  • The Coachella Music & Arts Festival takes place over two weekends in April at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.

The weekend has become such an event for social media influencers, models, and celebrities that some have dubbed it the "influencer Olympics."

When Business Insider asked me to cover the festival, I was determined to go in with as little preconceived notions as possible. And, with this year's Coachella lineup featuring Childish Gambino, Anderson .Paak, Janelle Monae, and Tame Impala, some of my favorite artists, it was hard to not get amped up.

By the end of the weekend, I had seen some incredible performances, discovered amazing new artists, found my way into an ultra-exclusive afterparty, danced the night away at a hidden stage, and was convinced I probably wouldn't ever come back.

Here's what it was like:
