Everything happens at Empire Polo Club, in Indio. Indio · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site. Car camping available for less than $50/night.

Head Trip keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Saturday and closing on a Sunday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Indio are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• 2-day general admission starting at $499
• Car camping available for less than $50/night
• Dedicated shuttle services to and from the venue
• Featuring artists like Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia

What the trip costs from Paris

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Head Trip are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Head Trip on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
