Coachella 2027 Presale

Coachella has started selling 2027 passes before announcing a lineup, with the advance sale set for Friday, May 1, at 11 a.m. Pacific. (coachella.com) The festival has already locked in its 2027 dates at the Empire Polo Club in Indio: April 9-11 for Weekend 1 and April 16-18 for Weekend 2. The passes page lists General Admission starting at $599 for Weekend 1 and $549 for Weekend 2, with VIP starting at $1,299 and $1,249. (coachella.com) Coachella is also offering a payment plan that starts with $49 down, and its site says hotel packages are already on sale through 100x Hospitality. Camping add-ons are listed separately, including car camping at $40 per night plus tax and powered car camping at $155 per night plus tax. (coachella.com ) (coachella.com) The new wrinkle is entry. A Desert Sun report said some fans on social media and Reddit began asking whether Coachella could replace its physical wristbands with digital admission in 2027. (desertsun.com) Coachella’s own website does not confirm that change. Its current festival information page still says “wristband registration is mandatory,” tells attendees to enter the six-character code printed on the back of the wristband, and says registration is completed in the Coachella mobile app. (coachella.com) That leaves the 2027 digital-entry talk in a narrow spot: fans are speculating, but the live official language still points to wristbands. The 2027 advance-sale page also says buyers will receive information on how to receive shuttle and festival passes, without saying wristbands are being eliminated. (coachella.com) (desertsun.com) Coachella has long treated wristbands as both ticketing hardware and a registration tool. The 2026 info page says registration helps replace lost or stolen wristbands and can smooth entry at the gate. (coachella.com) The sales push is also landing as the desert’s next festival weekend begins. Stagecoach runs April 24-26, 2026, at the same Indio site, and its website is already promoting passes, camping and this year’s lineup led by Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone. (stagecoachfestival.com) Local businesses are preparing for that traffic now. KESQ reported on April 22 that stores such as Boot Barn in Indio were already seeing Stagecoach shoppers buy boots, hats and denim, while restaurants, hotels and other small businesses expected a broader bump in visitors. (kesq.com) So the firm facts are these: Coachella 2027 dates are set, presale starts May 1, and official pages still reference wristbands. The rest of the entry debate remains just that until Goldenvoice changes the language on its own site. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2)
