LOS ANGELES — With the first weekend of Coachella in the rearview and the second weekend of the music festival coming up, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced that Coachella and Stagecoach will generate a combined $700 million for the local economy.
The governor’s office said the state continues to lead as a global hub for creativity and culture.
“California’s creative economy is an economic engine,” said Gov. Newsom in a statement. “Events like Coachella and Stagecoach don’t just showcase incredible talent — they power local economies, support small businesses, and reinforce California’s position as the entertainment capital of the world.”
Last Friday, Sabrina Carpenter headlined, with Justin Bieber headlining on Saturday.
Colombian superstar Karol G closed out Weekend 1 of Coachella on Sunday night.
Weekend 2 is scheduled for April 17-19.
Last year, Coachella welcomed nearly 250,000 visitors across two consecutive weekends and generated an estimated $902 million in Media Impact Value, according to Newsom’s office.
