Coachella 2026 reached a record financial peak of $200 million, driven by major acts like Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter, yet the experience for most attendees was deeply negative. The festival’s infrastructure collapsed under demand, with lines stretching hours before gates open, temperatures soaring past 109°F, and inadequate access to showers and toilets. Regular attendees faced extreme hardships, including spending thousands on preferred parking, using porta-potties deemed gross and unhygienic, or enduring long waits for basic sanitation. In contrast, VIP and Safari camping packages offered luxury amenities—like private showers, AC, and 30-minute massages—at prices up to $10,000, highlighting a vast inequality in access. Food prices were exorbitant, with meals costing hundreds of dollars, and some items like a strawberry sandwich were priced at $22 despite being simple. The festival’s core appeal—music and community—was overshadowed by logistical failures, environmental neglect, and a culture where wealth determines comfort. Critics argue that money does not buy happiness at Coachella, as the event has become a symbol of extravagance and class division, where the majority of attendees are left struggling in harsh conditions while elites enjoy curated, sanitized experiences. The video concludes with a satirical call to action for viewers to become members for “free line, free toilet, free shower,” underscoring the festival’s inherent contradictions and failures in accessibility and equity.
Coachella, 2026, we're here, baby! It's gonna run you $1200 USD. This is literally someone's child's bedroom! Coachella, one of the biggest music festivals in the year, which happens to take place in California, and they had their biggest year in a decade, thanks to Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter, and their estimated revenue for this year alone is $200 million. While Coachella CEO was enjoying making bank, the people that actually went to Coachella weren't as happy or should I say the regulars, aka people who want to belong with the elites, were having a horrible time with the lines. So the lines for this year were even crazier than last year, by the way. And the worst POV that we actually had was from this video at 3am, while the gates don't actually open until 9am. And as you can tell from the view here, they're not even actually close to Coachella. So the line started blocks before Coachella, like straight from the city. And for the people that are actually first in line, I believe that to camp for 24 to 48 hours before this even started, just so you can pick the spot that you want to park, because preferred parking is actually very expensive because of scalpers. And it's usually around $1,000 to $1,500, because we saw a TikToker bought it last year for 1.1K, I believe. I had to do a payment plan for this shit. Because paying 1.1K for a parking spot that does not actually exist, it's just there for Coachella, and then that place doesn't exist anymore, seems unreal. And a problem that Coachella's usually struggle with is the showers, because when you're in the middle of the desert and it's very hard, and you're sweating all the time, you got a shower. And they have three regular showers, the regular showers, which are free, the paid showers, and the VIP showers. Or you can bring your own shower camp. - Chower situation, this is the pop-up that we have. - Side, we have this bamboo mask, so your feet don't get dirty with the muddy grass. And we have our bucket filled with water. And this is the shower head that we use. So basically, all you do is you push that, turns on, and this doesn't turn on unless you actually push the button, so. - That is low-key, pretty good. - And it's just like a regular shower head. When you pay thousands of dollars, and then at the end, you also have to spend money to bring your own shower. So then what am I paying old, oh, I forgot my bad, I'm paying for a preferred parking. - So you get a preferred parking, but then you got to bring your own shower, maybe bring your own toilet. What else do I have to bring? Do I also have to bring the festival? Do I have to go to Justin Bieber's house like, see if I can invite him in a peasanty way? Hey, Justin, I know you don't know me, but I pay thousands of dollars. Do you mind like if you perform for us real quick? - Sorry. - I mean, you don't have to just, I mean, yeah, like, sure. Please. - Justin, please. - And I want to show you the regular showers this year, because last year, as we saw, they were crazy busy. Like, there were hours and hours. The lines were so long that it was miserable, and the heat was killing these people. But surprisingly, this year, the regular showers weren't as busy. And you were probably saying it cannot be that bad, that the regular showers are not busy. So let's take a look at the regular showers. - Okay, 7.30 a.m., it's time to take a shower. The super duper showers are so long, but the regular showers is no line. - I wonder why there's the line for the super duper showers right now? - Oh my God. - That is crazy. We go up to the shower. - Let's take a look at the regular showers for the brokeies. - Okay, perfect example. Here's one that's empty, regular shower, and then a changing room with a little saw. - A changing room? This is the