How Easy is It to Park at Coachella

Whether you like it or not, there are more important things to consider ahead of Coachella than your Instagram captions.

So we've created a handy guide of everything you need to know for Coachella 2022. With the long-awaited return of the iconic festival just days away, read on to find out about the event's parking, camping, lockers, lineup and more.

Coachella 2022 Dates

Just like years past, Coachella is taking place over two weekends. Weekend 1 is April 15-17 and Weekend 2 is April 22-24.

Coachella Address

Coachella is taking place at the same venue it has since 1999, the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The location to plug into your navigation app is:

81-800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA 92201

Considering the sheer scale of the festival, which attracts approximately 125,000 people per weekend, it's likely that many roads around the Empire Polo Club will close. Make sure to follow directions on posted signs as you approach the grounds and keep your eyes peeled on the official festival maps, which will be shared closer to the dates.

Coachella COVID-19 Guidelines

There are none. Organizers lifted all Covid-related restrictions in February, including the removal of vaccination and testing requirements.

"In accordance with local guidelines, there will be no vaccination, testing or masking requirements at Coachella 2022," reads the festival's website.

Coachella 2022 Lineup

After a brutal two-year hiatus, Coachella is returning with a typically stellar lineup comprising contemporary music superstars and many major DJs.

Set to perform at this year's fest are Black Coffee, Madeon, Louis The Child, Flume, Disclosure, Duke Dumont, Fatboy Slim, SLANDER, TOKiMONSTA, Tchami, Richie Hawtin and The Martinez Brothers, among many others. The headliners are Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival

Wait, I thought Kanye was going to be there?

Less than two weeks ahead of Coachella, the festival's organizers confirmed has that Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd would headline in lieu of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. The "Moth To A Flame" collaborators will perform in the festival-closing slot on Sunday night of each weekend.

Ye had been the subject of widespread rumors surrounding his withdrawal from the lineup, first reported by TMZ. He eventually pulled out on Monday, April 4th under unclear circumstances, but a source told Variety that he hadn't rehearsed or prepared for the performance.
