But the history of Coachella is more interesting and revealing than that flattened internet version suggests.
This festival did not begin as a luxury rite of passage for influencers. It began, in part, because Pearl Jam was fighting Ticketmaster.
According to Coachella’s documented history, the festival’s roots date back to November 5, 1993, when Pearl Jam performed at the Empire Polo Club in Indio amid a dispute with Ticketmaster over service fees. The band refused to play at Ticketmaster-controlled venues, and that show proved the Polo Grounds could handle a massive crowd. Paul Tollett, who booked the site through Goldenvoice, later said that the concert planted the seed for what Coachella would become. In fact, without that Pearl Jam boycott, there may not have been a Coachella as we know it.

NOt really sure where else to put this but....
you bro's see Jill Vedders instagram post detailing her being attacked at a movie theater and having her head split open by some psycho back in 2016?
Her first post was deleted as it included a photo of her head sliced open in the hospital.
This world fucking sucks.
