Coachellas most highly-coveted party wristbands

The carnival is produced by Jeffrey Best and Best Events with nightlife impresario Brent Bolthouse—the creative behind Bungalow Hospitality Group’s well-admired Bungalow bars in Santa Monica and Huntington Beach. The group has more recently opened dining venues The Bungalow Long Beach and The Bungalow Kitchen by Michael Mina Tiburon. His impact in the industry spans decades, leading his event company Bolthouse Productions to continuously impress with their creativity, detail, and knack for orchestrating a good time.

Neon Carnival 2024 marks 13 years of partying hard in the desert, and the festivities show no signs of slowing down. On Saturday, April 13th, the immense Desert International Horse Park will be transformed into an enormous fun fair spanning the length of three football fields, complete with games, music, food and drinks, and the iconic Levis Ferris wheel. The scope and spectacle grow every year, solidly cementing Neon Carnival as one of Coachella’s Hottest Parties.

Neon Carnival 2024 will bring back familiar favorites alongside new sights and sounds. The night’s soundtrack will feature viral TikTok superstar DJ Hunny Bee as well as Vanderpump Rules star, DJ James Kennedy. Both are venerated performers known to keep the party raging with their high energy live DJ sets. They will be joining the absurdly cool headline event, Hip Hop sensation Anderson .Paak, who will be reprising his role as DJ Pee Wee, the DJ who spins vinyl and went viral. The untouchable live performer will be bringing his horn player and drum kit with him on stage, which practically guarantees the evening will go down in history. In 13 years of getting down, Neon Carnival 2024 might be the most exciting lineup yet. 

Levi’s will return as a sponsor with their iconic branded Ferris Wheel alongside Patrón El Alto, who will be serving up custom cocktails at the bars throughout the venue, as well as providing VIP table service, a first for Neon Carnival. Liquid I.V. will be returning with their signature bumper car installation, equal parts fun and photo op. Other sponsors include Ghost Energy, Nütrl Vodka Seltzers, Heineken, La Croix, Coca-Cola, French Bee Airlines, Tangle Teezer, and Path Water, returning for their 3rd year in a row. Everyone is bringing their A-game, and the crowd is excited to see what they have in store. 

Please Note: Access to the event is at the discretion of the organizer and submitting a request does not guarantee access. Zocha Group will review your request and contact you with more information if we are able to accommodate.

To be considered for access, please only send one request inquiry per person, noting the events you are interested in attending. Please do not use the “auto-fill” feature and ensure you have entered the name of the event or your request will be invalid. Event invitations are not for sale. To be further considered for access, please follow @zochagroup on Instagram.

 

Neon Carnival presented by Liquid I.V.

In the early Neon Carnival days, the party was an even more exclusive indoor event at the Barker Hangar in Thermal, CA. It was a party fully-stocked with Hollywood elites as a private place to escape to after the festival with only a few-hundred guests on the invite list. The outdoor carnival aspect didn’t come into play until 2010, inspired by another of Bolthouse’s famous private parties held at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Each year the Neon Carnival has grown, with the event switching locations in 2018 to HITS Desert Horse Park, a larger space for an increased guest list of 8,000 attendees. The new guest list has expanded even further to include 10,000 attendees.

A-List Attendees

Past Neon Carnival events are well-known for drawing in a kaleidoscope of A-listers. It may be no surprise that attendees have included regular clubgoers like Drake, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Paris Hilton, but when Hollywood royalty like Leonardo Dicaprio and Clint Eastwood also show up for the festivities, the carnival’s status is cemented as being the best of the best. Last year’s party brought Camila Cabello, Metro Boomin, and Lil Nas X, but if there’s one thing we know about Neon Carnival, the guests get more glamorous every year.

The Neon Carnival is an invite-only event.

The big question hopeful attendees have each year is, “How do you get a wristband?” Bolthouse cites close-knit industry relationships as being the number one source for the guest list. Invites go out to talent agencies, record labels, and the numerous nightlife connections Bolthouse has developed over the years. 

The curated selection of invitees are given a time and place for advanced check-in where they pick up their wristbands in Los Angeles within the weeks prior to the event. The 2019 event marked the first year the check-in location was made to feel like a party itself, with a red carpet, photo station, complimentary beverages and a lounge space for guests waiting in line for their wristbands. The sale of knock-offs online are a given for an event of this prominence, but Bolthouse ensures that the official wristbands can’t be removed for resale. Entry for the priceless event can’t be purchased, where even the extremely limited number of bottle service tables are quickly bought up by invited VIPs. 

