Honestly, America’s most beloved festival<\/a> (as well as its No 1 fan Lindsay Lohan) has a lot to teach us Brits. <\/p>\n

\"10<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Ah, Coachella<\/a>. Everything that we’ve got, you can do better: music line-ups (Wu-Tang and<\/em> Blur), amenities (when was the last time you heard of someone dying<\/a> on a Coachella portaloo?), weather… As Indio, California readies itself for the final Coachella weekend, we let you know what partygoers can expect the second time round.<\/p>\n

\"Lindsay<\/a><\/p>\n

1. It is<\/i> possible to do Coachella sober (according to Lindsay)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Linds wouldn\u2019t let a little thing like court-mandated rehab stop her from attending her favourite music festival \u2013 but she did tell TMZ that she stayed off booze and drugs<\/a> for the whole weekend, so who are we to judge? Here she is with her 16-year-old brother, Cody, who presumably kept his sibling on teh straight and narrow.<\/p>\n

2. Americans love bermuda shorts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last time we saw a pair of bare legs was in last August. So we were a little overwhelmed by all the hairy, male all-American limbs on display \u2013 especially when they were accompanied by that other great American sartorial innovation, the bermuda short.<\/p>\n

3. Nobody knows who the Stone Roses are<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDid they spell Rolling Stones wrong?\u201d one Coachella bystander was heard saying. Turns out Americans are less amenable to the current vogue for indie revivalism than we are. Admirable, really \u2013 it\u2019s kind of hard to fly the flag for Madchester when the Hacienda\u2019s been turned into a block of high-rise apartments.<\/p>\n

4. The most popular people at Coachella have pools<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temperatures at Coachella hit 98 degrees Fahrenheit over the weekend, which meant that any excuse to down cocktails and hang out by a pool was very, very welcome. Step forward Lacoste L!ve, who were happy to oblige Coachella-goers with everything we needed to cool down.<\/p>\n
