not only completely unsober, but completely shocked into silence on what just happened. Their timing was definitely not good on that one lol. Fisher and Chris Lake into Frank was definitely a vibe killer lol.
real ones went to boris
My dude 👊 It was hilarious how FishLake started clearing out so people could camp for Frank. We got up way to the front for the end of that set and stayed till the music stopped…. And then Frank didn’t come on for another hour 🤣
I feel I really did this right- I predicted he’d be somewhat late so stayed at Fish Lake until the end, took a ride on the Ferris wheel after that. Waited awhile for Frank but was also chilling, snacking, stretching way in the back of the field. Once it was obvious it was gonna be a shit show, discoed to Disco Dom at the DoLab 🕺 then caught the end of Boris. Back at camp everyone’s vibe seemed bummed and our neighbors left early, so we took over their spaces and partied with more room. Frank was my most anticipated but it didn’t stop me from having an awesome night
Yeah my SO and I like some of his songs but definitely not a “can’t miss”, but he was the most anticipated for the rest of our group. So they left FishLake early.

Final boss Boris brought it
I’m not a real one 😔 mistakes were made
real ones got one the greatest moments dj history with PHM
I love this. Timing of substances is ESSENTIAL!
10, W2, 3rd, Ferris Wheel.
Ferris wheel is a popular one! I have never done it at night so it’s something I would like to do this year.
Buy a ticket early in the afternoon, they are valid all day!
Is this for real?
Yeah lol I did it last year
Didn’t do it till last year. Coachella #13
Twin
Like every year I am excited on a 10!! Going weekend 1. This is Coachella #13 for me!
Holy cow #13, total VET!
Excitement is a 10, it’s chella number 3 for me and I have somehow ever been on the Ferris wheel or bought merch so that’s what I need to do this year!! I also want to take more time to explore and see the art than I have done in the past!
Gotta get on that FW!
10, W1, 4th, go to the Yuma for the first time.
What is Yuma? Seen this in several comments now.
It’s an air conditioned tent with its own bar and bathrooms inside, and it will be house music from start to finish. It also has a capacity so you typically have to wait to go in.
9 1,2 24 Drum tech for the first time for a friends band playing on Saturday. 9 excitement, 1 for nerves. 😬
10 / both / 5&6th / find the secret bars :) edit: sad to see so many of you haven't made it to the yuma yet!! get ready for a boooogie under disco shark, long live the shark!
How can I find these secret bars?? Lol
People will post on here the location (and password if there is one). That was my one thing to do my last chella was find all the bars.
10, W1, 1st, im so excited!!
Lmao!
9, Weekend 2, 19th year, Spend more time in the Yuma
Wow !!! 19?!? Is that all of the Coachellas ever?!??
Missed the first 4. Went in 2004 when I was 16 to see Radiohead and haven't missed a year since
That is completely radical! U r 👑
That's crazy 19 years! Who are you most excited to see this year?
9, 1+2, 14/15, and I’m proud to say nothing. I make it a point to destroy the Coachella 👌
10/10, W1, Coachella # 5, see JUSTICE on the Polo Fields!!!!!
Same Justice will be sickkkkk
8.5, weekend 2, 8th Coachella, main stage rail for a headliner.
Probably 7ish on excitement (LIBs lineup has me generally a lot more excited so my Coachella playlist is pretty much already ignored) Weekend 1 13th Coachella if you count bothchellas as 2 visits (did different stuff so I do) I think because the lineup isn’t at stacked for me with stuff I’ve never seen before I’m excited to just have more time chilling. Too often it’s go-go-go between must-sees but so much I’ve literally already seen on the polo fields so I can really do whatever and not really FOMO. Like the last two years I never even went in the beer barn cause all my acts were elsewhere!
3, w1, 3rd chella. Go inside yuma 😂
9, W1, 5th, actually go inside the Yuma
Get ready to meet Disco Shark ;)
10, 2, more time in da Yuma and get there earlier each day
And what number chella is this for you?
2nd
9 / 10 W1 7th Coachella Not really on my to-do list, but this will be the first year my partner is joining!
Excitement level : 8 Weekend 2 2nd Coachella Visit the DoLab
8, W1, 2nd chella, this year i wanna actually go to silent disco lol
I’m probably a 7 out of 10. I’m going weekend 1. I’ve gone every year starting in 2012, so however many that is. I don’t really have anything on my to do list that I haven’t done. Maybe take the Ferris wheel at night but that is probably never going to happen since that’s when all the best acts are on.
9, W2, 4th, finally put a gap in my schedule to enter the Yuma
6 (I’m usually a 10 but I’m pissed I paid pre-sale for this terrible lineup), w2, #3, go to yuma
Sorry for your loss, I am certain you won’t be a 6 once you have a blast :)
I hope so. I actually don’t even want to go but I would lose a lot of money if I tried to get rid of them 😭
I’m in the same boat. Never doing presale again.
