And the rare snowcaps on the San Jacinto Mountains that tower over the festival are an eerie reminder of California’s abnormal winter, which in the past months saw atmospheric rivers, near-record snow, flooding and fatalities. Some acts have made moves: Coldplay at one point halted touring for environmental reasons—though they picked back up recently—and Massive Attack called for “an urgent and significant reassembly” of the industry after commissioning a study into live music’s climate impact.A recent report from the town of Indio, where the festival is held, said just 20 percent of total waste is recycled at Coachella as well as organizer Goldenvoice’s other festivals including Stagecoach.
Organizers also say they require vendors to use compostable plates and utensils, and created an initiative in 2018 they say resulted in diverting 141 tons of mixed recycling and 86 tons of compost during 2022’s Coachella and Stagecoach festivals combined.
