Now that most of North America has broken free from the winter blues, we can finally look forward to sunshine and warmth. One of the primary signals that summer is approaching happens every year in the middle of April, where over 200,000 people from all over North America and the world flock to Indio, California for two weekends to attend the most popular music festival on the planet: Coachella.

The festival launches this upcoming weekend, 13-15 April, and will conclude the following weekend, 20-22 April. The playlist features a sampling of artists you can expect to see perform on stage, such as headliners The Weeknd, Beyoncé, and Eminem, as well as other big acts from artists like Cardi B, Migos, Vince Staples, BROCKHAMPTON, 6LACK, and SZA, amongst many others. The most notable difference compared to last year's line up is the major increase and inclusion of strong female acts this year, with roughly one-third of the the total lineup being dominated by women - a record high percentage for the festival.

In anticipation of the festival, CLOT has created a Coachella-inspired playlist to push you through the week.
