Coachella Weekend Parties
**You are viewing 2013 parties, visit this link for -> 2024 Coachella Parties**
Coachella pool parties and after-parties are just another reason to make it out to Indio every April. Even if you couldn’t get a wristband for the Coachella music festival, there is still plenty of fun to be had at out in the desert.
In fact, many Los Angelenos vacation in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and La Quinta during the week of the music festival just to attend the parties. And most of the after-parties and pool parties present live music and hand out free goodies, making it feel somewhat like the music festival (well, not really).
Here is a list of Coachella parties for 2013:

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. A MESSAGE FROM ROLLINGTUFF.COM:
**For reasons beyond our control, our Party at the Legacy Villa Pools will be canceled.**
The real reason is because the Legacy Villas Freaked out after they saw how many people were attending and made the event no longer open to the public. Renters, homeowners and guests of homeowners only. We would apologize to all of our fans for trying to make it out but it’s not our fault and you should all get an apology from the Legacy Villas.
We could have still thrown the party but we don’t like people telling us how to throw our own parties, we throw our parties the way we want to. So we unfortunately would rather pull out than throw a half ass party where its not open to the public. Sorry to all of the guest who we were excited to party along with us but ROLLINGTUFF doesn’t throw half ass parties.
yours truly,
the crew from ROLLINGTUFF

If you have a wristband, the best place to be all weekend is at the festival and at the campgrounds by night. But if for some reason you couldn’t get a wristband, then consider heading out to the desert cities to party at one of the pool parties.
If I missed a party, feel free to contact me and I’ll add it to the list.

What about weekend 2 ?? 🙂 thanks xx
Some of the parties listed above are for both weekends, but unfortunately, most are all during the 1st weekend.
Wow super lame for Legacy Villas Pool Party by RollingTuff.com! So there are no other pool parties scheduled for La Quinta at all?
As of now, nothing else in La Quinta. You can check the map above to find the ones closest to where you’re staying.
I stayed at La Quinta resort a few years ago and the pool was raging, but it was all hotel guests (some of the Coachella artists stay there too).
Some of the DJs that were at the RollingTuff party will now be playing the Godzilla after party, which just looks nuts. Check above ^ for info.
Were the last on the list guess they saved the best for last 😉
Def go check out the LEGACY VILLAS PARTY BONES AND TROY KURTS!!
I’m going to Coachella this year and had no idea about the after parties!! How much do they cost?
They vary by hotel, but in most instances, if you stay at a hotel, then you get free entrance to the pool party. Some of these parties are invite-only.
But be prepared to spend some money on drinks, they’re not cheap!
