Coachella festival-goers have shared a candid look at the realities of attending the three-day concert when “you are not a celebrity”.
The first weekend of the annual music festival in Indio, California, was this past weekend, with thousands of fans pouring into the desert to see performances from a star-studded lineup of artists.
With pricey tickets, and additional fees for camping, accommodation, transportation, and food, Coachella is often not as glamorous as influencers and celebrities make it seem on social media. Thousands of attendees spent a lot of their time at the festival waiting in long lines for bathrooms, showers, food and more.

If you’re literally having panic attacks before the festival even starts, you should not be there

@BillysKingdom Год назад

Came here to say just this

@veronicaalmeda8014 Год назад

You can't miss on life neither because panic attacks may happen, they are so random, you could be doing nothing but prepping dinner while the tv is in the background and suddenly have a panic attack. She is there with other people who know her anyway, she isn't alone and if that serious likely has some kind of medication. Personally I wouldn't wait an hour and a half for a shower, do it before the festival, three days of not showering never killed anyone. 😅 If you are that desperate use baby wipes, some cleaning alcohol and dry shampoo in your tent. 😂

@Reia_Shi Год назад

@@veronicaalmeda8014 I did not say people that suffer from panic attacks can’t enjoy life and events, however, having 6 panic attacks before the festival even starts is abnormal, she needs to be taking medication for her condition if it’s that severe, and she should not be somewhere as crowded as coachella. Because trust me, she is going to have a hard time getting her breathing under control when surrounded by tens of thousands of people singing,jumping around and dancing. And it will be so loud and packed that no one will notice her. It is not a safe environment for her to be having so many in.

@@veronicaalmeda8014how about you just fix your constitution and grow a spine, calm your mind, “going to a porter potty gives me a panic attack”? Really If true that person is dysfunctional

@Reia_Shi Год назад

@@cheapshotta you sound quite stupid lmaooo. Anti-Anxiety medications can help to prevent any anxiety or panic attacks from happening. It’s a obvious given that a person suffering from panic attacks should ALREADY be going to therapy.

If you're not famous and on a very low budget* I stayed at a reasonable priced hotel nearby and it was an amazing weekend.

Don’t camp at festivals if u aren’t like an outdoor person. I stay at an Airbnb an hour away and I had a blast!

I don't think festivals are for you if you need a shower and have a panic attack before the music even starts on the first day. These people wouldn't have survived the first few bonnaroos.

@boiwhatdahellboi69 Год назад

I’m finding it really hard to feel bad for people that go to these. We all know the chaos that goes on. Why go just to complain and torture yourself?

@matthewfox1561 Год назад

I know I would be so hyped to go all I see are people complaining.

@roketynoramallorca2882 Год назад

You shouldnt go to a festival, if you cant take festivals

@johnychrist5475 Год назад

She honestly had it the best it could be, I was only a few cars down from the street she showed at the beginning. Like a 3 minute walk from the portopotties, 7 minute walk from the actual festival, 5 minute walk to the showers. You just need to prepare like you're actually camping and prepare for the DUST. That fucks you up worse than you expect

@sleeptil3 Год назад

Classic "Independent" click-trash. I've been to Coachella five times and camped three of the last times (which were FAR superior to not) and all five were some of the best weekends of my life, meeting some of the nicest people of my life. And I'm not even your typical concert festival goer. There's a reason #takemeback trends every year after Coachella.

@AllenHanPR Год назад

If you have been to coachella five times don't brag you are not a concert goer. I dont even go to concerts when I get free tickets.

@Nadsow Год назад

Why go if you are complaining lolol

@Anna_Czar_nas 3 месяца назад

That's why I like smaller festivals.

If you really want to feel what festival actually feels like you should go to any of the European festivals especially metal oriented... this is luxury compared to that. 😂

It’s like you have the option for regular and spicy fried chicken. Yet you opted for the spicy version despite not being a fan spicy food 🤷🏻‍♂️ If you’re attending festivals for the sake of YOLO stop complaining then

@krashd Год назад

Showers? Christ in a Nissan Sunny! Americans really do hate camping don't they? If there were showers at a European festival people would think it was an art installation.

@benur82 Год назад

There are showers in European festivals, but lets not make a drama if a person does not take a shower. Spending 3 days with no shower at a festival is absolutely normal.

@ginandromeda1618 Год назад

So you're saying europeans don't shower?

I hear the word coachella and get so turned off. Makes me think ab the “Imagine” pandemic video. Vain, celebrities behaving like celebrities, and theres a class system and ppl do stupid ish there or act higher than thou. Meanwhile, theres a housing crisis in the US and student loans are burying the millineal generation who also wont see their social security money in 30-40 years.

@chichilafemme6336 Год назад

Coachella weekend 2 is actually like a normal festival. Not really many celebrities it’s very chill but yea I can see why you’d get turned off. Weekend 1 has the most press and it’s not good press lol
