What happened
Goldenvoice announced "Head Trip," a new electronic music festival at the Coachella grounds this October, featuring Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and Swedish House Mafia.
Why it matters
The two-day "Head Trip" festival is scheduled for October 10-11 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the same location as Coachella and Stagecoach. The event will feature a single stage with no overlapping sets, offering a focused experience. Beyond the headliners, the lineup includes back-to-back sets from Peggy Gou and Four Tet, Dom Dolla and Kettama, and Seth Troxler and Ben Sterling. Floating Points will present the U.S. debut of his Sunflower Sound System, an immersive audio experience with commissioned art. This new festival further establishes Indio as a major destination for live music, adding to Goldenvoice's expanding portfolio of events at the Empire Polo Club. Goldenvoice has a history of successful festivals at this location, including Power Trip in 2023 and Desert Trip in 2016. Electronic dance music is experiencing continuous growth, with projections estimating the global market will reach $22.4 billion by 2035. Festivals and concerts are expected to dominate the EDM market, capturing around 35% of the revenue share in 2026. Such events can significantly boost local economies through tourism and job creation.
