We’re deep into spring in the West. That means that it’s about time for hundreds of artists and thousands of music fans to descend upon the Coachella Valley for a two-weekend jamboree.
This year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival runs from April 12-14 and 19-21, with headliners ranging from pop rock staple Lana Del Ray to rappers Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat.
Throw in a reunion show by pop rock legends No Doubt and you have a pretty good idea of who will be taking the stage in Indio in April, drawing festival attendees of all ages once again in 2024.
BetCalifornia.com took a break from our coverage from efforts to legalize California sports betting so we could tune into the top 10 states most frequently searching “Coachella tickets.” We used Google Trends on March 21 – but with the obvious first spot going to California, we removed the state from the running. Then we ranked the next top 10 states searching for tickets.
Based on our research, Washington D.C. is the area where folks are seeking tickets the most outside of California.
With D.C. (80 search interest score) topping our list, technically the state that’s most enthusiastic about this year’s Coachella festival is Nevada (39 search interest score). Then comes another of California’s neighbors, Arizona (33 search interest score).
Another nearby state, Utah, is fourth nationally at 30. Kentucky (22 points), Georgia (16), New York (15), Florida (9), Texas and Illinois (7 each) round out the list. Many of those states have legal sports wagering but folks in the Golden State still await legal California sportsbook apps.
Regardless of which artists draw revelers to the Valley next month, interest in the April festival – held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio – is surging as the opening day of the 2024 iteration draws closer.
