One of the ways in which participants know they are approaching the festival’s field is to identify the various display panels along the highway for the artists presented in the Coachella range. This year’s display panels included Charli XCX, Lady Gaga and Post Malone.

For many, part of the Coachella experience is to camp on the ground. Participants are starting to arrive on Thursday to install their base for the next few days. Some sleep in their cars and VR while others install tents. In addition, certain activities occur exclusively on campsite, such as games, crafts, temporary tattoos and performance, including a DJ set by Chris Lake.
