If the experience you had when buying a Coachella ticket was anything like mine, then I would first of all like to personally give you an internet fist-bump for enduring that crazy morning.

After persisting through what seemed like eons of being told to “standby,” my boyfriend’s computer came in clutch and saved the day (UCSD WiFi, why are you so slow?). Anyway, once the ticket purchase was confirmed, a glorious fist was shot up into the air. We rejoiced and I felt like we had just won the lottery. Errr, even though in reality, it was more like a lottery-sized amount of money had been deducted from our bank accounts. But despite the hectic morning and my newly empty pockets, I was overwhelmed with excitement! Holy moly, those of us who succeeded in buying tickets, it’s time for us to start preparing for our Coachella experiences! 

As I have been starting to play my top favorite Coachella artists on repeat in my car, I thought I’d share their tops hits with you, as well. 

So before you start making your very own flower crown, please check out the playlist below. The playlist will familiarize you with some of the most amazing artists that will be performing not only at Coachella, but at multiple upcoming festivals. It’s never too early to start feeling like a flower child!
