Tens of thousands of celebrants will begin pouring into Indio on Friday for the first weekend of the Coachella event that features musical artists performing vintage, alternative, indie pop, R&B, electronica and other genres.
Friday's entertainment — across eight outdoor stages at the Empire Polo Club — will feature Lady Gaga, Artemas, Kneecap, Yeat, Beltran, Glixen and Three Sacred Souls, among several dozen others jamming from 1 p.m. to midnight.
Saturday's lineup will open with Triste Juventud X Totem, followed by T-Pain, Shoreline Mafia, Beth Gibbons and millennial chart-toppers Green Day and Weezer, among others. Sunday's openers include Sin Rastro and Yulia Niko, with Junior H, Chase & Status, Dennis Cruz, Arca, Francis Mercier and Show Strippers throughout the afternoon, closing with Polo & Pan and XG. The complete first-weekend marquee can be found at www.coachella.com.
Goldenvoice produces both the Coachella and Stagecoach events.
Thousands of campers are expected to bivouac around the Empire Polo Club grounds during the festival weekends, while others will be packing area hotels and motels, with a large number of attendees flooding Interstate 10 each day and arriving in their own rides or via ride-sharing services, according to organizers.
At the end of March, the Indio Police Department shut down Avenue 50, between Monroe Street and Madison Avenue, which will remain closed until May 5 for the multi-weekend entertainment associated with Coachella and Stagecoach.
According to the city of Indio's traffic plan, beginning Friday, there will be no access on Avenue 49, between Hjorth and Monroe streets, nor along Avenue 50, between Jackson and Madison streets, or on Hjorth, from Avenue 49 to Avenue 50, or along Madison, between Avenues 49 and 52.
Those closures will be in effect for each festival weekend — April 11-13, April 18-20 and April 25-27, according to the police department.
Throughout the festivals, officials cautioned travel delays will be heavy along Washington Street, between I-10 and Avenue 52, as well as on Jefferson Street and Avenues 48 and 52 going into the Empire Polo Club grounds. Extensive delays are also anticipated on Highway 111 at Jefferson and Monroe, and at all the exits into Indio from the freeway.
Options for slightly faster travel may be available on Jackson, Calhoun Street and Golf Center Parkway, going north- and southbound, while less vexing east- and westbound travel might be open on Fred Waring Drive, Miles Avenue and Dr. Carreon Boulevard, officials said.
"On each Monday following the festivals, streets surrounding the site and I-10 will be busy with more than 40,000 campers leaving the area," according to a police statement. "Noise from the festival site could begin on each Thursday prior to the festival dates, due to sound checks and on-site camping guests."
Shuttle services will be available from area hotels and motels daily.
There will also be a designated pay ride spot, for Uber and Lyft users, at the southwest corner of Avenue 49 and Monroe, while family and taxicab pickups and drop-offs are designated on the northeast corner of Avenue 52 and Madison.
Along with Indio police, other law enforcement agencies will be lending support throughout the events, including the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol.
Arrests for various, usually misdemeanor, violations are common during the celebrations.
