The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, commonly known as Coachella, will take place in Indio, California, next weekend on April 13-15 and on the weekend of April 20-22.

The festival features different music genres, such as rock, pop, hip hop and electronic music, and is characterized by a vast presence of sculptural art. Coachella is also promoting awareness for sustainable development and recycling through several activities, such as the ‘Energy Factory DJ Mixer,’ where DJs have to recruit festival goers to generate energy to power their set.

For those who won’t be able to head to Indio for the event in full, there is an alternative way for fans to enjoy the artists’ performances at Coachella; you will be able to follow the webcast on the official YouTube Channel. Here are the performances times, in PST, for the first weekend.

The weatherman may be forecasting a blazing summer, but we’ll be keeping it cool this August at the 11th Annual Summer Meltdown Festival. Attendees from around the country flock to the Cascade foothills of Darrington, Washington (75 miles northeast of Seattle) to camp, dance, and have fun in the sun. At the Whitehorse Mountain Amphitheater, an eclectic and varying mix of West Coast talent keeps the party going non-stop at this multi-day festival.

The event is hosted by Terra Roots, a non-profit that supports social connections and sustainability through art, and the Seattle band Flowmotion.

Artists this year include a wide array of bands and dj’s, from Juno What?! to SambaDa to DJ Logic and many more. Genres include Electro Funk, Rock, Reggae, Punk, Folk, Blues… I couldn’t list them all. Looks like we’ll have a great crowd this year, the melting pot of cultures and sounds the West Coast is known for.

Tickets are on sale now for the August 12-14 event, priced at $155 for a weekend pass (Thursday through Sunday). If you can’t make it to a local outlet, tickets can be purchased online for a small transaction fee. Compared to the well-known California fixture Coachella Music Festival, which boasts weekend tickets around $300 dollars (not to mention the exorbitant scalper prices when tickets sell out), this 4 day pass is a steal. Doors open at 5 pm on Thursday and 10 am the rest of the weekend, ensuring several long days of hot, family-friendly fun. Don’t forget the sunblock!
