set in indio, ca (a little over 2 hours from la - if you’re not caught in the horrific traffic), coachella is a 3 day music & arts festival that has been held once a year since 1999. 2012 became the first year where 2 consecutive weekends were offered, april 13-15 & april 20-22 & tickets were sold out in 3 hours! this years artists </span><span>included </span><span> gotye, the black keys, eminem & even deceased rapper tupac shakur (in a hologram form, but still!). while past performers have included kanye west, jack johnson, m.i.a., tiesto, madonna & so on.<br/><br/> this annual weekend has attracted people not only for the abundance of musical talent, but also for the chance to have a camp-out on site, go celebrity watching &/or stalking & go shopping for hippie-bohemian staples. the weekend is usually a scorcher, which means it is socially acceptable to look like you’re ready for the beach. if you’re thinking about possibly attending next years, take a look at the attire of celebs & fellow coachella attendees. just don’t forget your <a href="http://myshobha.com/myshobha/myshobha_pages/services.html">hair maintenance</a>, especially if you’re planning on wearing little to nothing for a whole weekend!