same shape as the shower with a curtain separating them. The standards of the bar is on the floor. She's, she saw a curtain there and she's like, so there's actually two different rooms here. You probably can't see it, but there is. Actually, there's another room after this curtain. So technically, you get like five different separated rooms in the shower only. - Girl, it's literally one box here and it's separated with a curtain. - And a hook. - A hook, a hook. - Okay, it's time for a shower. I think I'm gonna wash my hair even though I really don't want to have to style it, but it needs to be washed. - Yeah, I just see people is gonna see you. - I literally forgot a towel. So that's all. - Don't forget to bring a towel. Shower's done and I'm soaking wet. I love how one of the highlights for this regular shower was a, the hook. A hook or. So this is what the regular showers actually look like. They are, there's actually like 50 rooms in one corner, but you can't really see that because they're divided by curtains. But now, let me show you the super duper showers. And no, I didn't make that name up. They literally called it super duper shower 'cause they want to make it seem like you're getting something fancy. And here's the actual difference between the free shower and the super duper shower. - Would you rather choose free showers or paid showers? I could tell you. - Let me see what the paid showers have. - The longer lines and less privacy, the super. - You're lying. - We just saw the lines, girl. The free showers were empty and the super duper ones were full. - For duper showers are $10, but you get more space. - No kiddo? - More privacy. - Oh, no kiddo. Yeah, like that door. As a guide though, I do not give a fuck about the super duper showers because I don't need more privacy. Maybe if you're a girl, I understand you need more privacy. And I think the $10 is worth it because you get to close the door and you feel more safe. But as a guide though, I do not give a blank lock. I am not paying $10 for a super duper shower due to because I get to close the door. Oh, okay. I mean, I don't even close the door in my own house. So my question is, what happens if you have to shower in the regular and the super duper mega duper who per super showers are full? How do you shower? And the craziest part about this is that the showers are an open 24/7. They actually close at 7 p.m. So if you haven't showered before 7 p.m. You're fucked. I don't know why maybe they cleaned them, but there's a line the entire time. So if you haven't showered in a while, what do you do? Well, basically, you have to go lower. And you're probably like, how can you go lower than the regular showers? Well, they brought in the porta-potty showers. Okay, I just took my third Coachella shower and my hack is to use these porta-potty ones because there's honestly. I think I'm gonna skip, yeah. You know what though, I would rather die. There's so much room and space for you to leave your. What is happening outside is someone trying to break in your porta-potty there? And it's a little bit gross, but you know, it works. And these ones also are always open, so you can just skip the line and go right into the. I would love to do that. Oh, and there's this one that's bigger. The people wait for these, and personally, I don't really like them because everyone's in there. It's like hot and nowhere to leave your stuff. So if you don't want to wait in the line, just go to the front and ask to use the porta ones. I would rather not, how about that? I don't know if what she said. And it's a little gross, a little. I am not stepping foot in a porta-potty shower. She made it seem like this was the life hack. And I mean, the actual life hack here is that no one's using it for a reason. People would rather go to those crazy lines and wait for an actual shower, then use a nasty porta-potty. There's a reason why there's no lines. Ew, absolutely not. The floor is grossing me out. I mean, it's free. What do you do on an AC in there? But if you do want to skip all the lines for the super duper, the regulars, the porta-potty, and everything else, have you heard of Safari Camping? For a small price of your left testicle, or maybe a heart transplant, that you can sell somewhere for like, it only costs like $10,000, but hey, you at least get a good shower. Let's check out the bathroom situation. Just my little tent. It's a far shower. Let's take a look at this Safari shower. See, like, okay, oh. I mean, it looks clean. It does look tight as hell though, but at least it looks clean. Okay, cool. I mean, for $10,000, I would expect something. Oh, little bit, you know, like, let me get some space here. You don't have to shower like this. 'Cause it's so tight in there. Come on, dude. What if someone's like, big as hell, you know, and they pay $10,000? That's the best shower that they can get. So since the general admission is anywhere between $700 to $1.5K, depending on when you get these tickets, 'cause most of the time they sell out really quickly, so you have to get it from a resealer that would most likely sell them to you for an insane price, like $1,000, $1,500, depending on how you get them. If you're paying for just the general admission to find a non-preferred spot in the actual festival, it is brutal as hell. Believe it or not.
