LET UNC FEST 2026 BEGIN

I don't even "like" Calvin Harris but an entire crowd singing the middle school-college bangers from the 2010s is about to be electric.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

PSA regarding camping and lightning

The National Weather Service is now projecting the possibility of lightning as the storm passes over the Coachella valley. I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that most of the people camping at the festival have never camped in lightning before, so here are some thoughts :)

Being outdoors during a lightning storm is inherently risky. Festivals and outdoor music events regularly shut down during lightning. While everyone's vision of lightning strikes is that they hit the tallest electrically charged attractor, it is also true that lightning can fork out again once it's hit the initial point, and it can fork horizontally, meaning that even if you aren't standing under a palm tree when it's hit, the forking can hit you if you're outdoors anywhere nearby.

Tents and canopies provide no protection whatsoever. The only protection comes from being indoors or, when car camping, inside your car. The car acts as a faraday cage, routing electricity around the passenger cabin.

So if lightning actually starts striking the valley, and you're in the campgrounds, bail into your cars for the duration of the lightning strikes.

Ubering from HeadTrip > Zenyara > Airbnb on Saturday?

Our group of 4 has shuttle passes so we have no concern getting to the festival, but we bought AP tix for Saturday and we’re unsure if we can just Uber to Zenyara or if we need to get a driver.

The ride is only 10 mins from the festival… do we think it’s going to be madness? One driver is quoting 25 pp which seems crazy for a 10 min drive.

Will there be Ubers available after Zenyara to take us back to our Airbnb in La Quinta area?

Where are you staying?

So hype for next week yall. Wondering where everyone’s staying as I’ve never been to a festival in Coachella valley and I am a little nervous about logistics I won’t lie lol. I’m staying in downtown PSP, got the bus pass, and spent so much on my flight home lmao. I’m just curious where most people are staying and if you have any experiences or tips for the festival 🤩

Driving there and back from Riverside?

Wanted to know if driving there and back from Riverside both nights was an option? Has anyone done it for a similar festival? I hear the traffic isn’t as bad as Coachella for these trip festivals.

Looking to save money and park in a residential neighborhood Friday-Monday. Would it be a good idea?

Im going to camp with my friends but wont be able to ride in the same car and want to avoid paying the 150 for the companion parking. Would it be a good idea to park in a residential and simply uber to the venue?
