Coachella Essentials List

Comfortable clothes.

Indio's April minimum temperature will be 59 °F and the maximum will be 86 °F. Plus, the desert nights can get pretty chilly. So bring a jacket, you don't want to catch a cold at the festival. I know everyone will want to bring their chicest clothes when they come to Coachella.

But what you need to understand is that you will probably be on your feet for 12 hours at the music festival. So high heels and boots are not the best choices, wear your most comfortable shoes and then run around the festival. Trust me, you'll appreciate this at the end of the day.

Sun protection items.

Paying attention to sun protection at Coachella is always your priority. Especially in the high-temperature desert, many people will get sunburned. You don't want to spend that weekend in the sun until your skin turns red and stings, plus the possibility of wrinkles coming early.

Besides to protecting your skin is your eyes, cause the desert sun is no joke. Especially when you need to look at the singer on stage, don't let the sun block your vision. So pack a high SPF sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses.

Many people choose to camp at Coachella, and you can't go wrong with a pop-up canopy, which is the perfect place to gather, relax and protect yourself from the sun and UV rays.Especially pop-up canopy with sides is the hottest option among music festivals. The side walls provide better shade from the sun and offer excellent privacy in a dense environment.

Generally, a 10x10 canopy tent is spacious enough to set up a table and camping chairs in. It is worth noting that pop-up canopy can only be used in the Coachella camping area. And the music festival is not able to bring tents.

Multiple types of items

Water bottle. Walking around in the festival will always need water to replenish physical energy, but the price of bottled water inside is expensive. You can bring a smaller size and carry the water bottle, to save budget and be eco-friendly.

Portable charger. It will be a day of crazy pictures and constant social media posts. So use a portable charger to keep your phone charged. That way you can stay in touch with your friends, and it's hard to find someone at Coachella without a phone.
