Been 3 years. Loved every year. Fair warning: there are thieves all over the festival grounds and they are not going away because they LIVE in the city that they host this festival in. They are not smiling they don't not look like they belong there, it is fairly obvious. LIB security and lost and found is a joke. It sucks because I loved this festival but the environment at Coachella is way more inviting and bottom line, a lot safer. Got my phone jacked and so did my friend.
