Coachella day 1: Lineups, schedule and how to watch live online

In fact, weekend two tickets are still available on the Coachella website.

General admission is $499 in tier 1 while general admission + shuttle is $619.

VIP, which allows access into the venue and VIP areas all weekend, is $1,069.

The 2024 Coachella live stream will begin at 4 pm PT for weekend one.

For the second year in a row, Coachella will stream from all six stages live on YouTube for free.

First up: The Japanese House are on the Mojave Stage at 4:30; Sabrina Carpenter takes to the Coachella Stage at 6:00 and Skepta is on the Sahara Stage at 6:30.

Coachella isn’t for everyone. Kevin EG Perry recounts his nightmare experience of Coachella 2022 here:

“It was the second rickshaw that did it. The winding, dusty trail that leads from the Coachella taxi drop-off to the festival site proper is so long and circuitous that cyclists ply their trade along the marathon route. A couple of years ago this week, after half a mile or so of hiking in the baking sun, I finally caved and agreed to Venmo a jock with thighs the size of Christmas hams half a week’s wages to pedal me towards the distant strains of music. Eventually, we came to a fence, then a gate, and beyond it… another crowd of cycle rickshaws.”

Hollywood’s favourite celebrity couple – Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – could be attending an iconic event in California this month.

While nothing’s set in stone, the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs star has revealed that he’s open to going to the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. During an interview with People, published on 3 April, he acknowledged that he’s attended the Indio-based festival multiple times over the years, and would be happy to have the opportunity to go again.

“I am a Coachella guy,” he said. “I love going to Coachella. I love live music in general. So you might see me pop up over there at some point.”

As those attending the 2024 festival can likely attest to, going to Coachella doesn’t necessarily come cheap. Some tickets range from the hefty price of $499 to $1,000. There are also other finances that some attendees have to consider, beyond just the cost of admission. Many fans often pay for transportation to California for the weekend, whether it’s a drive to the desert or a plane to Los Angeles. Some people also pay for hotels during the festival, along with food and drinks throughout the day.

Here’s a rundown of how much it approximately costs to attend the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
