Coachella will extend its 2024 set by a few hours after the inclusion of another stage, that will supposedly be set up in the desert. The music festival made this announcement through a series of Instagram posts on March 19, which confirmed that the new stage will be called 'Quasar.'
According to the team behind the event, the new stage will help them "book talent" and put on shows they've never done before. The artists taking the stage will allow attendees to experience a longer format DJ set and Jenn Yacoubian from the festival's parent company, Goldenvoice, went on to state:
"We're looking at it as a traditional DJ stage."
Everything to know about Coachella's new stage Quasar
Coachella uploaded a two-slide post to its official Instagram account and confirmed that it will be extending its set by three hours with the inclusion of Quasar, a new EDM/Dance music stage, which is set to provide a unique experience for festival goers.
The stage has been designed and sponsored by Goldenvoice, a festival promoter who has been working with Coachella for many years. Jenn Yacoubian from Goldenvoice stated their intention to bring back some of the biggest talents for this event and said:
"We're excited to have certain artists that have played the festival before like Jamie XX who would play for 3-4 hours, with Daphni and Floating Points."
Heather Shaw, who is responsible for designing and building the Quasar Stage highlighted the importance of using real-time playback on LED installations to create an immersive experience. Regarding the set creation, the designer stated:
"We have two monolithic LED Walls. They have dimension to it that will be scenic in mirrors so it feels like it's also part of the environment. So we'll be looking to create innovative 3D worlds."
The line-up and dates for the acts set to headline Quasar have been listed below:
Friday - April 12
