After being postponed by the pandemic and making a strong comeback the following year, the 2023 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is quickly approaching, and Absolut is offering two lucky winners a pair of VIP tickets for Weekend 2 with all expenses paid. Hey! Vina serves as the official launch of the sweepstakes.

If you’re familiar with the dating app Tinder, then you will quickly get a grasp of what the tech company Hey! Vina is. Although it isn’t exactly the same, it is along similar lines, except it’s a safe space for women (created by women) to connect with and form new friendships with other women.

To enter the contest for a chance to win a VIP experience at Coachella, courtesy of Absolut, all you need to do is head over to this page and get your application in. If perhaps you may be looking for a homegirl to roll with, be sure to download the Hey! Vina app and create a profile. After that, you can start swiping to meet new friends once you take the “Discover Your Best Festival Friend Quiz”.

Don’t forget to get your entry in before April 16. Both the winner and the winner’s guest must be over the age of 21 to claim the two VIP tickets to Coachella’s second weekend. The lucky winner will receive $500 in addition to free transportation, lodging, and entry into the festival.

Coachella is sure to be lit this year, as it always is. The festival, which will take place in Indio, California, from April 14–16 and April 21–23, features performances by Frank Ocean, Bad Bunny, and BLACKPINK as headliners.

Rosalía, Gorillaz, Burna Boy, Blondie, Becky G, Pusha T, Metro Boomin, Charlie XCX, Kid Laroi, Flo Mili, Bjork, A Boogie, Uncle Waffles, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Elderbrook, Kenny Beats, Yves Tumor, The Chemical Brothers, Kaytranada, and SG Lewis are just some of the other artists who will be hitting the stage.

Tickets for this year’s festival went on sale in January, and according to Coachella.com, 2022 ticket holders and/or registered attendees got first dibs. All but a very small number of weekend passes to Coachella are still available.

VIP tickets start at $1,069 and GA tickets start at $549. The majority of tickets for Coachella have sold out. Car camping passes are also available, with general admission costing $149 and “preferred” passes costing $375.

In the past, the event has been streamed for fans at home, but according to Detour, Coachella will be broadcasted live on YouTube for both weekends across all six stages. Still, nothing beats the actual experience of physically being there and enjoying the live vibes.

With that said, we wish everyone who enters the contest the best of luck. All the information you need to enter and take part is provided here.
