Etnies at the 2002 Coachella Music and Arts Festival

Press Release

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival - hailed in previous years as an unparalled cutting-edge musical experience in a peaceful and beautiful setting - returns for its third year to the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, CA on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28.

The shows will be headlined by Bjork (Saturday) and Oasis (Sunday). Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Chemical Brothers, Sasha & Digweed, Belle and Sebastian, Mos Def, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and Groove Armada, along with Etnies-sponsored artists Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, Saves The Day, DJ Dan, and DJ Peretz (a.k.a. Perry Farrell), are among some the notable artists in the fields of rock, electronic, dance and hip hop who will perform at the Palm Springs-area festival (full line-up below). This year's event returns as a two-day extravaganza. Fans traveling from all over the country will be able to experience the music on two stages and in two dance tents spread out over 78 acres.

Says promoter and Goldenvoice's Paul Tollett, "We've read e-mails from fans about what they enjoyed at the previous festivals and the kind of music and artists they want to see at Coachella. We believe that we have created a true spirit with this festival."

General admission tickets are $75.00 per day, and a limited number of two-day tickets are available at $125.00.
