Road closures announced for Coachella Fest
Indio and La Quinta have announced road closures that are planned for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The three-day festival takes place over the course of two weekends.
Weekend one is April 15-17 and the second weekend is April 22-24.
Goldenvoice won a major victory when the Indio City Council approved a proposal to raise the cap on attendance for both festivals, increasing Coachella from 99,000 to 125,000 and from 75,000 at Stagecoach to 85,000.
The following roads will serve as primary routes for the festival: (View Large Map Below)
