Coachella 2025: Unmissable Parties and Events During Weekend One

by

This coming weekend, Coachella, along with its accompanying pool parties, will return! If you haven’t grabbed your tickets yet, there’s still time. The three-day music and arts event is scheduled from April 11 to 13, as well as April 18 to 20, at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.

Once again, the desert scene is bustling with starlit parties and VIP zones, all in close proximity to the music festival. Last year’s Neon Carnival was graced by Paris Hilton, Kesha, Simu Liu, and Kyle Richards, while Revolve Festival, powered by influencers, saw Hailey Bieber, Megan Fox, Lili Reinhart, and Nina Dobrev in attendance. The 818 Outpost, owned by Kendall Jenner, was also there, along with Camp Poosh run by Kourtney Kardashian Barker. Additionally, the TAO Group hosted Zenyara Desert Nights and other exciting events. As a gamer, I can’t wait to immerse myself in this vibrant gaming world!
