The Coachella Music & Arts Festival has become famous as a showcase for the music industry's hottest stars. When I attended, Childish Gambino put on a show that he described as "going to church."

The Coachella Music & Arts Festival takes place over two weekends in April at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
While Coachella is a music festival , it has long been just as famous for the exclusive parties surrounding the event, and the social media influencers, models, and celebrities who flock to them.
When I decided to go to Coachella for the first time this year, I was determined to get into an exclusive after-party. The first party I got into was an overcrowded dud but the second was the real deal.

I never really thought I'd go to Coachella , as I always saw it as more about the scene the parties, the Instagrammable art, the wild outfits than the music. But when Business Insider asked me to cover the festival , I was figured I might as well go all-in.

That meant getting into one of the exclusive parties outside of the event. You know, the kind where you're more likely to run into a B-List (or C-List) movie star or musician than a drunk teenager.

I'm happy to say that, by the end of the weekend and a bit of finagling, I was successful.Here's what it was like.
