Coachella 2024 kicked off this past weekend (April 12). The annual festival extravaganza came with cutting-edge music and jaw-dropping art installations. This year’s headliners are Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, Doja Cat, and a slew of other performers. Lana kicked off the first night with a “Great Gatsby” themed performance that has received rave reviews. The singer’s special guests, Jon Batiste and Billie Eilish, joined her for duets. However, her dirt buggy motorcade entrance isn’t the only moment that stole the show. Lana Del Rey debuts special edition vinyl at Coachella!

“Coachella” edition of “Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”.

Record Safari’s tent on the festival grounds has exclusive “Coachella” edition copies of Lana’s “Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”. The vinyl comes with new artwork; only 100 copies are sold per weekend. Lana’s latest LP (whose title is too long to retype) was the second best-selling vinyl record of 2023. It sold an estimated 132,000 vinyl units and received rave reviews from fans and critics.

“Coachella” edition of No Doubt’s Greatist Hit’s vinyl

Ska group No Doubt also reunited at the music festival this year. Their performance was one of the most anticipated performances from the fest. No Doubt also had a special edition vinyl sold at the fest as well. The group’s “Orange County” greatest hits compilation was also sold at the Record Safari’s tent.

There is no word on whether these special edition vinyls will be available outside the fest. However, you can get both standard edition vinyls here and celebrate these performers in the comforts of your home. Summertime won’t have sadness this year!

Lana Del Rey and Tyler the Creator to headline Coachella

2024 Is Off To A Good Start

Major events in the music industry are due to take place this year. While the highly anticipated Superbowl halftime show awaits, the roster of music festivals is starting to emerge with rumored acts. Gossip includes Lana Del Rey and Tyler the Creator are to headline Coachella.

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, commonly known as Coachella, stands as a pillar in the world of music festivals. Founded in 1999 by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen, this annual event takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Over the years, Coachella has evolved beyond a mere music festival; it has become a cultural phenomenon.

One of the defining features of Coachella is its diverse lineup. Spanning multiple genres, the festival caters to a wide range of musical tastes. Headliners often include iconic and contemporary artists, creating a melting pot of sounds that appeal to a varied audience. This eclectic mix fosters an environment where attendees can explore new music while enjoying performances from their favorite artists.

According to the music blog “Stereogum”:

“In any case, both Lana Del Rey and Tyler The Creator make perfect sense as Coachella headliners. In recent years, the festival has drawn criticism for booking dominant pop stars as its headliners. Lana and Tyler, while hugely popular, don’t qualify. Both are critically beloved cult artists with alt-culture cachet and festival-headliner bona fides. Both are based in California, and both have played past Coachellas. Lana Del Rey played in 2014 and was slated for the top slot in 2020. Tyler, meanwhile, played Coachella in both 2015 and 2018.”

Not only are Lana and Tyler rumored to perform at the legendary music fest, but their alleged sets follow a successful vinyl sales year. Both artists had some of the top ten vinyl albums of 2023. Lana had two albums from her discography including her latest effort “Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd” which sold over 100k copies and ranked number 2, while Tyler’s 2019 critically acclaimed album “IGOR” ranked number 4 on the list.
