 Welcome to World's Best Videos, we've compiled a list of facts about Coachella, let's get into it. Coachella is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. It was co-founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santin in 1999. The event features musical artists from many genres of music including rock, indie, hip-hop and electronic dance music as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the ground, several stages continuously host live music. The main stages are the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theater, Gobi Tent, Mojave Tent and Sahara Tent. Even though they lost money their first year, Coachella is one of the largest, most famous and most profitable music festivals in the United States and all over the world. Each Coachella stage from 2013 to 2015 set new records for festival attendance and gross revenues. The 2016 festival sold 198,000 tickets and grossed $94.2 million. The success of Coachella led to Golden Voice establishing two additional music festivals at the site, Stagecoach and Desert Trip. In 1999, the first year of the festival, they reportedly lost $800,000. That year artists such as Tull, Beck and Morrissey performed. In 2004, this was the first year Coachella sold out, radio had headlined the festival that year. Thanks to the 1999 Woodstock disaster, fans weren't allowed to camp out but in 2003 Coachella organizers decided to let their concert goers put up tents. Tupac made an appearance while Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were performing by bringing out a computer generated hologram of the deceased rapper. When the festival first started, tickets were selling for just $50 per day. Because of the slow start in 1999, they had to cancel the Coachella festival in 2000. It was brought back in April 2001 as a single day event. At the 2008 Coachella festival, Roger Waters set included an inflatable pig. This pig flew into the night and ended up lining between two homes in La Quinta which was about a mile away. They wanted to get the prop back so they gave these two home owners $10,000 in free Coachella passes for life. Because of the popularity, they decided to expand the festival into two identical weekends. In 2012 Golden Voice announced that they purchased 280 acres of land in Indio, California. This is where the festival now takes place.
