Hundreds of thousands of people are descending on the desert this weekend as the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival kicks off for it’s 20th year. The three day event, headlined by Childish Gambino, Arianna Grande, and Tame Impala, is showing no signs off slowing down.
But not everyone is here for the festival. The parties surrounding the festival have become an attraction all of their own, and many attendees skip the festival all together. Party goers have come to expect massive parties, with open bars and free gear from sponsors, at some of the most beautiful estates in the valley.
As usual, Bootsy Bellows, Revolve Festival and Neon Carnival are the hottest tickets in town. These events play host to Hollywood celebrities, influencers, musicians and the biggest names in the fashion industry. But if you can’t manage to get on the guest list for Neon, there are plenty of other events happening this weekend.
How to get into parties
Many of the parties are not open to the public, but are invite-only or a RSVP is required. It helps to know someone “in the industry” that is somehow connected with the event. That will be your best bet.
That said, it is possible to get into some of these parties even if you’re not on the list. First you need to know the location, and you’ll need to arrive early. Once the events have hit capacity, the security is very strict about not letting anyone else in.
Second, you need to act the part. Don’t come to the events wearing sandals, a baseball cap, sports jersey etc. Generally, you’ll need to dress the part, which means dressing trendy.
Third, be nice. It’s amazing how far a smile can go. If you’re nice to the event staff and security, and don’t come in a big group, you might have a shot of getting into one of the Coachella 2018 parties.
Vintage From 2016……
Coachella parties are one of the main draws for people, aside from the festival itself. In fact, thousands of people come to the Coachella Valley during the weekend just for the pool parties and after parties.

A celebrity-filled, Hollywood type after party that has made a name for itself as the must-do Coachella after party. The event is the product of Brent Bolthouse, Hollywood nightclub promoter and owner of The Bungalow in Santa Monica. “2016 attendees can expect new rides, a new setup, as well as DJs Kayper, Politik, Jesse Marco, and the under-appreciated DJ Ruckus, all of which will keep a predominantly industry crowd dancing late in to the night — or early into the morning, depending on how you look at it.” Read more here
