Goldenvoice is really not giving us the time and space we all need to collect ourselves and recover in between Coachellas .
We won’t debate that when we first started putting together yesterday’s Instagram roundup of the Stagecoach Festival , the all-country weekend that came after Coachella at the Empire Polo Club , it was mostly a joke, a way to get some cheap laughs at the expense of a bunch of rednecks.
Neil Patrick Harris, Rob Reiner and Busy Philipps host a fundraiser reception at The Hollywood Museum for one of L.A.’s oldest children’s charities; Anne Heche helps open this year’s International Beverly Hills Film Festival with a screening of one of the first feature films to be fully shot in post-invasion Afghanistan; Emmanuelle Chriqui and Peter Facinelli shop for charity on West 3rd Street; Luke Perry shows up to Nick Santora’s book launch party at the Grove; despite the gloomy weather, Wednesday saw plenty of L.A.’s stars out and about. Read all about it in this edition of Last Night’s Parties. [Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka, Busy Philipps, Rob Reiner, Mary McCormack at "Hooray For Hollygrove" via ]
Coachella has come and gone ( *single tear falls from corner of eye*) , and while the main purpose of the festival is to get a little wasted and watch your favorite bands in the desert heat, the event has turned into more of a fashion show over the years. From pops of color to magnificent prints, take a gander at some of our favorite looks from the two weekends of Coachella 2012.
Happy Coachella Day 2012 numero dos ! Weekend 1 saw chilly crap weather no one was mentally or emotionally prepared for no matter how well they packed according to the forecast. Me
If you’re waking up this morning at a campground, hotel or rented party house (lucky you!) in the Greater Palm Springs Area, then you woke up just in time. And if you’re still in the car, you should probably step on the gas.
You know it’s that time of year again and you know we canvas the Coachella party scene better than anyone—FACT. As my colleague Mikey Glazer over at The Wrap pointed out , the people responsible for the barrage of pool parties and events surrounding the festival all decided Weekend 1 over Weekend 2 was for them. From the third annual Neon Carnival and VIP gifting lounges, to literally dozens of daytime pool parties, there are more events to hit this weekend than ever and we’re here again to help you prioritize.
In typical Goldenvoice fashion, with less than 61 hours until the festival grounds open for Coachella 2012 , they threw us a bone and posted the show set times for each of the three days of Weekend 1, indicating who will be playing which stages when. As with every year before set times are released, I’ve been getting a daily dose of anxiety over potential conflicting shows of the artists I most want to see. God forbid I’d have to choose between Pulp and M83 ..
So you’re a first timer at this festival – you’ve got your wristband and your tent ready to go. Beyond that, however, you may not be sure about what to expect
When Robert Redford created the Sundance Film Festival in 1978, it’s safe to say that he didn’t realize the greatest event wouldn’t occur until 2012.
