Coachella 2012: Everything But the Music During Weekend One
Coachella is a music festival first and foremost, but that doesn’t always mean the some of the best sights and sounds there have anything to do with who’s singing. Celebrity sightings, fashion hits and misses, robots, and weirdos abound in Indio, and what better way to capture it all than through the eyes of the fans?
From the spotty weather on the first day to the exhausting final hours, we present a recap of the scene surrounding the stages at Coachella 2012’s first weekend…
DAY ONE
We love the smell of music in the morning. #coachella
