The same time music fans will descend upon the desert for the second weekend of the 2027 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the valley will welcome music — and other entertainment industry — professionals for Pollstar Live! on April 13-15 in Indian Wells.
Pollstar Live! is the annual conference of Pollstar, a renowned trade publication that covers the live entertainment industry. The conference includes artists, agents, managers, promoters, venue executives, production professionals and other leaders from across the global live entertainment business.
