A viral post from a Coachella camper exposed aggressive behavior by a female staffer in the Lot 10A showers car camping area. She used a bullhorn to police a quiet dirt path, issuing threats to cut wristbands and yelling loudly, even after complaints were raised to supervisors. Attendees corroborated the story, describing the staffer as power-tripping and mishandling crowd control, especially near food trucks and line areas.
This situation has ignited conversations about festival staff management, highlighting frustrations that contrast with past smoother Coachella experiences. Multiple social media users encouraged direct complaints to Goldenvoice to prompt accountability.
Additionally, reports emerged of alleged harassment of a trans attendee by security near La Campana, adding to concerns about respectful treatment and proper conduct.
The incident calls attention to the challenges organizers face in enforcing rules in low-traffic zones. It underscores a need for improved staff training, better signage, and stricter oversight to maintain a safe, respectful environment without escalating tensions.
Organizers are advised to take these criticisms seriously to prevent repeats of such confrontations in future events.
