Catch Coachella and Hip-Hop Festival Tickets Ahead of 2025 Events

INDIO, Calif. — The highly anticipated Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is just around the corner, set to take place on April 11-13 and April 18-20 at the Empire Polo Grounds. Headliners Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Green Day, and Post Malone will perform alongside a star-studded lineup including Missy Elliot, Megan Thee Stallion, and Charli XCX.

Although tickets for the festival sold out shortly after going on sale in January, attendees still have a chance to purchase tickets through resale platforms such as StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Ticketmaster. The prices on these sites are reportedly only slightly above the original ticket price, a rarity for popular festivals.

According to ticket resale analytics, last-minute purchases are often much cheaper for residents nearby, or for those who can buy tickets spontaneously before the event. Vivian Orcutt, a resale ticket analyst, noted, “Festival-goers prefer to secure tickets well in advance, which keeps resale prices relatively stable for events like Coachella.”

This year, Coachella not only features numerous well-known artists but also a mix of emerging talent. “The ‘Original Misfits’ are coming to play on Saturday, and Tyla is back on the schedule for Friday after canceling her 2024 set,” said festival organizer Paul Tilley.

For those who cannot attend in person, live streams will be available on YouTube, which remains Coachella’s exclusive livestream partner for both weekends. Viewers can enjoy performances from the comfort of their homes.

In addition to Coachella, hip-hop’s biggest festival will take place at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California, the weekend of March 15-16. Featuring headliners A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Peso Pluma, the lineup includes YG and Quavo among many others.

The Hollywood Park festival will run from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. Last-minute ticket opportunities are offered on resale platforms, making it easier for fans to snag verified tickets.

Festival-goers can choose from various options including single-day and two-day general admission, VIP, and GA+ tickets. VIP options provide premium viewing areas, access to exclusive lounges, and special activations.

In terms of pricing, general admission tickets for two-day access average between $200 and $300, while VIP tickets can range significantly higher due to premium services included. As of now, early bird discounts are available for first-time customers on select platforms.

Jordan Williams, a writer covering the entertainment sector, remarked, “It’s exciting to see this influx of live music events post-pandemic, as artists are eager to connect with their audiences once more.”

Fans planning to attend either festival should act quickly as demand for tickets continues to surge. Those looking forward to 2025’s concert tours will have countless opportunities to see artists from multiple genres throughout the year, including standout names like Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and Kendrick Lamar.
