Where should I stay when going to Coachella Music Festival?

This question remains of the most debated topics amongst Coachella guests and ultimately comes down to personal preference and is entirely subjective. Festival goers can pick from 3 main options; the first is to stay on the festival grounds themselves, the second is to stay close by in the small county of Indio, California, and third is to stay a little further out in the large city of Palm Springs, California. For those travelling from far and wanting to make a trip/vacation out of the experience staying in Palm Springs is recommended. With tons of sight-seeing, restaurants, bars and other tourist attractions, Palm Springs makes before a great pre or post Coachella destination. While those wanting to stay for only the duration of the festival and not looking to after-party in major establishments, staying in a hotel or motel in Indio is your best bet. Thanks to BookSeats.com, users can select “Hotels Near City Center” or “Hotels Near Venue” to easily filter between the two.

How did Coachella Music Festival get its name?

The festival’s name due to its location in Coachella, California which is a city in Riverside County, California. The city’s naming origins are unclear. Many think it is due to the false spelling of “Conchilla” which is a Spanish name for the snail shells often located in the Coachella’s soil which are the remnants of a lake that has since dried.

Who founded Coachella?

In 1993 the festival was founded by both Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen. The origin is based on the fact that band Pearl Jam refused to play their concert in Los Angeles because of discrepancies with Ticketmaster due to overcharging concert-goes on service fees. The band enlisted Paul Tollett who owned the promotion company Goldenvoice to create a concert on the prestigious Empire Polo Club’s grounds in Indio, California….and the rest as they say was history.
