Vibes Life Essential Guide to Coachella – Part 2 A Vibes Life Mans “Crazy Ramblings” Guide to Online ticket Purchasing

Welcome to Part 2 of this Vibes Life Essential Guide to Coachella, the line up got announced this week, and the final release of General tickets go on sale this Friday, the 5th January 2018.  Securing tickets online for any festival is stressful at best, and there is no real “tutorial” that can be given for this essential part of the process. We know people who really struggle to get tickets when it comes to this method, and for whatever reason they miss out year after year.  All we can do is pass on our own little nuggets of advice in the hope that you to will be successful. Be prepared, trying to explain this in person and trying to write about it here are two completely different entities so at times you will find me ranting on like a deranged psychopath using words like “Data” and “Traffic”.  Stay with me, read through it a couple of times, make notes if you want and come Friday 19.00 GMT  (thats 11.00 PDT) it will all fall into place. My ramblings will turn into fact and you will keep your Kool in an international wide state of ticket buying panic.  Lets do this. read more

Vibes Life Essential Guide to Coachella – Introduction

Every year, over 100,000 revellers descend on the grassy green fields of the Empire polo club, nestled in the Californian desert town of Indio, this location’s surrounding mountain ranges create arguably one of the most breathtaking festival backdrops in history.   Although best known for its chart topping A-list headliners (and surprise guest appearances), the Coachella Valley Arts and Music festival is something of a pilgrimage for the many people who journey there, ourselves included.  Just like Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Burning man, or any of the worlds biggest and most famous festivals, Coachella has certain sights and experiences that keep people returning, almost religiously, year after year. read more

Liebster Award Vibes

Feeling a little jaded on Sunday after getting into the Christmas “spirit” (that goes by the name of Gin), I opened up my phone to a message from a fellow blogger. The Girl Who Went Everywhere, Jinpa Smith has nominated us for a Liebster Award. This news blew away the cobwebs, our blog is only a few months old, so this was something that we really weren’t expecting. read more

The Glory Days

It wasn’t too long ago that our Sundays were spent lounging on the sofa, binge watching Netflix under a duvet, surrounded by empty crisp packets, and coke bottles; counting down the hours to when it’s deemed reasonably acceptable to dial in a Pizza, or Indian, or Thai, or……. you get the drift. This is what a hangover looked like in the Cox household, and it was a regular not so pretty sight. When we found out that we were expecting our first baby, we were in our 30’s and living the students dream/ nightmare spending equal time partying followed by suffering most weekends. From the moment we met back in ’02 at a drum and bass rave in Fabric, we never really stopped. Our love of music, dancing and going a bit wild was the foundation of our relationship, whether it was partying at a rave or a festival we were on it.
