Best spot to stand for Gagachella?

[X Dreams 94]

Where is the best viewing spot for Gagachella? I'm going weekend 2 and don't plan to camp at the stage all day. I'll be getting there shortly before or during Missy Elliott's set and then staying until Gaga. It seems like again the catwalk close to the B stage would be good, but want to get second thoughts. Thanks!

I stood to the right of the catwalk, about mid-way between the sound booth and the main stage. 

I'm unclear if there was more space to stand between the sound booth and the B stage, but similar to the Joanne tour, you can't see the entire show from the middle. So I watched the end of Garden of Eden, Poker Face, Shallow from the screens. But I had a great view for the rest of the show 

I approached from the right side (facing the stage) of the Coachella Stage around the beginning of Missy's set, and had a blast throughout. But would make my way through every time I saw a gap between people until I got to where I had planned to stand. Emphasis on trying to move only when there are gaps, to avoid pushing and potential conflict with other people whenever necessary 

However, on opposite side of where I stood for the catwalk, was where she ran along the side of it on the ground and sung with the fans during "Vanish Into You," so that's a win! But then you would be further away from, and with an un-centered view of the main stage  From there, you would approach the stage from more of the left side, if you were facing it 

I'm also speaking from the perspective of a 6'1 man. So sight lines are rarely an issue for me, but I think realistically, given the shape of the stage, no one place offers a perfect view for the entirety of the show.

I’m thinking stage left, there’s usually pockets of space up there. I’ll be going this weekend as well and I’ll be scoping out the sitch Friday during the day.

Going weekend 2, also, and all I’ve read is stage left, halfway catwalk if I wanna try and get super close to her. Will still get a lot of the main stage action and supposedly she spends a lot of time left of the sage? Not sure if this is true, as I haven’t seen any of the performance.
 

It all depends on the type of experience you want. If you want to try and see Gaga close, go left, catwalk. If you want the overall experience, with best sound balance, I’ve read go close to the sound booth.

Assuming she jumps off the stage and interacts with fans during "Vanish into You" again, since you don't want to camp out all day anyway, I'd aim for either the end of the B-stage/catwalk where she comes out or to the left of the catwalk. (Left = from the audience perspective) 

However, be aware that part of the area to the left of the catwalk is the guest viewing area, and you can't get there without an artist guest wristband. I'm not sure how far back it extends. 

It's also possible that she'll mix things up and run up the other side of the catwalk this time. You never know with Gaga. 

Since you're planning on going for Missy, when the crowd for Missy leaves, you can always take that opportunity to move up if you want. 

Coachella makes good use of the giant screens, which you'll likely need to look at some point during the show regardless of where you stand, since she makes use of multiple stages/the catwalk.
