Coachella fans are eager to see the iconic HP Antarctic Dome make a comeback after its standout runs in 2019 and 2022. This sprawling 11,000-square-foot geodesic dome not only provided a much-needed reprieve from the desert heat with its unique cold air feature but also elevated the festival vibe through immersive 360-degree visual shows, including RÜFÜS DU SOL’s acclaimed “Underwater” experience.
Attendees have voiced their nostalgia and enthusiasm across forums and fan communities, emphasizing how the dome’s combination of technology and art created unforgettable moments that felt integral to the Coachella ritual. Discussions also speculate that the dome’s future presence may hinge on HP’s sponsorship role, prompting suggestions for tech partnerships like IBM to continue this experiential legacy.
Moreover, fans propose evolving the dome’s content with rotating programming over different festival days to keep the experience fresh and engaging, ensuring that each visit feels new. The clamoring for the Antarctic Dome highlights a broader appetite for innovative, atmospheric activations that blend cutting-edge tech with festival culture.
Organizers have yet to announce any plans, but the outcry signals a strong desire among the audience for returns of immersive environments that cool down the festival and heat up the senses.
