What is Coachella?

The festival is one of the first of the year, and its California location means it draws in plenty of celebrities who party the weekend away.

Coachella has been running since 1999 and attracts a quarter of a million people across the two weekends to the Empire Polo Club site in Indio Valley, near Palm Springs.

When is Coachella 2019?

Coachella takes place over two three-day weekends in the summer.

This year, Weekend One runs from April 12-14, and Weekend Two from April 19-21.

The line-up is the same over both weekends, so those lucky enough to have tickets won't miss out no matter what date they're visiting.

Why does Coachella take place over two weekends?

The hugely popular festival takes place over two weekends for that exact reason - it's hugely popular and is a way to deal with supply-and-demand.

In 2012 the event founder and producer Paul Tollett told Billboard:"We had too many people who wanted to go (in 2011.)

"We feel that there will be even more that want to go, so we're trying to create more room for them.

"The options would be to sell more tickets on one weekend or have two weekends, and (the latter) is the option we went with."
