Since joining Apple in 2011, Tim Cook has been spotted multiple times at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California. The Apple CEO's attendance at the festival is a testament to his dedication to experiencing music as an art form.

Cook Attends Music Festivals and Finds Inspiration in Music

According to the story by Business Insider, Cook attended the festival in 2019, where he posed for a photograph with DJ and music producer Diplo. On Sunday, a viral TikTok video showed Cook and Apple's Senior Vice President of Services, Eddy Cue, walking around the festival grounds the year prior.

Last year, Cook was again in attendance, standing front row for pop singer Harry Styles' performance, as spotted in a video uploaded to Twitter. When asked about his passion for music, Cook told Fast Company in 2018 that his workouts would not be the same without it.

"Music inspires, it motivates," he said. "It's also the thing at night that helps quiet me. I think it's better than any medicine."

Between Cook's last appearance and this year's festival, Cook was seen in India celebrating the opening of the country's first Apple Store.

As one of the world's most influential and successful technology moguls, Tim Cook's attendance at the annual Coachella music festival in Indio, California, is notable.
