The Coachella maps and set lists are out and everything seems to be the same as other years with the Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theater Gobi, Mojave, Sahara and Yuma Tents all in their respective places.

Is the Coachella Music Festival going to up their VIP experience with helicopter rides (the Coachellacopter?) directly into the center of the festival?

Fly into the Middle of Coachella on a Helicopter?

There doesn’t seem to be any information online, except for the UberCopter that was apparently offered in 2014 (how did we not hear about that?

The organizers of The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival have always been on point with their surprises and with almost $80 Million in revenue last year, we can definitely expect some crazy stunts. The helipad looks like something Red Bull would be involved in, so maybe they have their hands in it as well. What are your thoughts?
