Last Saturday’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival hosted more than 30,000 people and featured more than 40 bands and disc jockeys. The event, which took place at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California, was filled with music from all genres. The line-up included Jane’s Addiction, Weezer, the Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Orb, The Roots, Ozomatli, MosDef, The Dandy Warhols, Iggy Pop and Paul Oakenfold. More than 20 DJs spun different kinds of music from hip-hop to elec- tronica in several different tents throughout the field. Two stages were set up which featured the bands that began at noon and performed throughout the day. The biggest anticipation was the reunion of Jane’s Addiction. Frontman Perry Farrell performed in a shiny silver suit as he sang such favorites as, “Been Caught Stealing,” “Jane Says,” and “Summertime Rolls.” The Empire Polo field seemed to be a perfect size for such a large event. Covered in fluffy green grass, many patrons walked about with no shoes. Being a desert city, Indio’s temperatures rose into the 90s. Water bottles with built-in fans were sold for $8. Many walked around in bathing suits and took the opportunity to lay in the sun and sunbathe. Vendors sold a variety of different types of food. Hamburgers, pizza, teriyaki steak, ice cream, and lemonade stands scattered the field. Other vendors selling music and clothes also bunched together in the center of the festival. A Virgin Megastore was even set up for music fans. Sculptures and artists also filled Coachella’s grassy land. One big attraction was a huge tin contraption made up from pipes, rods, old wash- ing machine barrels, and rims. With chained-up bars spread throughout this 20-foot creation, people could hit the objects with these bars creating metal drums to play upon. Overall, Coachella Music and Arts Festival was a crowd-pleaser, cater- ing to many different types of crowds.
