Jenni’s Coachella Connection
Jenni, a longtime Coachella insider and Burning Man artist, helped curate this year’s hidden gems. “The best moments aren’t on the main stages,” she says. “They’re in the secret sets, the pop-up art raves, and the desert sunrises with DJs you’ve never heard of—yet.”
Event Code & Theme: “Neon Mirage”
The theme this year, “Neon Mirage,” is honoring the mirages and epiphanies of the desert. Imagine neon art installations, holographic stage sets, and music that distorts reality. Organizers call it “a dream you don’t wake up from.”

How It Started: The Coming Together of Two Icons
- Coachella (founded 1999) brought global music to the California desert.
- Burning Man (est. 1986) turned Nevada’s playa into a surreal art and community experiment.
- Coachella Burning Man began as an underground concept in 2023, merging Coachella’s lineup with Burning Man’s interactive art and free-spirited vibes. Now, in 2025, it’s a full-blown phenomenon.
