Coachella 2016 via #TeamJLab

Just a few hours away from JLab Headquarters, Coachella 2016 has been the talk of the office. The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California features various genres of music from rock and indie to hip hop and EDM. Last year the event sold almost 200,000 tickets! Catch Coachella live here (or see the rebroadcasted sets).

Highlights from Week 1

  • Ice Cube stole the show ... with some sweet appearances by Snoop Dog, N.W.A. Reunited and Common
  • Other special guest spots (Lorde with Disclosure, Sam Smith with Disclosure)
  • Alana George did three performances (1. herself, 2. Disclosure, 3. Baauer)
  • Art Installations Experience
  • Ah-mazing people watching
  • Fashion sense was 'less-is-more'

Long's Tips for Coachella

  • Hydrate
  • Eat healthy
  • You can hear the music from everywhere - and the screens to see performances are visible nearly everywhere. No need to fight to the front.
  • Wipes ... it's sandy and sometimes they run out of TP
  • Eye drops recommended (they cost $5 for a mini bottle)
  • Wear a bandanna (for fashion and function)
  • Rent a locker ... and bring all the supplies you need
  • Beers cost $18. Just something to consider
  • Hydrate

And when you're done with the performances ... head back to your place and end the day by the pool with some good tunes.
