Head Trip is a one-time-only, one-stage desert music experience produced by the Coachella promoter — debuting October 10–11, 2026 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the same venue that hosts Coachella every April. Conceived as the most ambitious single-stage dance music event ever attempted at the Coachella grounds, Head Trip strips away the multi-stage chaos to focus the entire 50,000-person crowd on one massive production with no overlapping sets — meaning every artist on the bill plays uninterrupted to the full crowd.
Head Trip 2026 runs across Saturday October 10 and Sunday October 11, with a separate bill each day. The one-stage format means you catch every set without conflicts.
Empire Polo Club is the legendary Coachella venue — manicured polo fields, towering palm trees, the Santa Rosa Mountains as backdrop, and the desert sunset that defines the Coachella visual identity. Head Trip uses the venue in single-stage mode, building the most ambitious production the field has ever held outside of Coachella itself. The 18+ format, the one-time-only premise, and the dance-music focus make this the rare Coachella-grounds festival that exists for one specific reason — and tickets are moving fast.
