TO ACTIVATE YOUR WRISTBAND...
ABOUT YOUR WRISTBAND
For the safety and comfort of festival
attendees, staff and local residents,
your Coachella pass is a high-security
RFID-encrypted wristband that will
be scanned upon entry to the festival
and camping grounds. Everyone is
required to wear a wristband within
the one-mile perimeter of the site.
Festivalgoers cannot pass through the
police vehicle checkpoints without a
properly applied wristband.

1. Go to Coachella.com and log-in to (or create)
your account.
2. Follow the instructions in the Wristband
Activation panel.
3. Find the seven-digit Unique ID number on the
underside of the RFID badge and enter it into
the form, along with your first and last name.
4. Only activate the wristband you will be wearing.
1. Slip untightened wristband over
your RIGHT wrist.
2. To tighten the wristband, hold
onto the tail and slide the closure
towards your wrist. DO NOT
over-tighten the wristband.
Leave ONE INDEX FINGER of
space between your wrist and
the wristband for comfort and
security.
Regardless of how you enter the Coachella
area, your wristband will be checked before
entering the perimeter by police and staff.
NO ONE without a wristband may enter the
one-mile perimeter surrounding Coachella.
WRISTBAND IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES!
• NO WRISTBAND = EJECTION!
• POSSESION OF A TAMPERED WRISTBAND
IS CAUSE FOR EJECTION!
• NO REFUNDS IF WRISTBAND IS
REMOVED OR TAMPERED WITH!
• REPORT WRISTBAND ISSUES TO STAFF
OR SECURITY IMMEDIATELY!
Do not subject your sensitive RFID
wristband to fire, cutting, excessive
twisting, pulling, stretching or
customization.
SUBMIT
Activating your wristband gives you access
to enhanced customer services.
You can also use the 2015 Coachella mobile app to activate your wristband (starting in April).
WRISTBAND

Your wristband CANNOT BE
LOOSENED once it is fitted to your
wrist. You only get one shot at this,
so we suggest that you seek the
help of another person when putting
on your wristband.

MUSIC
• Use sunscreen and SPF lip balm or you WILL burn.
• Beware open-toed shoes in big crowds. Heels look nice, but will
slow you down when walking across the field day and night.
• Plan for delays when traveling to and from the festival.
• Choose a physical meeting spot with your
friends. DON’T rely on cellphones.
• Timestamp your text messages since delivery delays can occur.
• Hats might be a good idea for sun protection, but
don’t block people’s view with a large hat.
• Beware chafing. You’ll be doing a lot of
walking around and it really hurts.
• Pack wipes for a quick and refreshing clean off.
• Fanny packs are perfect for packing all you’ll need.
• Backpacks bother those around you. Leave it in the car, or
check it in a locker when you enter (Locker info on pg. 25).
Credit Card/ATM: New for 2015,
Coachella vendors will accept all
credit cards. ATM machines are also
located throughout the venue.
*Credit card payments courtesy of American
Express®, the payment partner of Coachella.
Extra Car Key: Hide a spare (not on
the tire) or give one to a friend to hold.
Comfortable Shoes:
You are going to be
walking, standing
and dancing for
three full days.
Phone Charger: It’s
BYOC at the on-site
charging stations.
Sun Protection: The desert sun can
be brutal. A brimmed hat, UV-rated
sunglasses and strong sunscreen are
essential for protecting yourself from
burning, dehydration and exhaustion.
Change of clothing: Light
outfits during the day and
long sleeves at night.

2014 Art Highlights
CAMPING
Look for dozens of works spread across the festival site and campgrounds.
MUSIC
The original works specially commissioned for Coachella 2015 were curated from a
renowned group of established and up-and-coming artists, on par with the musical
talent performing on the stages.
ART
Every year, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival strives to live up to its
name by pushing the boundaries of dramatic, large scale, outdoor art installations.
AMENITIES
THE ART OF COACHELLA
25
Exchange empty bottles and cans for fresh water or
other Coachella merchandise and experiences. Keep
the site clean, recycle and stay hydrated all at once.
(Learn more about our sustainability programs on pages 32-33.]
Info Kiosks
Need help? Have a question?
Visit any of the kiosks
located in the venue and
campgrounds for immediate
support from staff or
security. Kiosk in camping
hub is open 24 hours a day.
Drink water and then more water.
Free Water Refill Stations
Fill any non-metal container at the free drinking water
stations located throughout the venue. Souvenir water
bottles are for sale at the Merchandise Tent or General
Store, or bring your own refillable bottle (no metal).
Bathrooms
Over 1500 portable restrooms. Hundreds
of new flushable toilets added to the lobby,
near The Do Lab and Craft Beer Barn.
Restroom trailers have flushing
toilets and air-conditioning.
Personal hand sanitizer, wet wipes, seat
covers and toilet paper can be lifesavers.
Shade
Tents and other covered areas are
located throughout the site.
Coachella is a marathon, not a sprint.
Pace yourself, take a break and sit down.
Desert heat, bright sunlight and too
much booze can be a bad situation.
(See pages 28-29 for details.)
Lockers
A limited number of lockers
are available to rent in the main
lobby. Book yours in advance at
lockersonline.com. Be kind to Lou.
Don’t leave vinyl records in the lockers.
