What to Expect from the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2016

In its 17th year, Coachella continues to top itself from last year’s line-up. This year you can expect performances by Of Monsters and Men, Ellie Goulding, LCD Soundsystem, Silversun Pickups, James Bay, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Calvin Harris, and the highly anticipated reunion of Guns and Roses. And that’s just to name a few! You can find the complete list right here.
ART
Everywhere you turn you’ll be surrounded by interactive artwork and art installations. The main art display of the festival is different every year, moves throughout the Polo Club fields, and is revealed the first weekend of festivities. Last year it featured a caterpillar which then turned into a butterfly the last day of the festival. You can view some of this year’s featured artists right here.