It's an actual marathon when they open the doors so people can get their spots And this is happening hours before the actual festival by the way and then once you secure a spot You have to stay in the sun peak sun that would kill you for hours Make it out alive and then wait for Justin Bieber to come just in Bieber Coachella Buried run currently feels like a hundred and nine Fahrenheit degrees So this is the entrance this is when it begins security is super nice at Coachella. Oh My god Three two one Jesus people are all running for their own lives Oh, they do this fast. Oh, he's literally passing everyone who says the flash Stay with me cuz we aren't even halfway How far are the actual doors from the place that the festival is being held Look at this They really got the flashing here. Oh I thought he said did you want to see I thought he saw Justin Bieber for a second like Justin was waiting for him Like you're doing great, sweetie. You're almost here at my festival. Come on. Come on Well, no, that was just him yelling. I love you Justin Can you not shake the camera like I'm getting seasick right now? I know you're like finding for your life. Can you like dude? How the Are you okay? Are you okay? Who are these people? Why are they why they live in first probably the people who paid for prefer Spot or apparently they're VIP, but in the wrong section. Oh Anyways, barricade secure But Justin, what is all this extra space for why is barricade a mile away from Cadwalk? Cuz Justin does want doesn't want to deal with creeps like you expect Justin to be right here Dude you paid for a general you don't get any rights. Are you actually hoping for rights as a general admission? You only pay like 1.5k compared to the people paid at least think dude. You got no rights here. What the fuck you think? Justin is too far away. You might be lucky if you get to breathe the same air as Justin that day. You want to see Justin? We're gonna fast forward an hour or two after Justin Bieber's performance because the place after his performance Look like a landfill full of trash What the fuck happened here clean up your trash and no one's cleaning it up They're literally just taking pictures and no one's cleaning up their trash No one's cleaning it up Can you imagine the cleanup crew showing up like if that was me and I saw that mess I would have just quit right there mid shift. I'd be like hell no fam. They don't pay me enough for this shit What is wrong not a single person you don't pick it up after yourself Look at it just keeps going look at all of the trash Younger nasty picture in the trash This is the most distopian influence you should have seen so far This is actual proof that money doesn't buy class because what do you mean you see the place full of trash? And instead of like actually picking at least pick something up You know, I'm not saying clean the whole place up, but pick something up You can hear them walking over it and then there's another girl She's like, you know what let's take some pictures of the aftermath from JB Yeah, let's take a pictures with the me with the trash because I feel like I'm surrounded with my sisters. Yeah, trash Mind you this is an event with wealthy people I mean, I wouldn't say all of them are wealthy people because we did see the girl that she needed a payment plan for a preferred parking So I don't think all of them are wealthy, but still to take pictures at a place that looks like a landfill full of trash I want to show you the view of the stage from one of the VIP sections Oh, it's Justin Bieber. Oh, hell not. Oh, my god. The odd booty cheeks. You can't even see the part. There's literally half you're seeing half a screen here. You can't even see Justin Bieber on stage I would be upset You might as well watch this shit on YouTube I feel like YouTube had a much better an HD view of this Well, he's over here looking at like fans like I can hear Justin from me I mean, I don't want to look at Justin cuz like I know what he looks like, you know, cuz I just I just want to listen to him Lives so I'm just over here. I paid $10,000 to listen to him in in 4k. Yeah, I'm gonna listen from here. I don't need to watch him This is what I like to call a $10,000 VIP premium gluten-free view For $10,000 you can probably have Justin come to your house and you can watch him perform live for at least five minutes But in this scenario, you didn't actually go to see Justin Bieber You went there to hear Justin Bieber you might as well stay outside Coachella and you could still hear him We all know Coachella is a breeding ground for main character influencers, right? Because I do have a juicy video for you guys Oh, should I say deleted video and you're gonna see immediately why this influencer ended up deleting this video? And it says POV people have all the room in the world and they still have to push you out on your own video Oh, they oh my god, they walked Guys don't walk in front of her like don't walk Not one but two different groups walking in front of our queen's camera They're lucky enough to be breathing the same air that she's breathing and then they want to push their luck and walk in front of her camera Also, why is it so dirty though? What why is why are all the clips that