The festival that everyone dreams to go, but only a few actually make it to is Coachella.
Once an all-white event has crossed over into the urban, R&B, and hip-hop world as a glamorous getaway.
With The Weeknd and Ye (Kanye West) as recent headliners, the event is marked as a must-see. Frank Ocean is set to hit this stage this year, and yes you guessed it: It’s sold out!
