Coachella was by far one of the best experiences I've had. Highlights of the weekend: Swedish House Mafia, Radiohead, Calvin Harris & Rhianna, the entire Dre and Snoop set including Eminem and TUPAC!!!! Ahh Coachella, you were amazing.
Camping wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Setting up wasn't to hard and after that it was really a piece of cake. I think going with veteran campers was a huge help, and made it a great experience. We barbequed, napped, and just hung out for a good portion of the weekend. Having showers at the campgrounds was great and the porter-potties were gross, as expected, but they cleaned them out a few times a day.
The weather was very unexpected. It rained the first day, which has never happened at Coachella before, and I wasn't completely prepared for that, but it worked out. Saturday was warm with a cold and windy night, and Sunday was your standard hot Coachella weather.
Coachella itself was amazing. They had all kinds of food stands and trucks to eat at, and most the food was really good. Water was pretty cheap thankfully, and they had refilling stations if you didn't want to pay the $2 for a new bottle. H&M has a genius marketing team and had a building where they gave free water, toiletries, and an air-conditioned lounging area. So we stopped there at least once a day.
The artists were amazing to watch and the stage designs, pyrotechnics, etc were fantastic! David Guetta and Kaskade definitely should've been on the main stage or outdoor stage, but they were awesome. Swedish House Mafia and Radio head were shows of a lifetime and I'm so glad I got to see them. And then there was Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to close the weekend and celebrate 20 years of performing together... Their set was beyond words, they pulled out every stop, from bringing on 50 cent, Wiz Khalifa, and other guest performers to doing a tribute to Nate Dogg, bringing out Eminem, and raising Tupac from the dead. The crowd went wild and there was never a dull moment.