I'm seeing of the festival like they're all there's trash everywhere And the fact that this video has more comments than likes I'm pretty sure the whole comment section was telling her that she's being the main character That's why she ended up deleting it quickly. One of the things that I find really interesting every single year There's this rumor that goes around that your favorite influencers stink We saw this in 2025 and I sighed again in 2026 of this girl who actually got to use the VIP toilet. I don't know if she kind of like Snuck in there, but she was mortified I don't what the fuck Is influencers eat those VIP bathrooms were talking so many things I've ever They eat so sweet. That's what they eat. I mean listen It's not just the influencers. I'm pretty sure it's a lot of people because it's in the desert. It's very hard Barely having any access to showers. It's so sour like funky And when you're a regular that goes to Coachella every year and you see the disaster that happens There was someone who was passing out diapers Actually diapers because showers and toilets are not that accessible So you know what at least give them something to prevent the disaster from happening anyone on this bus need an adult diaper for later She's not joking though Wait, why are they laughing though? Can I offer anyone an adult diaper? Okay, you don't have to wait in line if you just wear an adult diaper Low-key though the board of others are disgusting Think about adult diapers. This is why although to need a diaper at a festival that you're None of this like have we seen a video so far where people are like oh my god This is actually amazing like wow This is like the best experience in the world every single video is just people suffering I Want to move over to the food side for a second because I'm not here to complain about the prices We all know the price of the food is gonna be insane. Although you know I was so good But the food just looks unappealing like it looks like the most bland Boring food that I've seen and these people are being top dollar I could probably have Gordon Ramsay come to my house and he's probably gonna be cheaper than the food that these people are buying here But let's play a quick game and I want to ask you how much do you think a cup of coffee cost here? Matcha was $6 yesterday and $13 say So a day before the festival actually starts during Friday drinks and food are low cheaper and then Saturday and Sunday They double in price for the increase the pro. No, the and the added of the and the poll that's actually more than double, right? But I think it's the festival that makes them increase should I get a $17 coffee you guys? Yes, the answer is always yes. I meant the whole I haven't got me a coffee Venti this is literally a medium at Starbucks Venti latte at can only at canoli. Maybe that's a syrup. Okay taste test cheers If she's doing the taste test now girl. Where's the was like 20% of the drink if I'm gonna be 70?
They better fill that shit up to the to the brain where it's spale. I want to see it's spale This looks like they were a little cheap on the Best this is so testable coffee 50 dollars for three Coffee's in matcha when I say nothing about Coachella seems fun to me Especially when I see all these videos and I saw this girl who was literally just eating lunch and she's seen miserable Like what do you mean? You're eating lunch and lunch looks like she's having the worst time of our life Lunch at Coachella day zero. How much do y'all think that sandwich cost? We got here at 2.30 a.m. Didn't get inside until I think 9.30 a.m. 2.30 as hot as last year, so I'm trying not to complain. It's still Pretty bad especially like walking around the car campaign situation is so weird this year I don't know the lots are like empty. We ended up getting parked in lot seven Which is like you look miserable showers a camping hub. There's everything on to the real-mill I got a Teriyaki bull probably like 35 dollars for that You look miserable there's literally flies everywhere of course we got to have a little Listen if you if I can't enjoy my lunch, which I love my lunch by the way She's over like sweating flies. I was like girl fly. Let me this I'll save you a piece later fly This there's food for both of us here. There's enough for both. Okay, let me finish it I'll save you like a piece of rice and some shit. Give me a break Oh, so have you ever wondered what a hundred and fifty dollars worth of food gets you at Coachella or you have I got you Everything I ate for a hundred and fifty dollars at Coachella first up these mac and cheese fried chicken loaded fries We're twenty six dollars, but it was honestly worth it because the chicken was so juicy and crispy and the mac and cheese was Super creamy and I have this spicy sauce - twenty six dollars mac and cheese Well, when have you ever seen closer mac and cheese? It's the cheapest shit they can make and if a twenty five dollar pink Sparkly Caesar salad isn't the most L.A. Coachella thing I've ever seen 25 I would like it had these sugary soft sweet potatoes and this crunchy almond par and three tacos was 19 dollars So over six dollars the taco. I don't know if it was just because we were in the VIP section But they were so