Coachella

The first weekend of Coachella is just two weeks away and ushers in 2015 Festival Season. Amongst the “prohibited items” listed for both Coachella and Lollapalooza are selfie sticks. Lollapalooza’s FAQ says no “GoPro attachments like sticks, selfie sticks & monopods.” Coachella’s FAQ says no “Selfie sticks / Narcisists.” (Good luck on enforcing the latter part of that, Coachella.) If you’re going to these fests, you’re just going to have to use your arm to take selfies the old fashioned way.

However: neither Governors Ball or Bonarooo‘s list selfie sticks in their respective prohibited items, though really, you should really not bring them here either.
