All great things come to an end!
Coachella Weekend 2, Day Three was a thrilling culmination of music, energy, and unforgettable moments. We have been attending Coachella since 2009, with only two editions that we couldn’t make it to, and over the years, we’ve seen how the music and fashion trends have changed. But what hasn’t changed at all is the incredible vibe of the thousands of fans who attend and the fantastic organization that Goldenvoice provides every year. The team never rests to ensure everyone is safe and has the best time of their lives.
We cannot thank everyone enough for making it possible for us to cover the festival in a fun and safe environment.
Here is our review of what we saw on Sunday.

At the end of our last day at Coachella 2024, we once again experienced the usual bittersweet feeling of gratitude for having attended another edition, mixed with sadness knowing that we will have to wait a full year to return to the desert and reunite with some of our Coachella friends, along with discovering what the new lineup will bring. Despite this, Coachella 2024 was another incredible edition, filled with great acts, surprises, and fantastic people.
Can’t wait to see you again in the desert at Coachella 2025!