good to like crispy savory pork and this tangy guac and I really wanted to hate the Seventeen dollar halionic acid a sauté super food smooth It was good It was thick and sweet and really refreshing. I was really excited for this spice This is the most like influencer shit I've ever seen. I really want to hate this eighteen dollars super Ronic life-saving blueberry muffin vanilla booty hole opening a sigh bowl drink But like I couldn't hate it because it tastes like this like a sigh guys and you know me I have a soft spot for a sigh the majority of the stuff that you got it's microwave stuff They literally throw that shit in a microwave for a minute. It's pre-packaged 20 it was a 20-year dollar. I just forgot shit. I got dementia 23 dollars for frozen mac and cheese Tell me about Max famous mac and cheese. It was 21 dollars the gluten free tortilla wasn't it for me But the tuna was really tender. It definitely needed the sriracha sauce though It wasn't spicy enough on its own and finally probably the biggest bummer of the day was this $24 bond me that they didn't even make to order Like he just handed me the bag and it was kind of dry and flavorless But there's a lot more Coachella food to come and that's all for today. I wonder why it was kind of stale and dry What do you guys think you might have been like a little stale and dry? I wondered if it was a little bit frozen on the inside Yeah, but what if you're craving something sweet because personally I I have a sweet tooth I will always crave something sweet and I feel like if you don't crave something sweet You might be a weirdo if no one has told you that and you feel like a pick me that oh, I don't eat sweets after I Lunch or dinner or whatever you are you just being a pick me if you don't like sweets then What do you like you know like you're probably not a sweet person yourself? And one of the most popular desserts there was their strawberry sandwich Strawberry sandwich. Let's eat a strawberry sandwich from Coachella. I'm so chill. I'm from the stand Sandoichi Sandoichi so it's Japanese white bread with cream and strawberries It was $21 and some change. I know it's a lot for a sandwich, but it's so good. Cheers Here's the second one. Oh, what happened to the first one? I haven't eaten anything today. It's 152 So this is like hitting the star in him Damn, the people like Coachella are starving So about $22 for a strawberry sandwich and it's basically just Wide bread a few strawberries and a whipped cream Did they fly the stupid sandwich in first class all the way from Japan and they brought it here because to put this in Perspective for you this the original sandwich that comes from Japan the original Strawberry sandwich is three to four dollars in Japan and the fact that they're selling it at Coachella for almost $22 and you know they made that shit there, right? This did not how much do you want to bet that this is this did not come from Japan like I understand that it's gonna be expensive like a 15 dollars for this sandwich, but 22 dollars for a piece of bread with whipped cream and two strawberries in there come on But if you want a more realistic experience if you're not an influencer or like what people eat there Without paying much money. This is what they do. We're set up. We did a little tour of the camping site now. It's time for lunch We're cooking some burgers Glitchella Glitchella is on him poppin They brought ceviche first light Something is sane actually happened this year because usually hotels that are near Coachella jack up their prices Like at least up to 10 times or some shit I've seen hotels that cost about 5,000 10,000 20,000 I've even seen for 40,000 for two nights just because they're close to Coachella and I've seen so many Airbnb's Cancel on people because they jack up their prices because they know people are desperate to find a place to stay because they don't want to do car Camping but what made this year even quit this is just basically Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter There was parents renting out their kids bedroom because they were close to Coachella for two thousand dollars You can have this person's entire house rented out the thing is I'm pretty sure no one has ever lived here There's nothing there. What's going on? But a baby just bought those beds yesterday like this is a totally empty house I'm pretty sure this house was just like for rent or for sale. Oh my god Say agent is looking to make a couple extra dollars this weekend because this is an empty house. Absolutely no furniture in here. This was literally got deleted off of Airbnb The second that I found it. I had to screenshot on my laptop. Small, girly room 155 wait. What kind of fucking currency is that? What? Hold on. I Looked it up. It's Japanese yen and it's a thousand 222 dollars private room in home in Thurman, California, United States small girly This is literally a child's room. This person just took pictures of their child's That's crazy. This is literally someone's child's bedroom It's gonna run you $1,200 USD She didn't even bother cleaning it for the Airbnb photos like take the toys off at least So must have you never know when is Coachella is until it's happening? Lockheed though, that would probably