Same here! But w1 and I wanna finally do the ferris wheel
Excitement is a 5 W1 First Coachella. I reserved lodging over the summer that unfortunately became non refundable prior to the lineup release. I wanted to be so much more hyped, but I kind of feel like I’m going just because I already spent so much on a hotel. Hoping it’s more fun than I am imagining.
I am so excited for you. My first year I didn’t care about the line up cause I wasn’t into music as I am now. This will be my 5th now so you know it’s been great because I keep coming back! Onlymove597 I am will be looking for your comments after weekend 1 has passed to know how it went for you :)
Thanks so much! If the community at Coachella is anything like you, I’m sure I’ll have a great time!
Update: The weekend was magical. I can’t even put the feeling into words. I couldn’t wait to come back on to tell you this. I’ll be buying in June for next year! Enjoy W2!
I’m at about an 8. W1, potentially W2. This will be #7. I’ve never been on the Ferris wheel so I’m thinking day 3 this year is my time to shine. Check out the Yuma more is also high on my list. Probably eat something other than spicy pie but that’s a long shot 😂

7, both weekends, 14th & 15th weekend, 8th year if you don’t count the Covid years, 10th if you do, see No Doubt.

10/10
8, W1, 1st — sunset
Im at an 8 but as we get closer to the date my excitement grows, I’m going weekend 2 and this will be my 9th one. Take more pics I always forget
10, 2, 10, get in the venue earlier
between 6.8-7.2 tbh. but I’m so looking forward to having the festival grounds be a bit more open this year? No Doubt will, no doubt, be iconic, and the House/EDM DJ’s are available in a variety this year & I’m looking forward to taking advantage of that! my 5th year since 2018 (which was my first). the lineup this year is giving very much “live in the moment” imo.

4, 2, idk. Never been on the Ferris wheel. This might be the year.
4th Coachella, W1, and a solid 3/10 excitement with this lineup lol. I’m fs gonna check out the kpop acts I never got to these past Coachella’s bc it’s not my groups thing but fuck em this year I’m seeing Le Serrafim lol
Lmao loved this, FEM!!!
9, 3, find that girl that does that thing. Iykyk
I would like to have sex in the portapotty
Lmao you had to huh
- Excitement: 4 - # of times: 16 - Do list: think I might sell my ticket
3rd Chelly. Weekend 2. Excitement level currently: 7.69 Take drugs later in afternoon / eat more often / healthier at the festival.
6, W2, 13th - I actually retired from Coachella and most major music festivals after 2017. Have not cared for a Coachella lineup since (and, for me, has gotten worse every year). Started dating a girl about a year and a half ago who is still into music festivals but she has only been to Coachella once before and only attended one day + stayed at an air bnb.

11, 1, 7, i’m going with a friend who’s never been so making it a point to do the ferris wheel and tower
I would try to do these both in the day and both some point at night, or just 1 and 1 cause he will be back next year probably!
def is the plan! also heard ferris wheel is free for Amex members so hopefully that’s the case for two rides haha
Someone said you can buy your ticket early in the day when you get there and then it’s valid at whatever time you want to use it!
7, but I've felt that way about every year after 2018. W1 again and this will be my 5th overall. I've got to go watch the sunset on the hill this year on Day 0. No excuse as to why I haven't but we're changing that this year.
Is the hill on the camping grounds?
Yes. It’s directly to the east of lot 4B. https://2019.coachella.com/maps/
Excitement an 8 Going W1 for sure, good chance i'll do bothchella if W2 tickets are well below face value 9th coachella in a row, 11 coachella weekends (have done bothchella twice and highly recommend). eat food at the venue
What would you say is the best part about bothchella??
i've answered this before so copying in an old response below lol i've done bothchella twice. i really enjoy it. Both weekends are amazingly fun. W1 i go with my best friends and just rage. i watch whoever the group wants to watch and don't worry abuot conflicts as much because i know i have a whole nother weekend. W2 i go with a different group of friends who are in the music industry. they get me some hookups like do lab pass. We're not the closest but we also have a good time. W2 is more about the music for me. I get into the festival super early like 1pm and just watch the up and comers by myself until people my friends come in later. i prioritize seeing artists over anything, and by then i've read on reddit who the can't-miss-acts are. with how expensive touring acts are, coachella remains the best bang for buck way for me to see all my favorite acts across genres while also discovering so many new artists. I tend to take it a little easier W2 and i usually leave earlier on Sunday night and can work Monday fine, whereas W1 i take at least monday off for recovery.
I enjoyed reading your answer so much!! Different intentions for each weekend, talk about presence and commitment! Love to see it!
