Coachella attendees are complaining about long queues and a lack of
facilities at the Californian festival, branding the experience “worse
than Fyre Festival”.

Coachella kicks off Fridat (11 April) in Indio with a headline performance
from Lady Gaga. Acts including Green Day, Travis Scott and Post Malone are
also set to appear.

Fans began arriving to the festival’s campsites yesterday in the hope they would beat the crowds, but instead found themselves stuck in 12 hour lines
to get in.

On X/Twitter, one user posted a photograph of a field full of cars lined
up trying to access the festival along with the caption: “Coachella
descends into chaos, and it hasn’t even started yet. These are cars lined
up to get through security to enter the car camping area. Attendees are reporting a 12 hour wait, and no porta potties, with some saying it’s
‘worse than Fyre Festival’.”

Other attendees also drew comparisons to the famously disastrous 2017
festival in the Bahamas.

Festivalgoer Adam Roberts told Business Insider: “I made a joke earlier
that I didn't know Fyre Festival tickets were included in admission this
year, but that's honestly how I feel. I feel duped.”

Delays getting into the festival’s campsite were exacerbated by extreme
heat and a lack of toilet facilities.

"It's the middle of the desert; there isn't a bush to hide behind," Kayla Standring told Business Insider. “I had to open both of the car doors to
block myself, then the girls in the car behind us saw, and they started
doing that. I started a revolution for the women.”

Festivalgoers have typically paid at least $649 per ticket to attend.

Those not attending the festival in person can livestream performances on Coachella’s YouTube channel or via the new Coachella Livestream app,
beginning at 4pm PT/7pm ET each day.

In addition to tonight’s headline set by Lady Gaga, who returns at the top
of the bill after having headlined the festival in 2017, today will also
see performances from Missy Elliott, rising pop star Benson Boone, The
Marías, White Lotus star and BLACKPINK member LISA, The Prodigy, Parcels, Mustard, and Mau P.

GloRilla, Yeat, The Go-Go’s, MARINA, Dio, Tyla, Sara Landry, Thee Sacred
Souls, d4vd, Artemas, Miike Snow, Three 6 Mafia, Chris Lorenzo, SAINt JHN, 4batz, Vintage Culture, Tink, Maribou State, Eyedress, and A G Cook, are
also among the artists performing Saturday (12 April).

forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
