Coachella Crossroads is owned by the Mission Twenty-Nine Palms Indian Band. It adjoins Spotlight 29 Casino, another tribal business.
The tribe inaugurated the 47-acre property in 2018, envisioning a space that could be used for outdoor concerts, car shows, soccer fields, private events such as quinceañeras, and temporary accommodation for music festivals on other sites. The Coachella Music Festival in Indio and its sister event, the Stagecoach Country Music Festival, are slated to take place in April after skipping 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Coachella Crossroads debuted with a Toby Keith concert in May, before California lifted its COVID-19 restrictions, and then hosted a fireworks show on July 4.
He had two events on his calendar for September but postponed them, citing concerns over COVID. One of the events, a two-day Mexican Independence Day festival, has been postponed to May. The other, a Miranda Lambert concert, has not yet been rescheduled.
