Coachella 2024: Lineup, Tickets, Info & Fun Facts

9th April 2024 | Category: Concerts

Coachella is here, guys! We are days away from the first weekend of the bi-weekend bash in the middle of California. The internationally acclaimed music festival picks up again this weekend, with a plethora of music guests and performers you should not miss if you happen to find yourself in Indio this Sunday and Saturday.

Coachella 101

Before we get into the details about this week’s first bash, let’s quickly list all the important details about Coachella. You know, just in case you haven’t had the chance to hear about this festival before.

Coachella, or officially, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is an annual festival for music and arts taking place in the Colorado Desert. The exact location is the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, Coachella Valley.

The festival became a thing in 1999, when Paul Tollett and Rick van Santen joined forces and founded the event. The first festival is organized by Goldenvoice.

Regarding the choice of music and arts offered at the festival, there’s huge variety. For the most part, the festival is all about rock, pop, hip hop, and electronic music, with indie and rap performances adding much needed variety as well.

What started as a one-day event evolved over the years into two 3-day weekend events taking place in April. What’s curious is that the lineup is exactly the same on both weekends.

Coachella 2024

So, let’s take a look at this years lineup and what we can expect from Coachella this year. Like every year, it is a global event, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world. However, perhaps the most famous thing about Coachella is the guest list: it’s a known celebrity hangout place, and every year, people gather just so they could get a chance to spot their favourite stars.

Hollywood stars love the attention too, so it’s a well-oiled machine that works for everyone involved.

Now, for the past several years, Coachella has had the same format: two weekends, the same lineup on both occasions. This year is the same. Take a look below at the lineup at this year’s festival.

This Year’s Lineup

The main performance at 2024 Coachella is Lana del Rey. Lana is the Friday headliner, appearing before the audience on Friday, April 12 and 19.  Besides Lana, the opening nights of the festival will also feature Peso Pluma, Lil Uzi Vert, along with a number of stars and performers such as ATEEZ, Peggy Gou, Suki Waterhouse, Sabrina Carpenter, Neil Frances, Gorgon City, Tinashe, ANOTR, Steve Angello, Mall Grab, and more.

The second evening, or Saturdays April 13 and 20 will feature Tyler, The Creator. Besides him, you will also have th eprivilege to watch Ice Spice, Gessaffelstein, Sublime, Blur, Jungle, Grimes, Jon Batiste, LE SSERAFIM, Charlotte de Witte, Purple Disco Machine, Raye, FLO, Hatsune Miku, Saint Levant, Will Clarke, and Kimonos.

Lastly, the closing nights of the festival, Sunday April 14 and 21, will be headlined by Doja Cat. Besides Doja, we will also get a chance to enjoy performances by J Balvin, Jhene Aiko, Khruangbin, Carin Leon, Anyma, DJ Snake, LUDMILLA, Bebe Rexha, Coi Leray, Veronica Monet, Olivia Dean, Barry Can’t Swim, JOPLYN, and jjuuujjuu.

There are more names there, don’t worry. We just named a few on the top of our mind, but you can enjoy dozens of other performances and artists visiting Coachella this year.

Fun Facts

If you happen to be indisposed and couldn’t attend Coachella this year, the organizators of the event have a surprise. All players can watch the even in live mode! A YouTube live will be played throughout the weekend (both weekends) so you should get a chance to watch the entire thing and not miss anything. Of course, it’s always best to watch it in person, but a YouTube live is the next best thing.

If you want to find tickets for Coachella, please bear in mind that all tickets for the first weekend are sold out. There is no option to find tickets for the first weekend. However, if you want to attend the second weekend, you can find the tickets right HERE.

Kid Cudi Announces 2024-2025 Insano World Tour

14th March 2024 | Category: Concerts

Kid Cudi is going on a world tour! The Cleveland-born American rapper is a multifaceted artist whose genius is reflected in many forms, including music, acting, and fashion. This year, he is starting his sixth tour titled the Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour. The tour is split into two parts – the North American leg, lasting throughout 2024, and Europe, which Cudi visits in 2025.

Insano Album Conceptualization

Insano is the ninth studio album released by Kid Cudi.  It’s the last album Kid Cudi is set to release through his contract with Republic Records.

Insano mixes elements of hip hop and trap, acting as the sequel to Cudi’s Entergalactic from 2022.

But here’s the fun part – Insano was launched on January 12, 2024, and a little over a month later, Kid Cudi released a sequel titled Insano (Nitro Mega).  Insano release was preceded by two promo singles “Porsche Topless” and “At the Party”.

When he announced the album, Kid Cudi first discussed the album and said it is going to be ‘the album of the year’ and that it’s “probably the first album I’ve ever made where I’ve been truly 100% happy”. Finally, as Kid Cudi previously discussed potential retirement from music, he clarified that Insano and Insano (Nitro Mega) are not his last albums and that he indeed is not retiring.

Now, let’s see the tour dates and when you get to see Kid Cudi in all his glory.

The Eagles Add European Dates to Long Goodbye Tour

5th February 2024 | Category: Concerts

The Eagles are having a very Long Goodbye. After half a century of music and changing the industry with their sound, The Eagles have decided to stop making music. Aiming to honor their long and fruitful career, the band embarked on an international tour called The Long Goodbye Final Tour that has been already underway in the USA. However, the tour was recently expanded with several new dates added – this time in Europe.

