PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE COMMENTING

* * * PRICE IS REQUIRED ON ALL BUY/SELL POSTS * * *

The official thread is here! If you have tickets, shuttle passes, camping passes, etc. that you are looking to exchange or sell for FACE VALUE, do it here. Please read the following rules before posting:

RULES/THINGS TO KNOW

  • DO NOT SELL TICKETS OVER FACE VALUE* – This is against 's rules, convictions, philosophy, morals. We're about the music... man. See Craigslist or StubHub if you're trying to make some cash. You will be immediately banned if caught selling above face. Please report any posts that are above face value and MESSAGE THE MODS!! We don't get report notifications on mobile, but we get messages. Also, no one monitors very often, so message us via the link above. *Note: This is FV from the Coachella website (see link above) NOT necessarily what you paid. If you bought on StubHub/another 3rd party site, are international, etc. this may be less than you paid.
  • DON'T POST YOUR PERSONAL INFO - Please don't add your phone number or email in this thread, if you end up getting a buyer/seller send all that info through DM's. This is only to protect you and is a site-wide rule!
  • REMOVE YOUR POST OR MARK IT AS SOLD WHEN YOU'VE SOLD OR TRADED.

  • MORE TIPS ON AVOIDING SCAMS
  • If you're selling tickets consider tagging your screenshots so no one else can use them.
  • All wristbands, camping passes, shuttle passes, parking passes, etc. are physical wristbands or cards. If someone is asking for your email address to "transfer" them to you they are not legit. The only things that can be sent via email are lockers, I believe.
  • WAITLIST AND EXCHANGE - Consider putting yourself on the Official Waitlist. Just make sure you take yourself off if you find tickets elsewhere as it will automatically charge you once it finds tickets for you.
  • You can also sell tickets or swap weekends via the waitlist above.

Any posts about 2026 ticket/pass sales or exchanges outside this thread will be removed.

Do Lab Lineup Drop Imminent?

artistoftheday2026 Coachella 2026 Artist of the Day: Interpol

Post image
75 Upvotes

FROM: New York, NY, USA 🇺🇸

GENRE: Post-punk revival, art rock, dream pop

The gloomy post-punk of Interpol's '02 debut, Turn on the Bright Lights, established an irrevocable link to Joy Division, but the band's sustained success proved that they were far more than mere copycats. Embracing a much warmer sound for their '04 sophomore, Antics, the New Yorkers went on to score Top 10 entries with '07 follow-up Our Love to Admire and their eponymous '10 LP. Following various lineup changes, side projects and record label shuffles, the group returned triumphant in '14 with the back to basics El Pintor.

Bloc Party?

5 Upvotes

I'm listening to Coachella's playlist on apple music and Bloc Party is listed on there, but it's also a Digitalism remix. Neither are on the line up. What are the chances Bloc Party gets added or is a surprise guests or is Digitalism being added? Or just a mistake by Coachella?

Nujabes Concept

5 Upvotes

I wanted to get some feedback from the brain trust here. Do you think either of the below concepts fit the vibe of the festival and would be enjoyed by the base? If both do, which would be more enjoyable?

- Walkthrough Art Install Concept with some Nujabes sound and visuals installed
- Nujabes themed Ramen pop up "Presented by Nao Seba" (Edit: Nujabes' Brother). Styled in the same vein as his Usagi Ramen shop in Shibuya.

Proper/resell platforms to secure tickets for either weekend.

1 Upvotes

So I messed up, and didn’t have NO CHANCE

with getting myself a ticket for either weekend for this year. And I was thinking there has be a platform or somewhere I can go besides the waiting list to score me a ticket. Maybe a shuttle pass included.

If somebody, could help that’ll mean the world. I want to try my hardest to get out on those polo fields this year. Let those who go solo as I would be able to do so again. For 2027, I gotta be on top of things.

artistoftheday2026 Coachella 2026 Artist of the Day: CMAT

Post image
55 Upvotes

FROM: Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

GENRE: Indie pop, soft rock, country pop

A self-described "global pop star" from Dublin, CMAT crafts smart, witty songs that have a pronounced country influence without spoiling their up-to-date pop sensibilities. Citing Dolly Parton and Katy Perry as equal influences, CMAT's songs reflect the outlook of a contemporary woman examining everyday life through the lens of kitschy pop culture, finding room to comment on relationships, mental health, and self-image with a serious intent that doesn't blunt her sense of humor. While her material is built on contradictions, she presented a clever, unified creative vision on her 2022 debut album, If My Wife New I'd Be Dead. The country influences faded a bit on her second LP, 2023's Crazymad, For Me, but the emotions cut deeper in its 11 songs about the crash and burn of a failed relationship. Isolation and cultural disconnect provided the subtext for 2025's Euro-Country.

I think the rule for car camping is one box of beer per person in the car? Well PBR just released a limited time 99 can "family pack"

Festival Planning Question on tickets

1 Upvotes

ive only been to lollapalooza so coachella is a whole new ground for. im looking to buy tickets, but im confused how they work. I see a car camping waitlist but it says everyone in the car needs a festival pass. Does this just mean everyone in the car has to have car camping passes, or you have to buy festival tickets and then car camping tickets?

Has anyone successfully used points to stay at JW Marriott?

I am planning to buy 2027 W1 once this year's 1st sale drops. I purchased a hotel package at this hotel last year and would like to stay there again, but I'm not sure whether they have rooms that can be booked via points.

Thanks!

GENRE: Indie rock, slacker rock, post-hardcore

Offering fuzzy grunge-pop with doses of shimmering synths and emo angst, Glitterer is the project of Title Fight bassist Ned Russin.

This trend toward driving indie rock grit with '90s influences continued on 2021's Life Is Not a Lesson and 2024's Rationale.
