Will the lineup be the same both weekends?

That's the plan!

Can I bring family to the camping area?

All campground attendees must be 18 years of age or older, with ID. Or, if under 18, all attendees must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. (See below for information on Legal Guardianship) Every camper must have their own festival pass.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (182) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (183)

What defines a legal guardian?

A legal guardian is a person who has the legal authority and corresponding duty to care for the personal and property interests of another person, called a ward. Usually, a person has the status of guardian because the ward is incapable of caring for his or her own interests due to infancy, incapacity, or disability.

Most countries and states have laws that provide that the parents of a minor child are the legal guardians of that child, and that the parents can designate who shall become the child’s legal guardian in the event of death.

A legal guardianship is obtained through court order, and the legal process for doing so is initiated by the prospective guardian.

Please note: An older sibling, older friend or friend of the family does not automatically count as a legal guardian. A legal guardian is someone who would be held legally responsible for you by a court of law. Generally, a legal guardian is the one who takes care of the minor when the minor’s birth-parents are no longer living, in jail or have lost their legal rights.

Let’s use the Medium Locker as an example. The ticketing company charges $65. You bring the scannable ticket to locker check-in. You tell our staff what your combination is, they write it down and set up the combo lock for you and you’re on your way to use the locker. When you return the combo lock to us you immediately receive $10 cash back. Your net total cost for the Medium Locker for three days is $55. You’ll leave the festival with $10 in your pocket – gas money for the drive home

I hate lines...?

We all hate lines. Help us help you quicker by coming with your mobile ticket ready to be scanned. When it’s time to go home, all combo lock deposit refunds are issued quickly. Just give the combo lock and your mobile ticket to one of us and we’ll scan you out and hand you a $10 bill. No forms, no IDs, no complications. Sometimes there’s a line, but it moves fast, and it won’t take long to get your money.

Will I be able to use the locker any time I want?

You must have a festival wristband to access the lockers during show hours. When the event is over each night, the grounds are closed, and you will not be able to access the lockers until the following day.

Can I pay for the lockers at the event?

Maybe. There is a limited supply of lockers – and all of them are available online right now. Every locker will probably be reserved online before the festival begins. No one knows for sure. If the lockers sell out online, as they have for the past 9 years, there won’t be any lockers available to rent at the festival – unless someone cancels at the last minute.

If I can't make it to the festival or don't need my locker reservation, can I get a refund for my locker?

Yes! Please reach out to us by email at lockers@coachella.comby the Friday before your festival weekend. We’d love to give another fan the opportunity to store their belongings.

What happens if I lose my combo lock?

If you lose the combo lock, you will forfeit the $10 deposit. You will receive a new combo lock and will need to pay another refundable $10 deposit. Once you return the new combo lock, you will receive the second deposit back. If you find your “lost” combo lock and can unlock it, you’ll receive your original deposit back too.

Can I change my clothes in your locker tent?

Yes, we’ve got you covered.

Do I bring my own padlock?

No! You cannot use your own lock. You must use the lock provided by us. There is no additional charge for the use of our lock, which remains as our property. A $10.00 refundable lock deposit is collected when you reserve the keyless combo lock online.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (208) Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (209)

If someone had a locker at a previous festival, will the same combination open my locker this weekend?

No. You set your own combination.

Here’s Why:

All locks are removed from the lockers and returned for the $10 deposit at the end of each festival. All combinations are re-set to “0000”. The locks are placed in a bin and one is chosen at random when you check-in. You then personally create your own four-digit code for your Lock.
