Coachella 2024 is officially underway. The music and arts festival has made its return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio on Friday, April 12.
The three-day festival is bringing together a variety of performers including headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat.
Over the past decade, Coachella has become more than just a music and arts festival. The event has become a spectacle online of fans refreshing social media to see the latest fashion trends, which celebrities are attending and who will be surprising fans on stage for a performance.
Here are some Coachella highlights so far. We’ll also be bringing you live updates from the festival all weekend long on our Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
Day One – Friday, April 12
Before the festival kicked off, attendees began arriving to the campground to set up their homebase for the next few days. Festivial goers were able to purchase merch ahead of time, listen to some DJ sets and even get tattoos.