The Long Goodbye – More About the Tour

Here is a fraction of the official statement from the band upon the announcement of the new tour.

“The Eagles have had a miraculous 52-year odyssey, performing for people all over the globe; keeping the music alive in the face of tragic losses, upheavals and setbacks of many kinds. Credit and thanks go to our longtime management team, our dedicated road crew, and our exceptional backup musicians for providing skilled and steadfast support, throughout these many years. We know how fortunate we are, and we are truly grateful. Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.”

And indeed, “The Long Goodbye” will honor and celebrate the musical behemoth by giving the fans a chance to say goodbye by listening to The Eagles’ most popular hits.

US Dates

Before we switch to the full list of dates of the European leg of the tour, we thought it would be great to list out the dates for the current US leg of the tour. The tour officially started back in September 2023, and lasts even now.

The Best November Festivals Around the World

3rd November 2023 | Category: Concerts

November is a month that’s not really warm and not really cold. It’s directly between the summer and warm winter traditions, both of which can get pretty crazy. So, many just assume that there’s nothing fun to do in November, but that is not actually true.

We are here to introduce you to some of the best November festivals around the globe – from techno festivals in Iceland to lantern festivities in Thailand, we have a bit of something for everybody.

Dia de los Muertos

Where: Mexico and also Worldwide

When: Oct 31 – Nov 2

Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican festival honoring the dead. As the name says, Day of the Dead, is a 3-day celebration of all loved ones that have sadly passed away.

Although celebrations are held across the globe, the biggest is in Mexico City, Mexico. This is just the focal point but wherever you go, you won’t be wrong. Another place that’s quite famous is Oaxaca. The entire point of the Day of the Dead is to welcome back the souls of the dead who return to the real world for a day on November 1st. It is believed that they pass over to this side in the night between October 31st and November 1st, and they have 24 hours here before they must return to the land of the dad.

That is why people decorate and put up altars with photos and food to encourage souls to visit them as they want to celebrate them for that day.

Iceland Airwaves

Where: Reykjavík, Iceland

When: Nov 2 – Nov 4

At the same time that the Day of the Dead ends, another festival begins on the other side of the world. Iceland, a country famous for being a bit isolated from others as it’s an island, is hosting a cool music festival at the beginning of the month.

The festival is a music event, so the focus is on live shows and sets by industry’s leading techno and psytrance performers. But there’s more to Iceland Airwaves than meets the eye. Airwaves brings together a massive crowd of festival-goers who enjoy events such as Tomorrowland. It’s among the most popular techno festivals, right there with Awakenings and Sónar. Each year, thousands of visitors flock to Reykjavik to celebrate music and share good vibes with others in the abandoned airplane hangar where everything began in 1999. Today, the musical event is held to celebrate the Icelandic music scene, as well as promote international artists.

Lewes Bonfire

Where: England

When: Nov 5

The movie V for Vendetta is a movie referencing the legendary Guy Fawkes Night, or the Gunpowder Treason Day. Marked on the night on November 5, the event represents a plot to blow up the entire House of Lords using gunpowder and thus assassinate the king James I (along with his entire parliament) in 1605. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, but it left a big mark on the society of that age. Centuries later, the date was turned into the famous Bonfire Night, or the Lewes Bonfire.

In fact, the Bonfire Night is celebrated across the UK, but Lewes Bonfire refers to a more extreme celebration of the event. Lewes is a city near Sussex. Each Bonfire Night, the town of Lewes celebrates by bringing out flaming torches, typically held by costumed participants cosplaying as Vikings, pirates, etc., who also drag burning barrels of tar behind them. The main thing is the chant ‘Kill the Pope’, a quite unusual and for many, weird chant, but that’s Lewes Bonfire for you.

Diwali

Where: India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc.

When: Nov 10 – Nov 15

Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights. Celebrated across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, etc., Diwali is among the holiest of Hindu holidays taking place in November. The dates are not set in stone, so please check the dates before booking accommodation and flights to India or any other country of your choosing. If you want to participate in Diwali, you should know that this is the most important holiday for Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and even some Buddhists. In total, over a billion people celebrate it each year, making it not just big in India, but also worldwide.

The significance of the festival lies in the battle (and win) of good over bad, light over darkness. As said, this is a lights festival, which means there are numerous lantern-releasing traditions, along with fireworks, candles, etc. Oh, and the best thing about Diwali is that celebrations typically last up to 5 days, so there’s more than enough time to enjoy the festivities with loved ones.

Chang Mai Lantern Festival

Where: Thailand

When: Nov 27 – Nov 28

Another fantastic event you should not miss are the fantastic Chang Mai Lantern festivals taking place every November in Thailand. There are two festivals that are jointly referred to as the Thailand Lantern Festivals. Yi Peng and Loy Krathong, the Thai Lantern Festivals, take place on the same day. Yi Peng refers to the practice of releasing swarms of lanterns into the sky with friends and loved ones, while Loy Krathong refers to the practice of letting lotus-shaped baskets down float down the river.

Both are magnificent displays of lights made by lanterns being released by participants as a symbol of letting the bad things go and ushering in the light. Yi Peng, the Thai Sky Lantern Festival, is celebrated in norther006E Thailand. The biggest celebrations take place in Chiang Mai, the ancient capital of the Lanna Kingdom, making this a Lanna festival. Meanwhile, Lou Krathong is a purifying event honoring the Goddess of Water. Participants release baskets with candles and flowers down the river and other waterways.
