The Tamesis
Just after midnight, the first day of the 2026 Coachella music festival is coming to an end in Indio, California, and the party is just getting started at the exclusive Guess Jeans venue.
Just outside the festival grounds, the Guess Jeans enclave hosted its traditional opening party for the fifth year in a row, a bustling event attended by just about every star in town. Around 1 a.m., row after row of black SUVs started rolling up, carrying some of music’s biggest names, Coachella headliners and people just ready to have fun.
As for who will be spotted mingling among one of the compound’s cluttered private residences this year? Anya-Taylor Joy, Jennie, Sombr, Emma Roberts, Central Cee, PinkPantheress, Amelia Gray Hamlin, A$AP Nast, Evan Mock, Lila Moss and more; all enjoyed some late-night chatter in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
DJs Kaytranada, Kitty Ca$h, Rodaidh McDonald, D33J and Sophie Gray played songs throughout the night while guests sipped on Hennessy or Patron tequila cocktails including espresso martinis and spicy watermelon margaritas. The latter, in particular, has proven to be a popular late-night desert thirst quencher.
Meanwhile, a Sonic food truck was parked just outside the rave for midnight snacks—there was no shortage of mashed potatoes, corn dogs, and chicken nuggets to choose from; perfect snacks for the 3 a.m. ride home after a night of dancing.
Here are more exclusive photos from inside the Guess party.
