Kim Kardashian’s appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix turned messy fast and not because of anything on the track. Just minutes before the race kicked off, Kim standing out on the starting grid to support her boyfriend, Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton brushed off seasoned Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle during his live pre-race walk. The snub, icy and unmistakable, went viral almost instantly, with fans calling Kim “classless” and slamming her for what they saw as pure arrogance. Martin Brundle’s grid walks are a staple for F1 fans. He weaves through celebrities and drivers, squeezing in quick chats before the engines roar. This time, he spotted Kim alongside her sister Khloe and their friend Simon Huck. He approached, mic in hand, did his usual friendly intro “Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?” and asked if she was enjoying the event. Instead of responding, Kim shot a short smile, gave a fleeting glance, and then just turned away. Silence. She leaned in to her securi...
Get ready for Coachella 2027! We've got all the essential dates, the pricing, and the ultimate guide to snagging early access
Coachella 2027 is already stirring up excitement in the Indio desert. For fans, trendsetters, and anyone who just wants to soak up the scene, this festival is more than a long weekend it’s become a worldwide ritual. Even though last year’s confetti has barely settled, folks are already plotting their return for another round in 2027. If you want in, you’ve gotta plan ahead this festival only gets harder to score tickets for by the year.
So whether you’re a seasoned pro at the Empire Polo Club or just dreaming of those glowing Ferris wheel sunsets for the first time, you’ll need to be proactive. Here’s a no-nonsense rundown on the likely dates, what you’ll pay, and most importantly how to actually lock in your spot at the hottest festival around.
Projected Dates: When’s Coachella Happening in 2027?
Timing is key, and Coachella’s got a pretty reliable pattern. It almost always lands on the second and third weekends of April. That’s just after spring break and before the desert starts baking in May.
For 2027, expect these weekends to fill your calendar:
Weekend 1: April 9 – 11, 2027
Weekend 2: April 16 – 18, 2027
Now, Goldenvoice won’t officially confirm the dates until late spring or early summer the year before, but veterans start grabbing hotel rooms and rentals around these mid-April weekends anyway. Book early in Indio, Palm Springs, or La Quinta, and you’ll dodge the usual price surges that hit once everyone else catches on.
How Much Will It Cost? The 2027 Ticket Breakdown
Coachella is a serious experience and the price has climbed as the festival’s grown. Official ticket prices drop during the first presale, but looking at past years and rising production costs, here’s what to expect:
General Admission (GA)
Most people go with GA tickets. For 2027, first-tier passes likely start around $500 to $550. Coachella’s ticketing system works in tiers, so the price jumps with each sellout. If you want that lowest rate, the June presale is the window you can’t miss.
VIP Passes
If you want shaded lounges, fancier food, and private bathrooms, VIP is where you’re headed. These typically cost a lot more. Count on VIP tickets running $1,100 to $1,300, and keep in mind that Weekend 1 VIP is usually tougher to score the resale prices back this up every year.
Camping and Extras
The real Coachella often happens at the campgrounds. Car camping is the cheapest way to crash on-site, usually somewhere between $150 and $200. If you’re feeling fancy, “Safari Tents” or Preferred Camping crank the price into the thousands, depending on the perks.
How to Score Tickets Before They’re Gone
You really don’t want to be scrambling in January when the lineup drops by then, most tickets are long gone. Get your strategy down now if you want in.
The June Presale Is Everything
June’s Advance Sale, almost ten months out, is when most tickets release. This is your biggest shot at buying tickets without markups, and there’s even a payment plan to break up that hefty cost.
Loyalty Pays Off
If you’ve bought tickets before and registered your wristband, don’t sleep on your email. Loyalty codes hit inboxes first, letting regulars jump the line during presale sometimes an hour or more earlier than the crowd.
Be Ready Digitally
When sales go live, the online queue is chaos. Make sure your AXS account (that’s Coachella’s ticket partner) is set up, your payment info is current, and your internet’s solid. Once you’re in the waiting room, just wait, don’t refresh, or you’ll lose your place.
Why 2027 Will Be Different
Looking ahead, Coachella plans to crank up the tech and immersive experiences think interactive art, digital rewards, and new ways to connect even after the music stops. Locking down your tickets early, and handling your travel now, saves you all the January stress and those crazy secondary market prices.
The desert’s calling again. Will you be there when the music kicks off?
