COACHELLA
Probably the most hyped and exciting music fest in the world, Coachella is a staple you need to go at least once (remember #Beychella in 2019?).
For 2019, the headliners include Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande. Another reason to join the merriment is that there are many Asian reps for 2019 including Blackpink, Hyukoh and Jambinai from South Korea; and Japanese girl group Perfume.
