It’s been nearly 25 years since the inaugural Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival happened in October 1999. Since then, the festival has traveled from the fringes of pop culture to its core — see: Beyoncé’s epic “Homecoming” performance in 2018 — inspiring fashion collections, references in popular movies and TV shows and plenty of memes along the way. As we embark upon the annual April migration of Los Angeles’ hipster enclaves to the desert, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about the long-running festival, with tips and commentary from our expert who has been covering the fest since 2007.

Bruno Mars will serve as the opening act at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome. The pop-soul hitmaker announced Friday that he’ll play two shows at the Clippers’ new home on Aug. 15 and 16, his first gigs in the Los Angeles area since 2018. Mars has spent much of his time since then performing in Las Vegas both on his own and with Silk Sonic, his throwback-R&B duo with Anderson .Paak. Their album “An Evening With Silk Sonic” came out in 2021 and won Grammy Awards for record of the year and song of the year with “Leave the Door Open”; Mars’ most recent solo LP, “24K Magic,” was released in 2016 and was named album of the year at the Grammys. The Intuit Dome, which will seat approximately 18,000, will join a crowded Los Angeles concert market that already features the similarly sized Crypto.com Arena, Kia Forum and Hollywood Bowl. Tickets for Mars’ Intuit Dome shows are set to go on sale April 11. Other acts scheduled to perform at the new arena in the coming months include Usher (on Sept. 21-22 and 24-25), Weezer (Oct.

“I got a phone call, they say that somebody dissin’.” Those lyrics kick off the chorus of J. Cole’s “7 Minute Drill,” a scathing song off his surprise album “Might Delete Later,” which dropped late Thursday amid his alleged feud with Kendrick Lamar. Taking shots at the Compton native and his reputation, Cole’s “7 Minute Drills” proves that now there’s technically two somebodies doing the dissin’. In the 3½-minute track, which closes the album, Cole doesn’t directly name the “To Pimp a Butterfly” artist, but drops enough breadcrumbs about his alleged rival’s career — from his notable Grammys haul to his album output — for rap fans to spell it out for themselves. At the beginning of the song, Cole seemingly bashes Lamar’s discography, turned “classic” to “tragic” and overhyped. “Your third s— was massive and that was your prime / I was trailin’ right behind and I just now hit mine,” Cole says. “Front of the line, with a comfortable lead / How ironic, son as I got it, now he want somethin’ with me.” The “No Role Modelz” rapper, 39, had burst onto the

It was a strange mechanical sound — a kind of rhythmic whirring — and it wouldn’t quit. At the time, the resident of Tahitian Mobile Home Park in Sylmar didn’t think much of the weekend racket, which seemed to be coming from a neighboring industrial building and may have lasted two hours or more, she said. Now, though, after learning that the warehouse behind the park was breached by thieves who stole as much as $30 million in a Sunday night heist, the woman has fixated on that odd noise — and what it may have been. “That sound is embedded in my head,” said the woman, who requested her name not be published over privacy concerns. “My mind is still going crazy over what happened. I know it’s just money, but they’re invading your space.” The elaborate Easter heist is believed to be among the biggest in L.A. history. It occurred at a Roxford Street facility where cash from businesses across the Southland is handled and stored by GardaWorld, a security services company. In a display of uncommon sophistication, thieves breached the single-story building

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball hasn’t played an NBA game in more than two years because of a left knee injury that has required three surgeries. Youngest brother LaMelo Ball was an All-Star in his second season with the Charlotte Hornets but has only played a total of 58 games in the two seasons since because of multiple ankle injuries. Their father, LaVar Ball, knows why his sons have struggled to stay healthy during their NBA careers — it’s their teams’ “rooty-toot workouts” and, in LaMelo’s case, his “raggedy shoes.” In an interview with CBS Sports, the Ball family patriarch said Lonzo and LaMelo would be much less susceptible to injury if their workouts still resembled those from back in the day, when LaVar had them and middle brother LiAngelo train for basketball by running up steep dirt trails near the family home in Chino Hills. “People like to flip the narrative,” LaVar Ball said. “They say, ‘Oh, LaVar, you worked the boys out too hard, that’s why they hurt.’ No, the reason they hurt is ’cause they got away from me. They start

By Megan Cerullo Edited By Anne Marie Lee April 5, 2024 / 2:01 PM EDT / CBS News What inspired Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter”? What inspired Beyoncé’s new album “Cowboy Carter”? 05:02 Levi’s stock rose 20% Thursday, boosted by a new Beyoncé song called “Levii’s Jeans.”  The track appears on the singer’s new country album “Cowboy Carter,”  released last month.  The duet, featuring Post Malone, runs slightly over 4 minutes and includes several references to Levi’s jeans. “I would just say that denim is having a moment and the Levi’s brand is having a powerful moment around the world,” Levi Strauss CEO Michelle Gass said.  “One of the things that really is significant about the Levi’s brand and we place a lot of emphasis and investment is making sure that Levi’s brand remains in the center of culture. And I don’t think there’s any better evidence or proof point than having someone like Beyoncé, who is a culture shaper, to actually name a song after us,” Gass added in response to an analyst question about the song’s effect on sales.  New Levi’s products including denim skirts

By Joshua Rodriguez Edited By Matt Richardson April 5, 2024 / 1:55 PM EDT / CBS News A high-yield savings account could give you a meaningful return on your idle cash.  Westend61 It’s important to save money so you have a safety net to fall back on when a financial emergency happens. After all, you never know when you’ll be faced with costly home or auto repairs, medical bills or other unforeseen expenses. In fact, most experts agree that you should have between three and six months worth of expenses in emergency savings at all times.  But doing so creates a challenge. Today’s high inflation rate means that you need to earn a meaningful return on your idle cash or it’s losing buying power. With prices growing at 3.2% annually , you’ll need to earn that rate or higher on your savings to offset the devaluation of your dollars. That can be difficult considering that  today’s average savings account interest rate is about 0.47% annually.

By Kerry Breen April 5, 2024 / 1:42 PM EDT / CBS News How the earthquake felt from Brooklyn How the earthquake felt from Brooklyn: “What the heck was that?” 10:12 An earthquake  rattled much of the Northeast  on Friday morning, with shaking felt across the New York City metropolitan area and in communities from  Baltimore  and  Philadelphia  up through New England . The quake had a magnitude of 4.8, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No major damage was reported as of midday Friday, officials said.  Here’s how earthquake strength is measured and what different quake magnitudes mean.  How are earthquakes measured?  Earthquakes are recorded by a network of seismic stations that measure the movement of the ground, according to the USGS. Each station captures data about how much the earth moves and vibrates during a temblor and how much energy moves out from the hypocenter, or the site of an earthquake under the planet’s surface.  Multiple scales are used to measure an earthquake. Most commonly, scientists refer to an earthquake’s magnitude as a measure of its strength. Geologists once used the Richter scale