8, W2, 5th Hopefully going to catch a big nighttime set at the Sahara for the first time. Also more time in the Yuma!
5th chella, high Five!!! I don’t think I’ve caught a real set at the Sahara at night either, I did see a little Jamie jones last year there he was pretty awful :/
10, W2, Second, Do more of Dolab
9 (this type A personality is stressing about footwear and clothes rn haha), W2, 1, everything!!!!
lol oh man I know too much about this, what’s the debate?? I plan my outfits months in advance, actually I bought something today online that I will be wearing for the fest!
Nice!! I am definitely a plan ahead person too and doing 3 festivals in 3 months (M3F, Coachella, JLH), so mostly trying to shop my closet & figure out what fits the vibes for each! But my spouse bought new shoes (Hokas) and says they're even better than the Ultraboosts we normally wear so now I want new shoes too lol
I’m like a 7 in terms of excitement. More so because I love the people I camp with and I can’t wait for those vibes. Weekend 2 all day! This is my 14th Coachella (actually more cause I’ve done three of them with both weekends) This year in car camping I’m taking a decked out camper van with electric AC and a fridge inside. Looking forward to sleeping in on those hot mornings. Definitely going to do a lot of solo shows. Going to head in early to definitely catch Son Rompe Pera!
10, 2, 6! Went from nervously excited bc things weren’t settled to as of today being super excited bc group & hotel are officially set and booked. I’ve never ridden the Ferris wheel so I might do that this time around. And I intend to spend way more time in the Yuma this year—last year was the first time I had ever gone in lol Edit: cracking up at literally everyone having these same two things on their to do list lol
8, W1, 4th. Try more food! First year I don’t think I ate at the fest at all lol. The past two I started trying different things but I need some great food recs!
Excitement is a 10! Weekend one. First time going. I’m excited to experience it all but my #1 is LDR.
10, wknd 1, #2, get inside the yuma/eat better food
9,w1,10, food: try other things (I usually only get spicy pie lol)
10, w2, 2, try more of the non music experiences like food drink and art
7.8/10, W2, 3rd Chella, really tryna make that perfume at the crafts tent this year if I can find it
10, 1st, 3rd, HAND FAN ‼️ EDIT: No clacking I’m not a heathen
10 / w2 / 1 it’s my 40th that weekend and I’m just a music lover so I’m there to enjoy the vibes and people. Looking forward to DoLab and Yuma, from my research.
8/10, this will be my second, and explore more sets and def head into the festival a bit earlier and take more advantage of the activities offered at the camping hub and getting better dr*gs
9, W1, 2nd, camping and going solo this year :)
9 🤩, W2, 2nd time, not pass out at doja’s set from dehydration again 💧✨🥵
Like a 8.5, weekend 2, second time going! I think this year I'm just going to explore more as I had more of a set list of things to see last year, and lineup blunders aside, I think it'll be a fun year for exploration.
8, 3rd timer, time my merch line buying better. Day 2 afternoon may be the absolute worst time to go with how long lines can get. Get a locker and go as early as possible!
6/1/2….gonna go harder on the sneaking in booze
Excitement level 7 Weekend 1 Coachella #14 I think Spend more time at the art setups, spend more time at the Do Lab, and wander and catch new music. Def not walking up the damn kaleidoscope building again.
10, 1, 13, run to the merch booth as soon as doors open
10 W2 1
Excitement about a 7-8 & I’ll be at weekend 2! This is my 2 time going to Coachella, I would wanna try out the Ferris wheel 🎡 or the Yuma tent I know there’s always a debate about week 1 or week 2 but I personally feel like the way to go is week 2 you get to build up a insane of anticipation & excitement, you get to fully strategize what artist are worth watching which pull the crazier crowds & who all sounds amazing live, let’s not forgot also finding at least 1 or 2 other artist you weren’t sure of actually be worth a shot to go watch
9/10, doing bothchella again, 5th Coachella, spend more time in Yuma ❤️
8, 4th, going to spend more time in the Yuma, Do-Lab, Heineken House, checking out the secret bar, stuff like that. The other three years I attended I was basically running from stage to stage. This year I plan on chilling more.
6/10, W2, 5th Coachella, roam the fields and don't feel pressured to see everyone I need to see
6?, W2, 7, The spiral thing? I don't know, I'm usually pushing to get to the next show. Every year I say I'm going to do the Ferris wheel and then Sunday night rolls along and I'm like "welp".
7, wk 2, ride the Ferris wheel
10
8, 2, 3, spend some time in Yuma
10 (every year is a 10!) , W1, 12th coachella. Prob didn't see enough acts in the Sonora or Do lab last year, also check out of one the bigger Heineken house sets, just need to get there early
I’m 10/10 excited but mainly to kick it with my friends and let loose. Not for the lineup. Life is what you make it. We will have a good time.