me if I had children and I wanted to make a quick 1,200 dollars for two days for My children I sleep are still gonna be sleeping in my bed. We're gonna be sleeping like a sardine for two nights That's over $500 it y'all gonna be fucked. I don't believe I do not blame those parents Well, there were people that were car camping. I actually saw some people moving in like they brought every single Thing possible from their house to their actual camp come to our camping set up And the front we have these LED solar lights that we know which cars are We have our shower tent first In our shower tent we have these little blocks that way your feet don't get wet toilet squatty party This is where the water comes out with from the shower head. This attaches here So be up. We have a light here just in case we're taking showers in the dark This is our water heater just in case it is cold. We want a hot shower. These are towels our Shower stuff and of course in a privacy tent. This is gonna be the main entrance to our set up And then this is like all of our essentials for the day the weekend We have ibuprofen blisters some little Pain medication little hot patches nasal rinse is mask. I mean you might as well say you own a CVS at Coachella because Did you see the whole rack the chill for a head full of medicine? Are you preparing for a concentration camp or are you preparing to see Justin Bieber? This is like all survival chef. So we've seen the regular Coachella aka the broken so we want to fit in with the celebrities We've seen the VIPs. We've seen the influencers now What about the celebrity Coachella? And this is actually very rare We don't get to see a lot of these because a lot of celebrities don't post the place where they stay for Coachella But Kylie Jenner, I believe for the first time ever posted her place where she was staying at Coachella And I think she just called everyone poor because this place literally looks like she's
in a whole different country. Oh, and she's also singing Sabrina Carmeta's new song "Hastour". That's why she's showing us the "Hastour". Oh my god! This is Echo Chela! She has her whole movie theater. Now imagine people like Coachella being down there and you see you see Kylie Jenner in her mansion like drinking something you know having fun chilling with an AC in there and she looks down and she sees the regulars struggling car camping at 109 Fahrenheit degrees. They're like looking at Kylie. Like Kylie throw us like an ice cube or something like how fucking dystopian is oh my god. I just realized when I was doing that like how crazy this shit just hit me. Watching this from district 12. I never want to hear that money money doesn't buy happiness. Oh my god. When people say that shit it triggers me. What do you mean money doesn't buy happy? Money would fix 99.9% of all by problems. What exactly do you mean that money doesn't buy happy? Stop yelling at me. Whoever said that, stop. You're pissing me off. And only fans of most popular creator, Sophie Rainn, who made 24 million dollars I believe last year showed that she paid about 200k for her trip to Coachella. How much does it cost to go to Coachella with receipts? So obviously I am not a brand friendly influencer so I had to pay for Coachella all on my own. You do not need to be a brand friendly. You make a 24 million dollars a year. The entire boss house, the assistants and stylists so I had to get 12 tickets. We got 12 artist passes and a table at the main stage and it ended up being $67,980. You guys know me so obviously I booked a private jet and around trip to Coachella Valley cost me $37,498. We originally had an Airbnb booked way in advance for $29,000 but they canceled on us three days before the event. As I mentioned they were canceling a lot of people because they wanted to up the price knowing that people were coming to Coachella which I think is illegal by the way allegedly. We had to book another Airbnb and that total was $83,000. So it was more. And as I said prior I got a stylist and all of the clothes that she got me ended up totaling to be $5,000. So the total cost for three days at Coachella is $109,845 and $86,000. Basically $200,000. My ex paid for you to go to Coachella hell yeah. Oh I don't people get what she meant there oh my god. Technically all the horny dudes paid for for her trip so you know what shout out to horny dudes out there. And I looked it up by the way a single day suit for Saturday April 18th artist guest passes paired with a veranda suit at either Coachella stage or Quasar whatever that is $50,000. One day how is this is truly the most expensive music event in the world. I don't think there's another event that comes close to these prices because what do you mean a suit is going to cost you I mean I know that suits are expensive but $50,000 for one day for $50,000 I would have ended world hunger and I would still have probably like $40,000 in my pocket. Okay that was a joke I'm sorry. Remember how that girl who went to the VIP toilet said it smelled terrible. Well I believe Coachella's biggest problem is truly the hygiene because now we're gonna talk about the toilets and if you think the showers were bad the toilets are nasty. Nature was calling and it was time to check out