Coachella-goers will get more than just the music at this year’s festival, as HBO Max is bringing a special screening of the new season of Euphoria to the desert.
Timed to the show’s season three premiere on April 12, the streamer is hosting a special fan screening during Coachella’s first weekend, set for 11:59 p.m. PT on the 12th following the fest’s final performance. The event makes Euphoria the first-ever television series to screen its premiere episode on the Coachella campgrounds and is open on a first-come, first-served basis, with a festival wristband required for access.
HBO Max did not announce if any cast will be in attendance for the screening, but some of them will likely be in town for the show’s red carpet premiere in L.A. earlier in the week. Star Zendaya has her own connection to Coachella after she joined Euphoria composer Labrinth on stage at the festival in 2023, performing the songs “All for Us” from the show’s first season and “I’m Tired” from its second.
The third season of the hit HBO show comes after a nearly four-year hiatus and features a significant time jump from where the series last left off. Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Toby Wallace appear as series regulars, along with Eric Dane in his final role.
As for Coachella as a whole, the festival takes over the desert for its signature two weekends — this year April 10 – 12 and April 17 – 19 — with Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G serving as headliners.
