Comment la tente Do LaB de Coachella, avec ses programmations non publiées, est devenue le secret le plus cool et le plus important du festival.

Do LaB, the electronic music-focused tent at Coachella, offers a non-mainstream experience for festival-goers looking for something different. The tent, created by the Flemming brothers in 2004, has quadrupled in size and is rivaling Cirque du Soleil in its colorful design, with water as its central theme. The music at the Do LaB tent doesn’t stop, and its lineups are announced toward the end of March, less than a month before the festival’s first weekend. This year, on Coachella’s first weekend, Do LaB will be hosting Whipped Cream, the Glitch Mob, Aluna, and DJ Tennis, among others. On the second weekend, the Brothers Macklovitch (A-Trak and Chromeo’s Dave1), Mikey Lion, and Elephant Heart will be among those making an appearance at the Do LaB tent.

Do LaB’s roots can be traced to Jesse dropping an ecstasy tablet upon moving to Los Angeles, attending a rave, and convincing his brothers to join him on the west coast. They worked in television production during the day and threw aesthetically detailed parties for their friends in the evenings. Starting from warehouse parties in DTLA, the brothers focused their attention on underground events they called Lightning in a Bottle. The event has evolved into a full-fledged five-day festival that takes place Memorial Day weekend in California. It celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Do LaB’s association with Coachella gives the festival a touch of cool cred. This is amped up by Coachella playing into Do LaB’s spirit and not lumping it with the festival’s “official” lineup. As far as who Do Lab will have as its surprise guests this year, all they reveal is: “We have a couple of Grammy nominees.” The Do LaB tent is a sought-after experience for artists because they get to be experimental and maybe play what they are messing around with in their studio.
