This past weekends Coachella Music Festival looks to be a huge hit for Goldenvoice (a division of AEG Live), the organizers behind the annual festival.
The three-day bash, which took place April 16-18, saw a record attendance of over 225,000 people for all three days.
The attendance record is a relief to organizers who despite the economic downturn still managed to sell out tickets for the event, which went for over $269.00 for a 3-day pass.
Although some attribute the record attendance to headliners Jay-Z, Muse, Thom Yorke, and the Gorillaz, CEO of AEG Live, Randy Phillips, attributes the success to newer, “younger bands” which he says the festival had more of than prior years.
