Tip: Bring “Action Wipes” . They are “grown-up” wet wipes with a lavender/eucalyptus smell to cool off, freshen up and get the dust off. Attention campers- you need these!

Need a pick me up: The Sephora facial lounge and complimentary beauty bar is a perk.

Worth every penny: A pedicab to your parking lot with “Ryan” in your tricked out ride. It glows while Ryan blasts “We are Family”.

Stay after sunset: And then enjoy the most spectacular transformation as the desert light fades over the mountains. The crowd surges, the headliners give performances of their lives, the sounds are crisper, the lighting mesmerizing, and the entire experience that is Coachella Festival, comes alive in a magical, electrifying composition that is a feast for the senses.
