The end of Coachella's second day resembled "a scene out of a war film" as punters caused a stampede while exiting the event.

According to theMusic.com.au reporter Benny Doyle, festival-goers injured during the mad rush were stretchered out of the event on Saturday night.

In our daily blog from he says that accouting to eye-witness accountrs, "punters were getting herded not so much shoulder to shoulder but nose to nose. Dust was flying in every orifice; the wind took a turn for the cold. People were getting stretchered away. It was like a scene from some war film."

It is not believed that anyone was seriously injured.
