When is Coachella 2018?

Coachella takes place over two three-day weekends in the summer.

This year, Weekend One ran last weekend- from April 13-15, and Weekend Two from April 20-22.

It's the same line-up for both weekends, so you won't miss out whichever one you pick.

Coachella, which has been running since 1999, is now one of the US' most successful music festivals.

It attracts a quarter of a million people across the two weekends - to the Empire Polo Club site in Indio Valley, near Palm Springs.
