I´m going to
talk about Coachella and what it represents. It is an arts and music festival
that is yearly held at the Colorado Desert, in Indio, California. Actually, it is a
very big festival that is celebrated over two consecutive weekends every
April. Many people attend it, including celebrities like pop
stars, movie stars, famous bands and sometimes even the famous angels of
Victoria´s Secret.
The event has many types of music, like electronic, rock, indie, hip-hop and pop music. But, apart from the music, it also has visual art elements, like giant sculptures or figures all over the valley of Coachella and most of them are interactive.
There are
several stages across the grounds that this festival has, and they host
constant live music by many popular singers who perform on them. Coachella
is one of the biggest and most popular music festival in the USA and all over the
world. This festival is also well known for the tradition of people wearing hippie clothes
from the 70´s.
The first
time the festival was celebrated was in October of 1999, and it was
founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen; now it is organized by
Goldenvoice. In 2000 they didn´t celebrate the festival, and finally in 2001
they celebrated it in April, and from then, it has been celebrated during those days.
Half a
million people usually attend this festival, and you have to be quick if you
want to get a ticket to go to it, because it usually takes only 1 day for all the tickets from both weekends
to be sold out. Also, you´ll have to break your piggy bank, because it is
expensive. But, is it
worth it? Well, many people say it is, because it is very well
decorated, all the staff and the people working there are super friendly and it is a
great opportunity to meet really interesting people. Besides, there are many kinds
of music that you can enjoy and some of the most famous music artists
perform there. And last but not least, according to many people, it is one of
the best experiences you can have to make irreplaceable memories.
I think it is impossible now to convince my parents to go to California to see a music festival hahaha, so maybe next time. Since I know about this, I imaging how would it be if I was there. I think that when you are there, you just forget about the problems and the preoccupations you have, and the only thing you think about is to have fun. I have enjoy so much reading this post and in the future I will go to see the festival and to meet new people.
ReplyDeleteWow it would be great to be there. The fact that it is only celebrated in California is a huge problem. For the moment, it would be impossible for me to be there. If the festival becomes even more well known in the rest of the world, it will perhabs be celebrated in other countries. I would like that to happen.

ReplyDeleteI think it could be a great plan to get away 2 weeks of your problems and your environment. The problem that I see is that it is very expensive and California is very far from Spain. Therefore, we can enjoy Tomorrowland, an electronic music festival in Boom, Belgium.
I am interested in this festival,but only 1 day take to been sold all the Tickets! Amazing, I think i would not buy one.

ReplyDeleteWOW. It is amazing! It would be fantastic to go there, with your friends, have fun, know new people, discover other types of music... It sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that it is too far away from Spain, and also, too expensive.
Nevertheless, it is worth it for the people living in the USA. It seems they are having too much fun!
I would like to go to Coachella and live the experience of a festival like that. It would be funny to spend two weeks there to forget all your problems and have fun with friends, and even meet new people.

ReplyDeleteWooow!! I love this idea of Coachella, I will like a lot to go to California and stay there for 2 weeks with my friends or even to meet and know new people.

It will be an incredible and alucinant experience for me!!!
