The 2019 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival took place across two weekends: April 12 to 14 and 19 to 21 at the Empire Polo Club, Indio, California, United States. The three headlining acts were Childish Gambino on Friday, Tame Impala on Saturday, and Ariana Grande on Sunday.[1] The 2019 edition was the twentieth anniversary of the festival.

Background[edit]

The full lineup and date was announced on January 3, 2019, featuring headliners Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, Ariana Grande and second-line performers Janelle Monáe, The 1975, DJ Snake, Diplo, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Blackpink on Friday, Solange, Kid Cudi, Weezer, Aphex Twin, J Balvin, Billie Eilish and Bassnectar on Saturday, and Khalid, Zedd, Gesaffelstein, Bad Bunny, Dillon Francis, CHVRCHES, and YG on Sunday.[2] A week prior to the festival, Solange cancelled her performance due to "major production delays".[3] Rapper Kanye West was due to be announced as a headliner, but was ruled out due to an impractical last minute request for a custom-built dome stage.[4] He instead held his Easter Sunday Service performance at the venue's campgrounds on April 21.[5]

The festival was livestreamed on YouTube during both weekends for the first time.[6]

Incidents[edit]

On April 6, 2019, Christopher Griffin, 49, the festival lead rigger of twenty years, died on the festival campgrounds after sustaining fatal injuries.[36] Griffin fell from the stage scaffolding while working on the festival setup.[37]

On April 22, 2019, The Daily Beast published a report of the alleged "inhumane treatment" of the festival security guards, citing poor tent conditions, insufficient food and water, long hours in the harsh sun, minimum wages and poor coordination between the organizers and the subcontracting security firms.[38]
