South Asian music fans flock to Coachella this year as it features hit community attractions.

The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, one of the highest-grossing music events in the world, takes place over two consecutive weekends each April in Indio, in California.

This year, Indian singer and actor Diljit Singh Dosanjh and Pakistani singer and songwriter Ali Sethi are among the South Asian artists making their debut at the festival as they perform alongside international acts like BLACKPINK, Kid Laroi, Charli XCX, Labrinth, Jai Wolf, Joy Crookes, Jai Paul, Frank Ocean and Underworld.

Bloodywood - from Indian parody band to metal music royalty

Sethi's Pasoori was the most searched song of 2022 on Google. Dosanjh, hugely popular among the Indian diaspora around the world, will be the first Punjabi-speaking singer to perform at the festival.

Last year's lineup also included South Asian artists like Raveena Aurora and Arooj Aftab, but the high profiles of this year's artists make it a great moment for the fans.
