The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a three day annual music and arts festival held in Indio, California. It features alternative rock, hip hop, and electronic music, as well as large sculptural art.
In 1993 Pearl Jam performed in Indio in front of about 25,000 fans to protest Ticketmaster and the stadiums it controlled in southern California. Organizers realized that this venue could be furbished for large-scale rock events. Six years later the first Coachella Fest was held.
