PopSugar — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:30:18 -0700

Many of our favorite celebs traded the heat of LA for the action at the Coachella music festival in nearby Indio. Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal made appearances when she wasn't relaxing in her bikini, as did Kirsten Dunst, Anne Hathaway, Paris Hilton and many more. Click through our slideshow to see who came out for a few days of sun, fun, and music.

Rockin' Out, Coachella Style

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:00:08 -0700

It's no big secret that actors and actresses love to mix and mingle with rock stars. So naturally, this year's Coachella brought out a gaggle of stars like Sienna Miller, Sean Penn, and Nicole Richie, just to name a few. Music is a big part of my life, but so is fashion (duh). Unfortunately, this year I can't enjoy both at the same time since the music is inaudible all the way from here. No fret, I'll zoom in on one of the most fun parts of the concert: the famous concert-goers' style. Come with me!

Celebrities Heat Up the Hot Hot Desert at Coachella

Molly — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:05:00 -0700

Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival celebrated its 9th anniversary this year and as usual a whole host of celebrities made the trek out to the desert to enjoy heat and music. Nicole wasn't the only person there with a Madden as a date, Paris and Benji were hand in hand to enjoy the weekend. Sienna Miller and Kelly Osbourne were attached at the hip most of the time while Shia LaBeouf flew solo (actually looking pretty good again). Prince was one of the weekend's most talked about performers but Sean Penn also had his own moment up on stage. He was there to announce and embark on a cross-country trek using a fleet of biodiesel buses. Of course, the festival looks like a blast that resulted in probably more than a few sunburns and probably a few days recuperation for everyone.

Nicole's Weekend Surprise Is Harlow's First Coachella!

PopSugar — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:04:00 -0700

Little Harlow Madden is destined to be a music lover. She's already traveled to see her daddy on tour and this weekend both her parents carted her off to Coachella. Unfortunately, we didn't get another glimpse of the munchkin, but Nicole and Joel seemed to be having a blast. The new mom was spotted dancing and taking pictures as Joel played DJ at a party and showed off his support for Obama. Of their mini vacation Joel said, "Nicole hasn't been able to do a whole lot over the year, so we're having a little family trip. I rented a house and surprised Nicole with a weekend trip because she likes Coachella. She was like, 'I really want to go!' So I surprised her. We brought the baby." Sounds like a sweet trip for the family and probably the first of many music festivals for the little rocker in the making.

Sasquatch: Mythic Creature With Great Taste in Music

BuzzSugar — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:30:00 -0800

The Sasquatch Music Festival, held annually at a gorgeous outdoor amphitheater in George, Washington, has just released this year's lineup, and at first glance I'm liking what I see. R.E.M. and The Cure are the big headliners, which, like Coachella where they're spotlighting Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, is in keeping with this year's trend of bringing back older bands. At least with Sasquatch I don't have to go as far back as bell bottoms; I just have to dig out my Doc Martens (or find new versions of my old Docs!).

Billboard reports that The Flaming Lips will premiere their anticipated film Christmas on Mars at Sasquatch. They'll also perform their U.F.O. Show in which the band emerges from a giant U.F.O. and then one of them finds himself in a hamster ball of some sort. I've seen these guys live, and it's super fun.

For more bands in the lineup and ticket information, read more.

The festival is held on Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26 and tickets go on sale March 8th for $56.50 per day. The price increases two days later. Also, this is a camping event so you have to plan for that as well. More info is available here.

A good chunk of the lineup is what I would describe as "Northwesty" as many of them hail from that part of the map, including Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Built to Spill, The New Pornographers, and Kinski. In addition to those bands M.I.A., the Hives, Tegan & Sara, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and the Breeders will be there, along with Flight of the Conchords! I'd also love to check out power-bop band The Cops that I've heard a lot of good things about.

A little something for everybody, no? What do you guys think of this lineup?

Coachella Music Fest Lineup: Hipsters, Start Your Engines!

BuzzSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 07:30:56 -0800

While the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival has become a giant, crowded experience that has gone increasingly Hollywood over the years, the festival still continues to book some pretty excellent bands. At first glance, this year's lineup, announced Monday at a press conference in Mexico City, has some folks feeling underwhelmed. Still, there's enough good stuff planned for the three days of fun in the Southern California desert that music fans like myself will still want to get busy mapping out the bands they want to see from April 25 to 27.

The big news this year is a performance by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, who will re-create Dark Side of the Moon, as well as a Portishead reunion, according to the LA Times. The festival organizers also confirmed what had been rumored for months: They're bringing a Coachella-style music festival to the East Coast. On Aug. 8 to 10, the first All Points West Music & Arts Festival will take place at Liberty State Park in New Jersey. This might be a good option for the not-so-outdoorsy music lover, because it won't have camping a la Cochella.

For more information about how to get tickets and to hear about some of the bands from the 125-act lineup that caught my eye, read more.

Tickets for Coachella will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, Jan. 26. Three-day passes are $269 plus taxes and fees, and single-day tickets are $90 each. More info is available here.

It's pretty hard to top the earth-shattering Rage Against the Machine reunion from last year; however, there are some pretty cool recently united bands performing this year, including the Verve and the Breeders. I'd love to see Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, M.I.A., Fat Boy Slim, and Rilo Kiley. I'm also really curious about how bands like Vampire Weekend sound live.

As festival season continues to ramp up, there will be a lot more news out of Coachella and other music festivals, including more details on ticket sales and lineup for All Points West, so stay tuned!

Coachella: Wish I Was There

PopSugarUK — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:27:42 -0700

As much as I love London, I really wish I could have spent the weekend at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California. The lineup was insanely good with everyone from Prince to Kate Nash performing to thousands. As expected, with such an awesome lineup, there were plenty of celebs on and off stage, including Sienna Miller, Agyness Deyn, Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne who stayed on from the US NME Awards last week – probably tempted by the fact it's a music festival where you don't have to worry about getting trenchfoot.

Cute Hollywood guys Shia LeBeouf and Elijah Wood were also in the audience for the myriad of awesome acts including Sia, Rilo Kiley and Yelle.

To see more of our eclectic gallery, including Alicia Silverstone, Jamie from the Klaxons, Steven Tyler, Ricky Wilson, The Breeders, Allison Goldfrapp and others, just read more
