    First of all basic necessities are unaffordable... Airline tickets were cost 2x the normal cost for the 2 weeks that Coachella was going to hit. Every corporation charges the most money it can for no other reason than they simply can; however, Coachella has turned into something awful..the most materialistic crowd that bring the country its grossest vibe. The LA scene is so over. No one escapes that city without taking on debt and mental health issues. Of course you can find awesome people that are working towards bettering things within the city (like you can in every city).. but “the scene” is over.

    Coachella has had some challenges this year. It's core audience is aging. The ticket pricing was higher than avg folks can afford. Venues with large gatherings are prime active-shooter targets which help keep people away. Lots of things are happening to keep attendace below previous years. Word is that those who attended the Mojave Stage performances managed by 88Rising got the biggest pleasaant surprise. Let's see how this weekend goes with Coachella. 🤔

    well to be honest this year coachella have more lesser well-known performers compared to previous years ... Maybe we heard some of those performers and their singles but thats it ...so if they charge the ticket as expensive as previous years idk if people will think it will worth it even for last year with more of well known established performers people who actually went there still have some pros and contras
