There’s a reason Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as ‘Chella’) is so famous – there’s nothing quite like it. With a star-studded line-up – the coolest newcomers on the music scene, artists of Beyoncé’s calibre, and a guest list comprising of A-class celebs and famous influencers – it’s an all-access pass to a Hollywood-meets dancing-in-the-desert affair. Why attend? Because it’s a ‘tick off your bucket list’ experience that will not only completely overwhelm you (from the art installations, to the fashion seen on Chella-goers, to the music talent) but you’ll also be sure to experience many pinch-me moments.