the worst part of camping the port of the party. Immediately no. I'm sucking my shit back up and then we're going home. I do not even poop at clean restaurants because I don't like pooping at public toilets or whatever you want to call them. But this knew the toilets were gonna be bad. What'd you do? This setup was so nice. It felt like I was- Sir what happened to you? I thought he was gonna go shit. He literally saw that. He's like so then what did you do? So unlike the shower situation where you look at the showers and there's like a huge line and you're like you know what I'm just gonna stink and I'm not gonna shower. What would you do if you had to go to the bathroom so badly but um you can't go because there's a massive line. The diaper use- I don't care use use the diaper but if it's not the line that's gonna kill you it's like imagine being the last person in line or like middle whatever you're gonna go in there and that that port of party is gonna be destroyed. The amount of people that are using a port of party that they are not gonna clean until later that night those toilets are gonna be brutal. I will rather poop on my hand and eat that shit up then go to a port of party. I'm sorry if I've ever done it. And look at a port of party that's been destroyed by someone else. Someone said I take eight shit per day. I will never be- oh hey shit per day. The fuck are you eating? Let's dump the regulars real quick and uh let's uh I feel like it's got a little too nasty and let's go to the rich side. I want to see what this safari toilets look like. It's safari restrooms okay. Oh okay. Hey. Hey. Mirror. I'm gonna take some of those. I see. Awesome. That is big though. I mean she still paid 10,000 dollars. That looks like an average McDonald's restroom right? Like it's at least way better than the regulars who had to wait through the lines. If you can skip the lines the 10k is worth it. You know what? Spend that 10k for me real quick. They're clean and there's no line. What are we complaining about uh Jess sweetie? I don't know how to break it to you but this is a safari the the rich side of ketchup. I think they drop you out from the poor side. So these are actually not the regular restrooms. These are like the 10k minimum restroom. Yeah Jess I'm sorry about that. So you've made up your mind. You're like lazy. I'm not spending a thousand two thousand dollars and suffer waiting line just to take a shit. I'm gonna go bulge deep in this bitch and I'm gonna spend 10k let me show you what you get for 10k dollars. I just got back from safari campaign at Coachella so here's everything that's actually included. This is my second time doing it and yes once you do it once you can never go back. I mean because 10k dollars so if you have I mean if you have another one sure fuck it. Probably the biggest selling point of the package is the safari guess wristbands that it comes with. It includes two wristbands per package. Your guest pass grants access to all VIP areas and shared guest views. Oh okay. It's a festival. Overall this just really makes the experience really fun in my opinion. Another huge one is the golf cart so with safari you can enjoy exclusive golf cart services between the safari camera and the stage stops. If you've been to Coachella before you know how much walking there is so this is just a really really great part that it comes with. I mean at this point Coachella is anything but a music festival. I don't think we've seen a single part about the music festival. It's literally just people complaining about the conditions and like do we really need a wellness salon and spa at Coachella. Why don't people just go there when the festival happens but we have to camp there for two days two to three days. This is for free you just have to book a window unfortunately. Bitch how's you pay $10,000 what do you mean this is for free. You pay two million dollars and you're like oh they actually give you a massage for two million dollars. Come on. They were all taken so we didn't get to use it. So you lost on that. But pretty cool. They do your makeup there. They have just like sunscreen like little things like that around. You get free sodas. They had gatorade waters all that for you to grab at the end of the day. Sure. I'll take it. That was really nice. So we saved just a lot of money this weekend on just drinks in general. I mean it's like water Pepsi Cola and gold fish. I mean oh yeah you probably do save money because at the festival they're very expensive. They also had snacks all day and then it came with breakfast every single day and breakfast included that night after the festival. Okay. It saved some money on food that way. What's happening here? You also get access to the safari lounge and it has AC in there. What what happens at safari lounge that we just saw? Do they give you a flu shot there? Do they do blood tests there? What the fuck? Did anyone see that? She shows this part. Money on food that way. You also get access to the safari lounge. At the lounge? They they dry your blood? It has AC in there. That's where they would serve the food. I sure hope it does. Does anyone know what I mean? Yeah. I sure hope it does. And you could show them they're all day long. What is this?