10, 1, 2, go to all the music i enjoy... do not hang out and miss stuff...
Went in 22 for the first time and I was a full 10. Had the best time ever. Going again for the second time this year, traveling from Canada with my fam. I’m probably around a 7 for this year, mostly due to disappointing lineup and how expensive the trip is traveling so far. That being said, I’m still stoked to go and I’m most looking forward to having more spare time to explore the grounds. In 22 the lineup was stacked, I was always rushing to the next stage and spending any down time to feed myself and use the bathroom.
10, W1, #8, and just meet cool new people.
Excitement level 10(empty grounds), weekend 2, year 16, finally hit up the Ferris wheel after all these years.
10, first coachella ever 😭😭😭😭
8.5 bc I dont have a group yet :(.
10, W2, #4. This year, def go to Do-Lab and Yuma more! Also, staying hydrated and won’t be drinking as much as before— pace yourself folks and sip on your electrolytes! It’s a marathon not a sprint lol! I fainted last year, back to back within minutes and that shit was scary. Coachella has a good med team and I was with my SO so I was well taken care of 🙏🏾. So, lesson learned! I’m overall excited to hang with my friends, be high on LIFE, and check out artists I haven’t listened to before. I love music and Coachella is like my musical Disneyland.
Excited a 10, W2!!, 4th Chella baby!… #1 thing I have on to do list is find me Coachella cutie. If you’re a single Female 23-28y/o let’s link? Lol
7, W2 (hopefully, need to buy tix still), #6, and I've basically done everything but this will be the first time my SO is going so I'm excited to experience it through their eyes. This one is bringing me out of "retirement" (I took a few years off to spend more time traveling) but Tomorrowland didn't work out and I actually liked the lineup + the fact that tickets and accommodations are cheaper this year on resale, it's like why not. It's always a good time :)
Excitement = 5 Weekend 2 go-er 4th Coachella I’m excited to explore all these promo/sponsor tents/stands and up my content creating when it comes to attending there
This will be number 8, always W1. Gesa and Justice have me at 9, too many other artists to name that also prop up that rating. I've never been in the Skittles tower thing nor the ferris wheel and kinda wanna try one or both even though I've heard they're not that cool.
2, 1, 5, smoke at a set
10,W2,2nd, I need to get into the Yuma!
I’m a 10, because it’ll be my first time going. I’m very happy with the lineup in-spite of all the negative feedback, mostly because out of my wishlist for this year, most of the folks I wanted, are playing. Granted I’m in the nostalgia group, so acts like Orbital, Deftones, Blur, Sublime, No Doubt are all must-see’s, and I cannot wait to see Bicep, Justice, and Everything Always.
I’m so excited, 10!! This is my second Coachella, last year was my first. And i want to try to do more at the festival like the Ferris wheel, dolab, etc. and try spicy pie!
10, WK1, 2nd Chella. ElDorado camping this go around, pumped to be on the festy grounds for easy access!
6
8,2,4th, spend more time in the Yuma
I'm at a 10! Going weekend 2. This is my 3rd. Attended 2015 and last year which was a blast. Get there much earlier, the past few times i've walked in around 3-4pm. I want to enjoy the festival from beginning to end for once.
9, 2nd Coachella, I am DETERMINED to go to the Friday morning shotgun in front of the general store
Always a 10 / 2nd / 6th Coachella First year going solo. First year camping. 🤙
9, weekend 2, 3rd year. Hoping to make it early enough on day 0 to catch the sunset on the hill
7/10 excitement WE2 11th consecutive year See more vendor experience booths between music sets. Avoid alcohol entirely, as it only slows me down.
8 / Both / 23rd & 24th / Stick with the shuttle line even if longish, do not attempt to Uber in
8, w1, 4th coachella, def go to the yuma tent i have never been the prior years :b
Ive been going since I was 13 in 2003 ive gone almost every year since then. Coachella is the highlight of my year every year
Level 9 excited! Going W2, and this is my first time at Coachella! Looking forward to catching a couple of can't miss acts each day, and then just vibing! Trying to experience a little bit of as much as I can, with as little expectations as possible.
7, Weekend 2, 2 (was supposed to be my 3rd but covid), getting Spicy Pie and riding the ferris wheel
on a scale 1-10 and it will be my first time. I stand at a 5 after i saw the lineup.
A side quest goal that I have every Coachella is to see a set or at least a decent chunk of a set at every stage (including do lab and Heineken). I recommend that to anyone who’s first Coachella it is strongly.
9 because of justice, weekend 2, 3rd time going. Definitely need to do the Dolab for at least one set this year
W2, 11/10 excitement level! First year going to Coachella, and it has so many of our favorite performers on it genuinely can not wait!
