Coachella 2018: Guide to all of the hottest after parties, events and more

Updated

Coachella 2018 is almost here!

Buzz around this year's music and arts festival has been building for over a year ever since Beyoncé cancelled her scheduled headlining appearance last year after learning she was pregnant with twins, so it's safe to say that this year's Coachella will be the biggest one yet.

In addition to performances by Beyoncé, a pregnant Cardi B, The Weeknd, Eminem, Kyo and SZA, the festival will also feature incredible art installations, trendy food options and more.

The desert fun doesn't stop there, though, as tons of brands set up shop both on-site and in the surrounding areas for a variety of exclusive parties and events, and we have a guide to all of them below.
