Don’t have passes to this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and starting to feel some FOMO?

While passes for this year’s two festival weekends (April 10-12 and 17-19) sold out back in September, there’s no need for you to fear completely missing out on all the acts.

We looked up every artist playing at Coachella this year and found several shows happening in Los Angeles or cities about two hours away from L.A. by car (if the traffic gods are looking upon you kindly) between the festival weekends or shortly before or after the fest.

That’s despite Coachella, and presenter Goldenvoice, being known for strict “radius clauses” — the subject of a 2018 antitrust lawsuit filed by an Oregon music festival against Goldenvoice that was settled in 2020 — that prohibit artists from performing at other festivals for months before Coachella and for a couple weeks after (though notably, many of the shows we found are presented by Goldenvoice).

We’ve listed the shows by date below.

And if you want to get your Coachella fix at home, many of the festival's performances will livestream on YouTube and through the Coachella livestream app.

FKA twigs says "eusexua" can arise from a multitude of experiences. She told NPR, "It's pure presence. It's a moment of nothingness. Or it's the moment before a really incredible idea."
