Valley music, and arts festival filled with artist that you listen to everyday perform for nine days in California. Yes i'm talking about Coachella. Most people don't really know where the name Coachella comes from.
“I really don't know what Coachella means I just hear it was a festival that is really expensive” stated Lauren Julian.
Coachella was supposed to be called “conchilla” according to Coachella.com/forum.
They stated that “Conchilla was going to be the original name, but someone accidently named it Coachella”. The original name was symbolizing shells in the dirt. Concha in spanish means shells.
This type of festival is only once a year. According to Time.com they stated that the least amount to pay is $399. That doesn’t really stop people, because back in 2017 198,000 tickets were sold. If the tickets were much cheaper there would be more people of course. Oh but don’t forget that $399 is only admission. It’s worth it to see multiple celebrities at one place at the same time.
“ The celebrities that I remember performing were Beyoncé, Cardi B, and Ariana Grande etc.” said Nydia Williams.
Multiple people had different opinions on how the celebrities performed at Coachella. According to people.com they stated that she has been receiving wishes for celebrities like Rihanna and Cardi B stated that the wishes are overwhelming. Some people didn't like that she was dancing/ twerking while pregnant.
Beyoncé performed and it was marvelous! After she had her twins she still danced and sang l like it wasn’t no tomorrow. She sung some of her old singles like from her album in 2011, and new songs like some from her Lemonade album in 2016. She knows how to keep the crowd entertained and engaged. She also had some special guests on stage like her sister Solange, the Les twins,her old group Destiny's child, and her beloved husband Jay Z.
History was made at Coachella 2018 believe it not. Beyoncé was the very first woman of color to headline the music festival in Indio,California according to CNN.com.
Coachella isn’t just hip-hop it’s all types of genres of music, including Rock, indie, and electronic dancing.
According to sliptalk.com “Coachella is a very small city. With only 40,000 residents. Once the festivals hit a small place then the police are already prepared to arrest anyone. For example in 2013 the police arrested 90 people during the third day of the festival”.
“I thought the Coachella was going to be on TV. I was waiting to see it” Williams said.
Coachella was actually lived streamed off YouTube or you could buy the tickets. There were multiple post going around on social media like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc. Coachella is a huge event that only comes around only one time a year. So when it’s that time of the year don’t forget to purchase tickets.
