Head Trip EDM Festival to Take Over Coachella Valley for One-Time Event in October 2026
The Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, is gearing up to host the Head Trip electronic dance music festival on October 10 and 11, 2026, in the Coachella Valley. Big names like Calvin Harris, Skrillex, and Swedish House Mafia will be performing. Romain Pissenem’s High Scream is creating a unique, sci-fi stage design that will enhance the desert backdrop. Instead of multiple stages, this festival will have just one to streamline the schedule, but expect intermissions with artists like Peggy Gou and Four Tet, plus Dom Dolla and Kettama. The event starts at 3 p.m. each day, and there are still some general admission and VIP passes available, along with car camping options. This venue is also famous for Coachella and Stagecoach.
