Coachella is a special experience for anyone of a normal caliber. Prices for the musical festival’s tickets typically range from $800 to $2,000 depending on the buyer’s preferences. While many celebrities and influencers spend thousands of dollars on the event, many average people like you and me can spend less; the budgeting is kind. However, Coachella actually started off as an event meant to be cheap. The creators of Coachella, Paul Tollett and Rick Van Stanten, created this event because they found concerts and other festivals to be harder to experience for the average music lover. Though Coachella has become more expensive, people of all economic backgrounds come to enjoy the music of their favorite artists.
The planning that goes into Coachella is one of a kind. From outfits, celebrities, and vlogs to the actual performances, people show out for Coachella and it shows. Many influencers who go to Coachella go for the obvious reason: publicity. When you go to Coachella, you are expected to show out with glamorous outfits and camp themes that spark online conversation. For example, a very popular trend on the social media platform TikTok is the simple act of outdoing makeup influencer James Charles. In addition, getting to perform at Coachella is an incredibly special privilege that brings breakout stars further into stardom.
American singer-songwriter, Sabrina Carpenter, proves this statement. The former Disney star had made several albums previously, but with the 2024 debut performance of her single ‘Espresso’ during her Coachella performance, Sabrina Carpenter was put onto the Billboard Top 100 with ease. ‘Espresso’ is still considered an iconic pop single and is still being played in multiple venues. However, this year, Sabrina Carpenter went even further to break away from the so-called “Khia Asylum Allegations.” The vocalist continued to headline Coachella this year by performing record breaking hits and having many iconic moments with stars such as Susan Sarandon and the “Queen of Pop” herself, Madonna.
Coachella is a moment of art, business, and remembrance. Anyone who has the opportunity to attend this event should expect a wonderful experience.
