Secrets & Top Tips for Coachella 2022
Hey Guys! So i purchased Coachella tickets back in 2020 or maybe it was 2019, I can not remember it was so long ago! Back when I bought them the lineup was amazing, you had Frank Ocean, Calvin Harris, Travis Schott, FKA Twigs, and more! The concert was postponed, canceled, rescheduled and more for 2 years, the pain was real! Finally, we get to go in 2022 but the line up tbh was not the same hype as what i signed myself up for. The headliners besides The Weekend and Big Sean were not my vibe - no offense we are all different.
Here i am all happiness and smiles :) I made this dress i am wearing from a vintage American tee, i cut the sleeves off, elongated the length with a bandana and added lace to give it a more chic look. I cut the lace into a scallop edge - it was received very well. I wanted to mix sports and modern together, styled back with some retro neon kicks and indian nath accessory to add in a little culture.
A little advice for anyone attending weekend two at Coachella. The heat is at its worst from noon to 3/4ish, and there is not much shade. We had to prop behind some blocks for some shade. The food and drink are super expensive. A drink will cost $17 so make sure you get your pre drink game on. We learnt our lesson on day 1 and left at 4pm on day 2 and 3 that way we were not getting heat stroke. The line for the shuttle bus is the longest when the heat is at its worst, you can drink on the shuttle bus - nobody says anything. Having a locker for layers is a good idea as it gets chilly when the sun goes down. The security are not that thorough, it depends on their mood so be careful. If you are collecting tickets from Will Call, walk with everyone else, just before security there is a white tent to the left and you can sort your wrist band from there.
If you have an AMEX get to the amex tent, there is a line to get in but get there before the acts finish and you will be mostly at the front. There is shade here and nice drinks, few freebies too. Next to the AMEX lounge is a secret garden, you need to have you ID wristband before you enter either. The drinks in this tropical garden are so much better than the rest of the festival, its not busy either as nobody finds it! On the left of the AMEX lounge there is more food places and shade. Remember they do not sell alcohol where you can eat food, which is a shame but they are trying their hardest to reduced drunken antics….i suppose :/
My faves for Coachella 2022 were The Weekend, Megan the stallion, Doja Cat, Big Sean, Dave, Jamie XX, & Swedish House Mafia. Billie Eilish did not deserve to perform at Coachella, she killed the vibe for many. Everyone kept leaving her main stage to go listen to 21 Savage. She did not sing into the mike nor did she put any effort into her work. People paid money for this event and to see an artist unworthy of that stage perform was a hard shame. Where ever you stand around the stages the screens are so big you will not feel far! Nobody pushes, everyone is super chill and just happy. The VIP i think are located to the right of the main stage. If you do no fancy waiting for hours to get on your shuttle bus as its an hour on the coach to your hotel…i suggest you leave 30mins or more before the last act finishes. We stayed to watch The weekend till the end - he was sick but we had to wait for more than an hour to get on our bus. A girl even collapsed as there were so many people squashed up. The bus organisers are useless so do yourselves a favour! If i think of anymore hints for Coachella i will holla but have the most magical time! x
