It feels like this year’s Coachella festival just ended: It’s been less than two months, as the second weekend wrapped up on April 23. The 2023 festival is indeed still fresh in many attendees’ minds, but Goldenvoice is already looking ahead: Today (June 12), they revealed the dates for next year’s festival (April 12 to 14 and 19 to 21) and shared ticketing info.

So, here’s how to buy tickets for Coachella 2023: Starting June 16 (this Friday) at 11 a.m. PT, the 2024 Advance Sale will launch on the Coachella website. Interested parties can register for this sale right now.

While it’ll be a minute before you can secure actual festival passes, there are other logistics to consider that can be taken care of ahead of then. Most notably, hotel packages, shuttle services, and safari camping are currently available to book via Coachella and Valley Music Travel. There are plenty of options: La Quinta Hotel Packages, Indio Hotel Packages, Indian Wells Hotel Packages, Palm Desert Hotel Packages, and Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage Hotel Packages. The bad-but-expected news is that none of them are cheap, with prices ranging from range from $3,099 to $10,999 (and neither of those figures include additional fees).

The good news, at least in terms of festival passes, is that payment plans are available.

“Largely, Coachella has become the place to put on the best show of your life,” Uproxx’s Philip Cosores surmised after attending Coachella 2023.

Excitement for this April’s edition of the annual festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California began in earnest when Coachella revealed the lineup in January, and the anticipatory cycle for Coachella 2024 started over again today, June 12.

“Wherever you are, the desert isn’t far,” Coachella tweeted. “Coachella returns April 12-14 and April 19-21.”

The tweet includes a video of a magical, mirror-like door appearing in several recognizable metropolises worldwide to transport music fans back to Coachella. It announces that registration is now open for access to the 2024 Advance Sale, which is scheduled to begin this Friday, June 16, at 11 a.m. PT.

It just takes one click to Coachella’s official website to arrive at the “Register Now” portal, and while there, fans can go ahead and purchase hotel packages and Safari Campground reservations here. Accompanying shuttle passes will become available this Friday, June 16, and registration for access to those is available now.

There are several hotel package options: La Quinta Hotel Packages, Indio Hotel Packages, Indian Wells Hotel Packages, Palm Desert Hotel Packages, and Palm Springs/Rancho Mirage Hotel Packages. Prices range from $3,099 (plus fees) to $10,999 (plus fees).

Information about payment plan options is also available here.

Coachella was a rousing success in April, Frank Ocean’s unfortunate ankle injury and subsequent canceled Weekend 2 headlining set that reportedly cost the iconic annual festival millions of dollars notwithstanding.

Coachella 2023 made history with headliners Bad Bunny and Blackpink, and the Coachella powers that be are surely already brainstorming how to one-up itself in 2024. We won’t know who next year’s headliners for a while still, but today (June 12), we at least learned the dates to circle on the calendar.

“Wherever you are, the desert isn’t far,” Coachella tweeted. “Coachella returns April 12-14 and April 19-21. Register now to access the 2024 Advance Sale beginning Friday, June 16 at 11 am PT at coachella.com.”

The official website provides loads of ticketing information, including the chosen platform (AXS). “Festival passes are valid for the full weekend (and only the weekend) you purchased,” it reads, additionally noting a payment plan option of $99 down at the initial checkout this week while the remaining balance can be paid off over six equally divided payments through this December.

There are also hotel packages and Safari Campground available to reserve now here. The accompanying shuttle passes will go on sale beginning this Friday, June 16 at 10 a.m. PT, but registration for access is available now.

Will Governors Ball Be Canceled Due To The Wildfire Smoke From Canada?

The 2023 Governors Ball festival is currently set to go down this weekend, at New York City’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park from June 9 to 11. That sounds like a fun time, but at the moment, there’s a major problem: Smoke from an ongoing Canadian wildfire has made its way down to NYC, creating an eerie and dangerous environment. The skies are currently a hazy orange color and the city’s air quality has officially been deemed “hazardous.”

