The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (often known as the Coachella Festival or just Coachella) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, in the Colorado Desert's Coachella Valley. It is organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Presents, and was co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999. Musical performers from a variety of genres, including rock, pop, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures, will perform during the event. Several stages across the grounds present live music on a regular basis.

Coachella features well-known and renowned musicians, as well as newcomers and reunited ensembles. It is one of the world's largest, most well-known, and financially successful music events. Each Coachella festival held between 2013 and 2015 set new attendance and revenue records. The 2017 event drew 250,000 people and generated $114.6 million in revenue. Due to the success of Coachella, Goldenvoice added several music festivals to the venue, including the annual Stagecoach country music festival, which began in 2007, the Big 4 thrash metal festival in 2011, and the classic rock-oriented Desert Trip in 2016.

Every year, the Indio desert transforms into a fashionable swarm of the coolest bands, observed by fashionable people and celebrities.
