Speaking of stages, TheDoLab at Coachella this year received a boatload of press with the unveiling of their latest stage design. Featuring multicolored fluttering elements, this new work is fun, whimsical, and breathtaking — and is sure to be even more so set against the glittering Buena Vista Lake! Rumored to be the new Woogie stage for the festival, it will be filled with the pulsating rhythms of house and techno.

Let your imagination run wild amongst breathtaking art installations and awe-inspiring environments. From larger-than-life sculptures to interactive art pieces, every corner of the festival invites you to explore, create, and connect. There is also a whole host of workshops and speakers to expand the mind and invite new ideas and experiences. From sustainability to empowering action, music to the world we live in, there is something for everyone to absorb in these experiences. The Beacon stage is usually where these take place, but be sure to check out the Learning Kitchen for all things cooking, and other spaces hosting similar gatherings. 

Just this week Lightning in a Bottle released their lineups for all of the learning and interactive stages! Whether you’re a seasoned festival-goer or embarking on your first adventure, you’re sure to leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