until one signature hydration. I'm wondering, what the fuck are these? Oh my god. - One or two is really nice in there. Another perk was just the flushable bathrooms. And then they had the showers. Both of them were shared. So you did have to share it with everybody else. You don't get your own. - But I paid 10K. - They also had 30 minute massages. It was completely complimentary. You just also had to book a window. And it also got full by the time we tried. So we also didn't get to do that. But they did offer that. They also had the grocery pickups. - So she said she wanted to do the first one. And she got to do it because they were all booked. Then she wanted to do this one and they're all booked. If I paid 10K, I wanted to do something but they're all booked. So you got to wake up early as hell just to book one of these. So this entire time you're living your life there into like this panic mode on what to do first. And here is your room. Looks nice though. - All right guys, so we're back at Safari Camping. This is my second time doing it. - Second time? - I'm not a cabana. So I'm going to show you guys what the cabana looks like. Last year, I showed you guys what the camps look like. So it's very similar, all the same stuff. - Wait, why does this look like there's gaps in the wall? - Inside. So it comes with a mirror, a clothes rack. Same one as last year. I think it's all the same stuff. So this is what it looks like on the inside. - Dude, there's a hole. I mean there's gaps. So same stuff as last year, it comes with a fridge. The night stands. The night stands are a little bit different. And the little AC unit, it doesn't really do much. By the way, I remember getting a lot of questions about that last year. I was going to see the difference. And because there's gaps in the wall, it's not that the AC is not working. It's because there's gaps everywhere. Which is like, I don't know why, but it's not staying cool in here. Like we have the AC on 24/7. And we keep the doors closed. But for some reason, it's just not staying cool in here. Am I blind or there's these huge gaps here? Like the whole place had gaps. I'm being tanky and the isolation sucks. - Fuck this was a long one. It's 11/30. I should be sleeping right now, Jonas. I should be sleeping. - Jonas, I should be sleeping right now. - Okay, that was the end. I fucking hate Coach L. I really do. I'm sorry, it's so overwhelming. There's so much happening. You would never see me there. And last year, I said if we had 200 K likes, I would go to Coachella and we didn't hit 200 K likes. That's why I didn't go to Coachella this year. So for next year, if this video hits 200 K likes, I will actually go to Coachella. But if you didn't enjoy this video, please consider becoming a member to watch my videos a day early, at free sponsor, free line free toilet included, shower included, every single thing is included. Please become a member. - Members, thank you, VIX. Moran, Katelyn, Chema, Bloody, Rachel, Ari. I want to kidnap Stormi, Kiarra, Lazy, Socute, Yum Yum, Tati, Tati. And you did it again at my birthday dinner, suck dick and cock. No one's gonna know that reference. - And you did it at my birthday dinner. Like suck him dick and cock. - River bagels, colon, mystic, Choco, Daniel, Ashley, Nat, and Winyan. - Loki, though, guys, please let's hit to under K likes. I'm gonna go to Coachella and I want to see what it's like to poop in the porta-party. Like I want to be in a panic mode standing in line just to poop. (upbeat music)
Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Coachella 2026 saw record revenue of $200 million due to major acts like Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter, but regular attendees faced extreme hardship, including brutal lines and extreme heat.
Preferred parking spots cost $1,000–$1,500, often bought via scalpers, with many attendees spending thousands for access to non-existent or temporary spaces.
Shower access is severely limited and poorly managed
Porta-potty showers are available but widely seen as gross and unsanitary, with no real privacy, while VIP and Safari camping packages offer luxury amenities at steep prices—up to $10,000.
Attendees face extreme physical conditions, including temperatures over 109°F, lack of hygiene facilities, and food prices that far exceed normal market rates.
The festival environment is marked by extreme inequality
A major criticism is that money does not guarantee a good experience—many attendees are forced to use diapers or endure unsanitary conditions due to poor infrastructure.
The event has become more of a luxury spectacle than a music festival, with high costs, excessive spending, and a stark contrast between elite and general admission experiences.
Summary:
Coachella 2026 reached a record financial peak of $200 million, driven by major acts like Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter, yet the experience for most attendees was deeply negative. The festival’s infrastructure collapsed under demand, with lines stretching hours before gates open, temperatures soaring past 109°F, and inadequate access to showers and toilets. Regular attendees faced extreme hardships, including spending thousands on preferred parking, using porta-potties deemed gross and unhygienic, or enduring long waits for basic sanitation.
In contrast, VIP and Safari camping packages offered luxury amenities—like private showers, AC, and 30-minute massages—at prices up to $10,000, highlighting a vast inequality in access. Food prices were exorbitant, with meals costing hundreds of dollars, and some items like a strawberry sandwich were priced at $22 despite being simple. The festival’s core appeal—music and community—was overshadowed by logistical failures, environmental neglect, and a culture where wealth determines comfort.
Critics argue that money does not buy happiness at Coachella, as the event has become a symbol of extravagance and class division, where the majority of attendees are left struggling in harsh conditions while elites enjoy curated, sanitized experiences. The video concludes with a satirical call to action for viewers to become members for “free line, free toilet, free shower,” underscoring the festival’s inherent contradictions and failures in accessibility and equity.
