Even though Coachella sold out early this year, there’s still good reason to head out to the desert. The parties, once a supplement to the Coachella experience, have now become a comparable (if not better) alternative to the festival. This year over a dozen parties have been announced in the desert, many of which are free and have special performances from artists with time slots at the festival. As we’ve been doing for the last few years, here’s a list we’ve compiled of Coachella 2013 parties. Here we go:
