I am headed to my second Coachella in as many years. My first year was one of the most overwhelming, enjoyable, and surreal experiences I've encountered. It felt like inhabiting another planet, one in the middle of a desert surrounded by palms trees surrounded by mountain ranges encapsulated in music in a sea of one hundred thousand people. It's an event all music lovers should experience at least once.

Last year, the highlight was the band pictured above, Arcade Fire, who put on what I think was the best show I've ever seen. There were so many other memories: Pharrell bringing out Snoop, Tyler the Creator, Diplo, Nelly, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, and Gwen Stefani - each performing one of their hits Pharrell's genius helped create. There was the crowd for Kid Cudi, which was so staggering in numbers that I could only shake my head and laugh. Nas bringing out Jay-Z, Outkast beginning their set with the most insane start: B.O.B., Gasoline Dreams, ATLiens, Skew it on the Bar-B, Rosa Parks, and Da Art of Storytellin', Part 1. Are you kidding me??? Coachella is packed with so many memorable moments, I really look forward to what this year has in store.

As for this year, I'm stoked to see a ton of different acts spanning so many different genres. Coachella finally released the daily schedule, so I wanted to share my schedule of whom I hope to see (in order from earliest in the day to headliners) and the ONE track I pray to hear from each of them!

DISCLAIMER: Time constraints! It's so tough to choose with so many bands. I won't be able to see the whole sets of all of these bands and I'm sure I'll miss some too - but those in BOLD are must-sees for me.

I think Friday might be the day I'm most excited for, but each day is seriously an embarrassment of riches.

I plan to give a recap each day with the amazing moments and acts, post some photos, and generally have a kick ass time with friends.

Stay tuned!
