We're back with more Coachella coverage because we had so much fun this year and still have lots of cool photos to share. Whatever, deal with it. This year's pilgrimage spanning two weekends with identical lineups brought new meaning to the expression "different, but the same," with Weekend 1 so cold and rainy I had to buy kids jeggings at Wal-Mart to stay warm, and the majority of Weekend 2 as the mother of scorchers hovering somewhere north of 100º almost the entire time. Come with us as we show you everything from the pool parties, people (pretty, not pretty and just plain weird), performers and crowds in this visual journey through Coachella 2012, Weekend 2. More»

We know we're the wrong people to be delivering this message, but it's rapidly approaching the time that we're all going to have to let Coachella go. You can continue to treasure your experiences, but after a week or two nobody really wants to hear your story about how your Ecstasy trip peaked at the top of the Ferris wheel right when Gotye hit that high note. Sorry! The good news is, there are wonderful local traditions like Steve Aoki's annual post-Coachella rager at Dim Mak Studios to help reintegrate you into society by giving you a healthy combination of things that are the same as they are at Coachella, and things that are different. We'll explain. More»

GofG L.A.'s favorite brash, hell-raising infant was back in full effect for Weekend 1 of Coachella. Much like his coverage of Sundance, Party Baby staked out this action-packed weekend and all of its wonders, from the festival to the parties and beyond, documenting his debaucherous journey throughout his very first Coachella experience. Living up to his reputation for being an absolute monster, Party Baby took this assignment on like a true beast without a care in the world. So here, in his own words, is an inside look at how Party Baby went totally H.A.M. all over Coachella 2012. More»

Welcome to round two of Coachella Weekend 2012. With one weekend down and another three days of shows ahead of me, it's almost like I get a do-over and can now make educated decisions for this round of Coachella evening stage-hopping. Having this personal wisdom and experience from which to base this weekend's festival choices, I thought I'd share my humble opinion with you all for anyone who cares to know what my picks and nixes for shows to see this weekend. There are many out there who disagree with much of what I'm about to submit to you but, as my dad always says, that's why there's chocolate and vanilla. Therefore, here's why I think you can't miss Calvin Harris and should *seriously* consider forgoing Radiohead in my Coachella Weekend 2 Shows to See & Skip. More»

- That sprawling mansion in Seaside Heights is apparently being vandalized by fans, excuse enough to cancel the Jersey Shore right? Right. [TMZ]

- Vanessa Hudgens would have nothing to do without Coachella. [Superficial]

- Should you accept that friend request? [CollegeHumor] More»

Coachella. Two weekends chock full of absolutely awesome music, non-stop partying, and a desert. Does anyone even remember what happened over this first weekend? Yeah, we don't either -- but don't fret, we've rounded up some of the photos you guys uploaded to your Instagram to remind you (wink). From the performances like Florence and the Machine, to celeb spottings like Lindsay Lohan, fashion mishaps (manks, anyone?), and partying galore, check out photos of what happened over the weekend in Palm Springs!

By all accounts, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's headlining Coachella show would have been jaw-dropping even if they had only stuck to bringing out surprise guests who were still alive. After all, Eminem, 50 Cent, Warren G, Wiz Khalifa and others all took the stage during last night's mega-set. But Radiohead had just played an instant classic two-hour set the night before, so Snoop and Dre knew they were going to have to go above and beyond to impress the crowd. I think doing two songs with Tupac Shakur on stage via hologram probably accomplished that. More»

Coachella-goers: by now, hopefully, you've got yourself together. You're dressed, ready, you've studied the setlist, maybe you're even at the gates already. But, tragic as it is to admit, you can't be everywhere at once, so you've still got some tough choices to make. Well don't worry, we cover Coachella year-round around these parts, and that means we've already prepared a day-by-day breakdown of our top picks for unmissable shows– some headliners and some more obscure.

Everyone loves music. It is one of the only (naturally occurring) things in the world scientifically proven to affect mood, the audibly consumable drug. Festivals in the U.S. have come a long way since the famed days of acid trips and free love at Woodstock '69 and more still since the  corporate greed and flash rioting of Woodstock '99.  Between plane tickets, camping permits, and hotel rooms, music festivals now-a-days can get expensive very quickly. Prep beforehand with our guide to ten upcoming festivals across the globe. More»
