It's about that time of year when thousands gather in Indio, California for the Coachella and Stagecoach music and arts festivals. And if you're an American Express card member planning a trip to the desert, plenty of exclusive perks and benefits are in store. Here's what festivalgoers need to know.
Amex Perks and Benefits at Coachella and Stagecoach
American Express is sponsoring exclusive events and benefits at Coachella and Stagecoach for its consumer and small-business cardholders. Let's take a look at what you'll find at each festival.
Coachella
Amex is making a splash at both weekends of Coachella: April 12–14 and April 19–21, 2024. However, the benefits are richer at this festival than at Stagecoach.
- Invite-only experiences: If you have The Platinum Card® from American Express, The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, or the Centurion® Card from American Express, you can purchase a VIP pass to the festival. Perks include food and beverage vouchers, dinner in the Rose Garden, and more. Card members are limited to eight tickets.
- Statement credits: Get a one-time $10 credit when you spend $100 with on-site merchants like Kazunori Sushi, Carrera Eyewear, Nike, and more. Enrollment is required for select Amex benefits, which you can complete here.
- Exclusive merchandise: Visit the Amex Experience for mystery bags, festival merchandise, and more. Card members can bring one enrolled guest.
- Merch lane: Use a dedicated fast-track lane to purchase merchandise faster. The line is open from 1 to 8 p.m. daily.
- Complimentary beauty services: Get ready for the festival with Amex in the Campgrounds pop-up area with an enrolled guest. Services are available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. before each festival weekend.
Downloading the Coachella app is necessary to take advantage of these experiences. Plus, after you open the app and tap the Amex icon, you can enroll guests to participate in exclusive Amex events.

Stagecoach
One of the biggest country music festivals takes place a week later, during the weekend of April 26–28, 2024. While Stagecoach 2024 is sold out, Amex card members with a ticket can visit the exclusive Amex Experience. You'll find the Amex team between Yellowstone Dutton Ranch and Palomino daily from 12 to 8 p.m.
The details on the Stagecoach benefits are light. However, card members can bring up to three guests to enjoy Amex's offerings. Upon entry, you'll need to flash your card.
Final Thoughts
American Express card members heading to Indio for the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals are in for a treat. With exclusive benefits and perks on the horizon, Amex will make memorable weekends a bit more special for its customers.
