Fauxchella 2022: The Bay Area Alternative to Coachella

GOOD NEWS! Coachella is BACK for 2022. Better news? Fauxchella is ALSO BACK! I’ve actually been updating this for two years now, watching rescheduling and trying to predict the lineup. But the guesswork has been removed, so here is your officially unofficial Fauxchella lineup. Only it’s the Bay Area, so masking will (hopefully) be enforced and you aren’t going to have to sleep in a field of virus vectors every night! YOU CAN SLEEP AT YOUR OWN HOME WITH VIRUS VECTORS YOU KNOW AND LOVE!!!!

Remember, Fauxchella is any act playing Coachella in the Bay Area in the month of April. I’m going to do my best to find every Bay Area show a Coachella act is playing. However, feel free to email dakin@spinningplatters.com if I’ve missed any! Bookmark this page, because we will be adding shows as they get announced.  Confirmed Coachella performers are in italics.
