Coachella, the annual music and arts festival in the California desert, has long been as about celebrity sightings and trendsetting fashion as it is about the music. Over the years, the festival has played host to many celebrities, including Amy Winehouse, Beyoncé Knowles and Rihanna, who joined the crowds to celebrate live music.
In 2024, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended the event, going immediately viral on social media. Post Malone also made headlines in 2023, as did Harry Styles the year before.
Ahead of this year’s festival, which will take place on the weekends of April 11-13 and April 18-20, WWD looks back at the celebrity sighting moments at Coachella through the years. See photos below.
