Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesGoldenvoice, promoter of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and Stagecoach Country Music Festival, last week completed the purchase of 280 acres of land comprised of Eldorado Polo Club, Triangle Bar Farms, Fish Creek and Ambassador Glen Holden’s property in Indio, Calif.
Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of concert promotion company AEG Live, already has 280 adjacent acres on long term lease, the Empire Polo Club, which together with the new purchase comprise the site of the festival. Goldenvoice president Paul Tollett tells Billboard.biz that such deals “help us put in some infrastructure so we don’t have to keep coming back and doing the same things each year.”
