#COACHELLA 2018: The Good and The Bad

The second week of April means one thing to every pop-culture obsessed millennial in the USA… Coachella has arrived. The stacked festival filled with the hottest acts equally excites music lovers and 20-something year olds.

As a music enthusiast and Coachella veteran, I chose to track the trending #Coachella hashtag to see what people were saying about the festival.

1) While Coachella might have over 100 artists performing, only one artist on the roster really matters… Beyoncé. Beyoncé was the most talked about festival performer on Twitter.

2) Coachella brings celebrities and average people together.  Below, a fan snapped a video of Justin Bieber enjoying the festival from the crowd.

3) Overnight sensation ‘The Walmart Kid’ made his very own Coachella debut.

4) Among all of the good #Coachella tweets, I found some negative tweets that shine a light on the personal donations of Coachella owner, Philip Anschutz to Pro-Gun and Anti- LGBT organizations.

Other Tweets argue that Anschutz actually gifted $1 million to Elton John’s LGBT organization.

While there are both positive and negative things being said about the festival and it’s owner on Twitter, one thing is for sure, there is no shortage of Coachella coverage on social media.
