COACHELLA KING: PAUL TOLLETT

Coachella—the big kahuna of U.S. music festivals—is upon us, with a diverse and fascinating lineup and a deafening buzz. The two-weekend desert gathering has its own lane as a social event (even apart from its heavyweight headliners), and its high-quality livestream is a global phenomenon that has helped break a number of acts. Understandably, Goldenvoice boss Paul Tollett (the contents-page VIP of our most recent print edition) and team are feeling festive. If only they could find a way to mute our microphone.
