A funny tech mix-up swept through Coachella attendees recently with a push notification seemingly meant for Stagecoach festival fans. The notice read:
"Quench Your Thirst – Visit one of the water refill stations to stay hydrated so you can keep bootin’ and scootin’ all night long!"
Shared widely on r/coachella, festivalgoers enjoyed the country-themed language that fits Stagecoach’s vibe far more than the desert beats of Coachella.
This playful blip sparked good-natured jokes about thirsty cowboys crashing the Coachella party and fans hoping for more quirky reminders throughout the year. It also reflects the close relationship between these sister festivals—they’re both run by AEG Presents and share the iconic Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California.
Beyond laughs, hydration is serious business at Coachella. The festival has ramped up water refill stations, removed single-use plastic bottles, and champions reusable aluminum bottles. Since 2024, Electrolit has been the official hydration sponsor for both Coachella and Stagecoach, offering specially formulated drinks to keep everyone refreshed through long festival days.
This lighthearted confusion not only gave fans a chuckle but also highlighted the shared spirit and sustainability efforts linking these iconic events.
