Coachella

 

Coachella is a major music and arts festival. It takes place every year in the desert, near Los Angeles, California. Its full name is the ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’. People come from all over the world to enjoy live concerts, art and much more. It runs over two weekends: this year, from 10 to 12 April and from 17 to 19 April.
Every year, Coachella has famous headliners. A headliner is the most important performer of the night. This year, there were three big headliners: Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Carol G.


Questions for discussion: 

 1. Do you listen to music while studying or working?


 2. Given the headliners for 2026 , which day would you
     be most  excited about?


3.  How do you discover new music?  Do you use Spotify  recommendations, or do you listen to what  your  friends   suggest?

4. If you could travel back in time to see any artist(living or dead) in concert, who would it be?


5. Tell us about a famous music festival or concert venue in your home country.
     How is it different from Coachella?