So, with that in mind: Has Gov Ball been canceled due to the wildfire smoke from Canada?

As of this afternoon (June 7), the festival has not been canceled or postponed and is set to proceed as scheduled. In a statement shared today, festival organizers said, “We’re closely monitoring the air quality with weather experts and are in close contact with city officials. As always, the health and safety of New Yorkers is our top priority. At this time, the festival is continuing as planned. We are hopeful that conditions will improve in the coming days and are looking forward to a great weekend!”

As the festival approaches, interested parties should keep an eye on the Governors Ball social media pages for the latest status updates (here’s their Twitter and Instagram).

Assuming Gov Ball does go on this weekend, find the set times here.

Governors Ball Organizers Are Monitoring New York City’s Dangerous Air Quality, But They Haven’t Canceled The Festival Yet

New Yorkers and most of the Northeast are facing some seriously orange skies today as smoke from some Canadian fires filters down the coast. While most have been encouraged to stay inside and the city’s mayor calling it a “very unhealthy” air quality, it seems one NYC music festival is still hoping to run as scheduled this weekend.

The annual Governors Ball Music Festival is currently set for June 9 to 11 and have confirmed that they’re still hoping to welcome a bunch of fans to the festival grounds to see their favorite artists.

“We’re closely monitoring the air quality with weather experts and are in close contact with city officials,” a Governors Ball representative told Pitchfork. “As always, the health and safety of New Yorkers is our top priority. At this time, the festival is continuing as planned. We are hopeful that conditions will improve in the coming days and are looking forward to a great weekend!”

For reference, here’s a video taken in NYC today (June 7):

This is part of the festival’s pretty rough track record with battling the city’s weather throughout the years. In 2019, the festival had to be evacuated on the final day due to flooding from a storm. Three years prior in 2016, the fest’s Sunday run was outright canceled for a similar storm issue.

While they haven’t encountered poor weather in a few years, here’s hoping the smoke can clear up by then.

How Much Are Camp Flog Gnaw Tickets For 2023?

Tyler The Creator officially unveiled the return of Camp Flog Gnaw, his previously annual music festival in California.

It marks the first return since 2019 and is now being held at Dodger Stadium. Given the demand for the truly popular event, many fans might be wondering how to get tickets and once they try to, how much it might set them back financially.

While fans are currently able to register for the opportunity to buy tickets on June 2, there are also three price tiers for passes.

The first, a 2-day General Admission, starts at $335 plus additional fees. It keeps the standard experience of a music festival but does include access to the carnival rides that would be on the grounds. However, these prices are currently for the advance sale — leading to the likely chance that they will increase in cost for those who purchase outside of the presale.

The 2-Day VIP pass starts at $595 and contains more exclusive private benefits. The next step up is the Super VIP weekend pass, with an advance cost of $1,495 and a merch package included, along with even extra special perks.

Finally, there is an option to upgrade to add-on carnival game tickets for $150, as none of the three tiers of tickets have it included.

Tyler The Creator has officially announced the return of his popular music festival, Camp Flog Gnaw, for this November at Dodger Stadium. It marks the first event since 2019 due to the pandemic. Needless to say, people are immensely excited to experience the annual fest once more.

While the lineup has yet to be announced, those interested in attending can register now to participate in the advance sale, which opens up this Friday (June 2) at 10 a.m. PT. By doing so, the festival will send out exclusive codes for the chance to purchase passes.

There are also three tiers of tickets being offered. The first is a 2-day General Admission that includes carnival games. The VIP admission pass runs at $595 to start, with additional perks, including an exclusive viewing area, faster line access to merch, air-conditioned bathrooms, and exclusive food vendors.

Finally, the Super VIP tier opens at $1,495 — giving those interested access to a special clubhouse, a super VIP entry lane, and all the previous perks of the regular VIP tier. All advance ticket purchases in any tier will also come with a special gift.

For those also interested in playing the carnival games, tickets aren’t available in any of the tiers, but can be purchased as an additional add-on.
