Now in its sixth year, the Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival is one of the most stunningly located festivals in the world, with rows of palm trees and refreshing sprinklers to protect visitors from the desert sun.

Approximately the same size as Reading Festival, two main stages dominate the site with three extra tents alongside. Everything is meticulously planned and put together and it can feel like dinner at the White House compared to some of its British equivalents.

It also has a tradition of booking some of the world's biggest bands, with Pixies, Radiohead, The White Stripes and Blur all playing in recent years. Don't forget your camera or your sunscreen, but remember, it gets damn cold at night!less
