Ten years ago I bet you would have never known where Coachella Valley is, but now it's been put on the map by the enormous success of the Coachella Music Festival. The last few years it has sold out early, and each year it sells out quicker than ever before. This year they sold tickets a year in advance and they sold out in under two weeks. They had no choice but to extend the Coachella Music Festival from the normal one week, to encompass two weekends. They will be selling tickets in advance for the second week later in the year.
Why is it that this music festival has done so well? It is my theory that it is close to Los Angeles, which is known for hosting some of the largest record labels on the planet, with probably most of the rock 'n roll stars living within the proximity of The Greater Los Angeles area. Coachella Valley is only a hop, skip, and a jump, and less than two-hours away from LA. Also, the weather is always good that time of year, and always sunny, perfect for an outdoor music festival.
The performers next time will be able to stay for two weeks, or two weekends, and it will also help all the cities around Coachella Valley with tourism as tens of millions of dollars in tourist money flow in during that festival. The promoters of this great event have had incredible success over the years, and it just keeps getting bigger, with bigger names and more people. It is now the largest event in the entire area. And mind you this is an area that has national PGA golfing, professional tennis, and enormous corporate events due to the 150 golf courses in the area here.
The cities of Indio, Coachella, La Quinta, and Palm Desert are welcoming tourists into the area with additional things to do while they're here. And it's only 15 miles away from Palm Springs, another hot tourist spot. The best thing about the Coachella Musical Festival is there is all types of music, not only name bands, but also new bands which are getting popular and trendy. And after that Festival ends, there is another one called "The Stagecoach Country Music Festival" - with all the top country singers on hand.
Indeed, I'd say that the music industry has put the Coachella Valley in California on the map once again. We are a tourist hotspot for corporations, sporting events, and now music to. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
