Getting there & around on event days
Coachella takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, in California's Coachella Valley east of Palm Springs. The nearest airport is Palm Springs International (PSP), about 30 minutes' drive away; many festival-goers also fly into Los Angeles (LAX) or Ontario (ONT) and drive roughly two to two-and-a-half hours east on I-10. There is no useful passenger rail to the site, so plan on driving, a rideshare, or the official festival shuttles that run from Palm Springs and nearby hotels. Book accommodation and transport well ahead, as the valley fills completely across both festival weekends and roads near the grounds slow to a crawl at gates-open time.
