The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival announcement is almost here.
In the meantime, the festival’s Web site has been updated and it looks like we have some ticket information for general passes and layaway plans.
The annual alternative music festival will be held at the Empire Polo Field in Indio April 17-19.
Three-day passes for the festival are $269, plus a $3 donation to charity and a single-day pass is $99, plus a $1 donation to charity.
For Coachella, concertgoers can put down a 50 percent deposit, plus Ticketmaster fees, with the remaining amount deducted on April 1. There is also a three-payment plan in which attendees can pay 10 percent of the total, plus fees, with the remaining amounts deducted in equal payments on March 1 and April 1.
According to Ticketmaster, passes for the show will go on sale at 9 a.m. Friday.
Although we don’t have a lineup yet, I did get one band, thanks to a press release. Fiction Records and Geffen Records sent over the tour itinerary of British band White Lies and it includes a stop at Coachella.
I’ll be updating here as soon as I get the information on the rest of the lineup and any other goodies.
In the meantime, enjoy our 2008 and 2007 Coachella archives. I can’t say enough about how amazing our photo staff is and what a great job they do at the festival, so definitely check out the slideshows.