 

Neon Carnival Access

Invite requests are at the discretion of Bolthouse Productions and Best Events, with influencers and highly-followed Instagram accounts likely to receive priority. According to Bolthouse himself, anyone with a dream of waltzing into the event is best off getting to know him personally through one of his many bar and nightlife ventures.

You won’t miss out on any Coachella acts as the Carnival is always held after the closing artist has ended. Neon Carnival has never been directly affiliated with the festival and has always been an event for post-Coachella, which has helped cultivate a friendship rather than competition between the two events.

Whether you’re one of the lucky invited guests, or a spectator hoping to make it to the list one day, excitement continues to mount as all eyes will be on the Neon Carnival this Coachella season. Its 11th installment will be sure to bring new surprises as guests party until the sun comes up at one of the hottest social events of the year.

            Experience Tailor Nashville

            Nashville, Tennessee has a new hotspot that has opened up to thunderous acclaim. The restaurant has been named one of Bon Appetit’s 10 Best New Restaurants in America, its head chef, Vivek Surti, has earned the achievement of being a James Beard Award semifinalist. Impressive accolades for sure, but a single meal at Tailor Nashville will convince even the most skeptical diner that Surti has created something truly special. Gujarati cooking is something that does not need elevating, but Surti has taken extra care at every step to create a seasonal menu that highlights the bold, nostalgic flavors the region is known for. With intimate presentation and plenty of pairings, anecdotes, and surprises from the chef himself, few restaurants can embody the warmth, comfort, and soul of Nashville quite like Tailor. It’s a remarkable gift, from his family to yours. Sit down, take a load off, and get to know this exciting destination.

             

            The Dining Room

            The space itself feels more like a friend’s home than a restaurant, with exposed brick walls, bespoke decorations, and no communal tables in sight. Warm light shines down from the enormous crystal chandelier – an actual heirloom from chef Surti’s family home – which sets the stage for a truly pleasant meal. Grab a drink at the side bar, sink into a blueberry leather seat, and clink glasses with close company. You might catch a glimpse of Surti explaining the meal to come, or if you’re lucky, opening a bottle of bubbly with a saber.

            There are only two seatings each night, and the energy is palpable. Everyone is friendly, relaxed, and as excited to tell you about the food as you are to eat it. The light earth tones around the restaurant really make the colorful food pop, and every moment is a simple but elegant photo op. Take in the drifting scents of spices and fresh brewed Chai, and breathe easy; you’re home.

            The Menu

            Chef Surti’s story begins at home, with influences, ingredients and traditions originating from his mother’s cooking. His style seamlessly blends South Asian flavors with a hint of his Nashville upbringing, putting special emphasis on the beauty of everyday foods and the warmth they bring into our lives. (And with fresh ingredients and expert preparation, it’s hard not to be convinced.) 

            Tailor’s seasonal coursed menu is extremely tight, with only 7-8 dishes to enjoy, which should speak to their quality. Winter 2024’s menu, for example, is lauded for the Kadhi, a yogurt soup carefully seasoned with cumin, white turmeric, and ginger. Dip the handmade Thelpi frybread in the concoction, but save room for the Sweet Potato Bhel, Surti’s take on an iconic Indian Street food, and the signature Amaroo Hills Farm duck, served as both a perfectly marinated breast, and a jaw-droppingly tender duck confit biryani. 

            The menu is fully dynamic, changing as the seasons pass and more than able to accommodate dietary restrictions. With fresh vegetables every season and Surti’s new ideas always finding their way to the table, there’s no way of knowing what awaits you at your reservation, and no doubt that it will be something magical.

            Sip & Savor

            The beverage services at Tailor Nashville are world-class, with a large selection of domestic and international wines to complement your meal. An entire page of inventive and original cocktails is sure to delight every palette, with options ranging from sweet and light to bold and timeless. But for the true Tailor experience, the beverage pairing cannot be skipped. It features many captivating choices from the lengthy beverage menu, whose stories and qualities make the experience all the more memorable. For those who don’t partake, there’s even a spirit-free pairing that features all the teas and tonics best suited to supplement the delicious food.

            This is all without mentioning the iconic Chai, a recipe Surti’s dad has been developing for over 10 years. We know it contains real Gujarati Tea and a hint of fresh ginger, but the enchanting blend of spices remains a mystery. The tea is served alongside Nankhatai, his dad’s favorite cookie, and makes for an idyllic conclusion to an already memorable meal.
