Coachella...ella...ella!


Possibly the most celeb-filled festival, Coachella, drew to a close yesterday after the A-list battled through the 100 degree heat to see the likes of, Cee Lo Green, Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Jimmy Eat World and Kayne West, among others.
Coachella takes place in the Californian desert of Idio, south of Palm Springs over a three day period. The festival makes for some picturesque camping with lakes, mountains, and palm trees galore.




For the rich and famous there are some pretty spectacular options that dont involve the norm 2 man tents and long drop toilets!
Lake Eldorado camping offers; "ready to go camping surrounding the serene setting of the redeveloped Lake Eldorado. Enjoy Coachella with flair, as your party is ready to start once you step onto the park like scenery of your own private access camping community"
A four person tent, would set you back $1,600.00



For the Paris Hilton's of the world, the only place to stay at Coachella is the Safari Tents which bascially look like 5 star hotel rooms (pictured below)


These bad boys have a price tag of $5000 for 2 people and $1250 for each additional person. Yowza!
For the rest of us peasant folk, you can simply bring your own tent and camp for 75 bucks and still enjoy the lush surroundings...and they do offer free shuttle buses to the local supermarket, which is deffo something the UK festies should adopt!


3 day tickets are normally around $269, with day passes at approx $99, making it cheaper than the likes of Glastonbury and all the major English festivals.



Apart from the decent lineup, pictured above, (with a nice British invasion this year including Ellie Goulding, Eliza Doolittle and Plan B) Coachella is crawling with famous faces. So who was spotted this year partying like it's 1969?

Cee Lo Green and Lauryn Hill performed on the opening day - Friday 15 April

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, Glee star Cory Monteith, Dita Von Tees, The Hoff - plus a blonde lady friend, Li Lo, Usher, Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley, and none other than Clint Eastwood were just a few more of tinsletowns finest seen enjoying the festival that is promoted to encompass the free spirit of the 60's. Righteous.

Even for the location alone this festival has def been penciled onto my bucket list.
