The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is held every year in Indio, California. The multi-stage event draws thousands of people from all over the world, and showcases musical artists from nearly every genre—rock, india, EDM, and hip-hop—as well as art installations and sculptures. In 2017, Coachella grossed $114.7 in revenue and was attended by more than 250,000 people.
Since it first began in 1993 with a Pearl Jam concert, Coachella has blossomed into a diverse array of talent, setting up numerous stages with continuous line-ups of some of the world's most popular and up-and-coming artists. Concert-goers even have the option of camping at the site, making it a truly unique and artistic experience. In 2012, due to the surging popularity of camping, Coachella began offering convenient on-site facilities, including recycling, a general store, showers, mobile phone charging stations and an internet cafe with free WiFi.
