OPINION
Coachella brings nostalgia back
<https://cardinalpointsonline.com/coachella-brings-nostalgia-back/>

The 2026 Coachella Music and Arts Festival succeeded my expectations.
Normally I forget that it is coming around until I see posts online, but
this year stood out to me. The look of Coachella was beautiful with its
cylinder building with rainbow colored glass featured every year along with
other colorful landscape art that brought life into California’s Empire
Polo Club located in the Colorado desert.
