Coachella’s Growing Subcultures: The Festival Beyond the Music


Coachella blends music, fashion, food, and culture into one iconic desert experience that’s about much more than just the lineup.

While the festival still boasts an impressive lineup of artists 26 years later, with Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Green Day and Post Malone as the 2025 headliners, an ever-growing segment of attendees are there for reasons entirely separate from the music. Coachella’s own website lists just eight official art installations, such as the Balloon Chain by Robert Bose and Do LaB, a colorful canopy display which provided necessary shade for attendees.
