  • Sabrina Carpenter unveiled "Sabrina's Pit Stop," a pop-up experience created with Airbnb, while the festival debuted a 75-minute film installation by Radiohead singer Thom Yorke and artist Stanley Donwood.
  • The Indio Police Department urged attendees on Thursday to call the non-emergency line for concert-related concerns, while organizers scheduled a special screening of "Euphoria" season three premiere after Sunday's final performance.
