A 41-year-old first-time Coachella attendee just dropped an emotional festival recap that’s striking a chord with the community. They praised La Campana’s top-notch amenities — air conditioning, speedy bathroom and shower access, plus free yogurt bars, bottled water, and toiletries — all making the experience smoother. The shuttle service also got a nod for convenience.
Musically, it was a rollercoaster of feels. They teared up at nearly every set, singling out Lady Gaga’s powerhouse show, The Prodigy’s intense crowd energy and light show, Saint JHN’s vibe, marathon dance sessions from Kaskade & Idris, Incubus after a 20-year wait, and a fresh appreciation for Megan Thee Stallion. Zedd, Green Day, LA Philharmonic, Mau P at DoLab, Sara Landry, Three Six Mafia, and Missy Elliott made the list of standout moments as well.
Despite a packed schedule, they didn’t catch everyone on their list but thanked fellow festival-goers for recommending acts. A viral social snap from Kaskade’s set even helped them spot themselves in the crowd — extra special for that first-timer feeling.
The thread sparked warm welcomes from the "Coachella family," sharing first-time memories spanning decades and pushing the mantra to "bothchella" — catching both weekends to maximize artist discoveries. Insider advice surfaced too: daytime stage hopping at spots like Yuma and DoLab can unearth hidden gems, exemplified by Damian Lazarus’ set.
One user asked about a Beverly Hills Cop theme remix heard during the fest, showing how classic electronic reworks still resonate with fans.
This roundup underscores how Coachella delivers on emotional depth, seamless amenities, and a rich musical palette that keeps drawing new and lifelong attendees alike.
