Coachella Owner Donates to LGBT Hate Groups, Denies Climate Change, Has Koch Connections

This week, the 2017 Coachella line-up was released to a typical flurry of excitement. Along with headliners Kendrick Lamar and Radiohead, the big news was that the popular Indio, California festival was finally able to nab Beyoncé for an official spot—as the first woman headliner in ten years.

Coachella is at this point a cultural force, shaping the summer festival season as well as, for better or worse, influencing an entire subset of festie fashion. And yet with recent revelations about the far-right political leanings of Coachella’s overseeing ownership, attendees may want to think twice before nabbing up their tickets—and musicians might want to divest from the event in the future.
