WHILE the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival has a lot to offer each year, regular guests know there is a whole other level to desert season; the VIP parties.

A host of invite-only events are taking place in and around Palm Springs, California, and those lucky enough to secure wristbands are in for a treat.

Here are some of The U.S. Sun’s top picks for weekend one that thousands of partygoers are desperate to get access to.

True Religion’s Buddhafest

The jeans brand will present a stunning desert oasis gifting suite at a private venue in Bermuda Dunes to kick off the weekend on Friday.

Guests will enjoy live DJ sets, cocktails, sweet treats, and surprises with plenty of influencers and reality stars expected to attend.

NYLON House

The magazine often hosts some of the best parties in LA and their Coachella experience is set to be just as good.

Previous years have seen the likes of Bella Thorne and Jaden Smith in attendance, while DJs such as Diplo have performed.

Revolve Festival

Revolve will be held on Saturday afternoon and is known to draw an A-list crowd and be a big hit for Gen Z partygoers.

The U.S. Sun understands The Kardashians are set to attend again.

This year, sponsors for the event include Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, her sister Kylie’s Sprinter Vodka, along with Hailey Bieber’s Rhode beauty brand.

Post Malone, Cardi B, Ice Spice, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, Snoop Dogg, and Saweetie have previously played at the party.

This year’s lineup will be announced soon and is expected to include huge names once again.

Camp Poosh

Kourtney Kardashian’s Poosh lifestyle brand will be throwing its camp-style experience on Saturday afternoon.

Last year’s inaugural event included bonfire bonding and bracelet-making, a spa, and an archery area.

Guests were given free Samsung Galaxy phones with personalized charm chains and the event was a big hit with influencers.

Neon Carnival

Neon will be held on Saturday night and is the biggest of the VIP events that continues until the early hours.

It is a mini festival not too dissimilar to Coachella featuring games, rides, brand activations, and, most importantly, a fully stocked open bar.

This year the event is presented by Liquid I.V. in association with Patrón El Alto and The Levi’s® Brand.

It is the top party for celeb spotting with everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Jared Leto having attended the carnival in the past.

2024 will see DJ Pee. Wee, Anderson Paak will headline with Vanderpump Rules’ James Kennedy playing his most important gig to date along with DJ Hunny Bee.

The U.S. Sun caught up with James’s girlfriend Ally Lewber at the SECONDLEFT fashion launch at Delilah in West Hollywood earlier this month as she gushed about the gig.

She said, “He’s been working on his setlist. This is the most bucket-list thing he’s played. We’re always manifesting, and talking about dreams, he’s such a dreamer.”

Framework in the Desert

Revelers will head to the Atlantic Aviation airport hangar in Thermal, for a three-night house and techno afterparty series.

It will feature sets from Charlotte de Witte [Friday], Dom Dolla [Saturday], and John Summit [Sunday], as well as performances by Reinier Zonneveld, Gorgon City, and more.

As a partner of Framework, Wynn Nightlife, Wynn Las Vegas’ premier nightlife division, will bring its own VIP experience to the event.

Partygoers will be offered exclusive seating, bottle service, a dedicated waitress, and prime views of the sets.

Sonic Desert

Coca-Cola Spiced & Topo Chico will present the bash in partnership with BPM Music this year.

The event includes an exclusive daytime party at a private ranch in Thermal on Saturday.

Dance and electronic artist Austin Millz will appear, plus special guests, and other festive activations.

TAO Desert Nights

The TAO Group will host its iconic parties over two weekends at the breathtaking Zenyara estate for six days – making this their largest-ever series of events.

The lineup includes world-class DJ sets from Kaskade, Dom Dolla, John Summit, Adriatique, Carlita, Skepta, and more.
