Festival season is all about good vibes, great music, and making unforgettable memories—but if you’re not prepared, the heat, dust, and long days can seriously kill the mood. That’s why The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei is sharing the affordable must-haves and smart hacks he’s relying on to stay comfortable, stress-free, and ready for anything at Coachella and Stagecoach.
Ahead of the festival, the Dancing With the Stars champ opened up about the $3 essential he never forgets to pack, the skincare picks his fiancée Kelsey Anderson got him hooked on, and the new PATRÓN EL ALTO Minis he’s bringing along to keep the party going.
Whether you’re headed to the desert or just planning for summer events, his tips are low-effort, high-impact—and totally worth stealing.
Joey Graziadei’s Top Coachella Essentials
E!: What’s one unexpected item you carry at music festivals that’s a game-changer?
JG: Anything that’s easy to fit into your bag because you’re going to be doing a lot of walking! That’s why I’m so excited about the PATRÓN EL ALTO Minis because they’re the perfect size to throw in your pocket to celebrate anywhere during the weekend.
Make sure you have more than enough chapstick. Last year at Stagecoach, my lips barely survived.

These minis are all about convenience without compromising on quality. You’re not stuck with just any drink; you’ve got this top-shelf tequila in a perfectly portable size. It’s like bringing a little bit of luxury and celebration right into the heart of the festival!”
E!: What’s your must-have product to feel comfortable in the Coachella heat?

E!: What performances or events are you looking forward to most at Coachella 2025?
JG: I cannot wait to see Post Malone again. I also know that Lady Gaga is known to be an amazing performer, so that should be exciting to finally see. You also have Benson Boone, Green Day, Zedd, and more.
The lineup this year is unreal. I’m also excited about joining PATRÓN at NEON Carnival and Zenyara Desert Night, the legendary late night after-parties with PATRÓN EL ALTO as the official tequila sponsor.
E!: PATRÓN is launching the new El Alto Minis later this year. What makes these drinks the ideal beverage to elevate festival moments?
JG: I am excited about the launch of The PATRÓN EL ALTO Minis, because PATRÓN EL ALTO is hands down my favorite tequila they have. We first tried PATRÓN EL ALTO at Stagecoach last year and at the time I was new to drinking tequila. It’s become a staple for Kelsey and I whenever we are looking for a nice tequila cocktail.
PATRÓN EL ALTO has been there for all of my big moments this year, including winning Dancing with the Stars, so it’s so cool that I now have my favorite tequila in a pocket size.
E!: What was it like visiting the PATRÓN distillery, and what stood out to you about the experience?
JG: I had the absolute pleasure of joining PATRÓN at their distillery, Hacienda PATRÓN, earlier this year. It was such a special opportunity to learn about their handcrafted, additive-free tequila-making process. They put such time and effort into the quality of their tequilas, and it’s really something special.
E!: What can you tell us about the PATRÓN experience at Coachella and why it’s a must-visit during the festival
JG: I went to Stagecoach for the first time last year with PATRÓN, and now I’m so excited to be at my first Coachella with my favorite tequila, and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone other than PATRÓN…and Kelsey!
If Coachella is anything like how PATRÓN showed up in the desert last year, then I know it’s going to be an incredible weekend. The music and energy at Coachella are unlike anything else, and PATRÓN definitely knows how to elevate the whole weekend with the after-parties they show up at and the people and experiences they bring together.
