A new study has revealed the festivals Americans are searching for the most in 2024 – Coachella takes the top spot.
Bonus code experts NoDeposit365.com analyzed the average monthly search volume in the US over the past 12 months of various well-known festivals from around the world. The terms examined include ‘[festival] lineup’, ‘[festival] 2024’, and ‘[festival] resale’.
In first place, being crowned America’s most anticipated festival, is Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival – more commonly known as ‘Coachella’.

Burning Man is in second place, with an average of 518,729 searches a month; the unique week-long festival happens annually in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, where festival goers temporarily build ‘Black Rock City’.
Organizers insist this is not a festival but rather an ‘experiment in temporary community guided by 10 principles of our culture’.
Lollapalooza is the third most anticipated festival in America, with 391,135 average monthly searches.

Olivia King, spokesperson for NoDeposit365.com, has commented on the findings: “Festivals are well-loved and anticipated all over the world, with many people returning to their favorites every year. Whether they are music, arts, heritage, literature, food – they are so important to people.
“They create a sense of community and cultural identity; festivals are a place where no matter who you are or where you are from, everyone feels accepted and is free to be themselves and have fun. It is great to see festivals still bringing people together in 2024, given the incredibly high search volumes in this study.”
