How to ask someone "Are you going to/attending X?"; 'X' being a name of an event (a concert/someone's wedding/etc.)


How to ask someone "Are you going to/attending X?"; 'X' being a name of an
event (a concert/someone's wedding/etc.) My attempt:

> Coachellaわいくの?  
>  Are you going to Coachella?

Just wondering if there's a better way to ask this.




Based on the context, I'm assuming your question is asking someone if he or
she is _intending_ or _planning_ to go the event we're calling "X." That being
said, you have two ways to express this question:

  * Xに行くつもりですか。[X ni iku tsumori desu ka.] 
  * Xに行く予定ですか。[X ni iku yotei desu ka.]

つもり /tsumori/ and 予定 /yotei/ both involve an intention or plan to do
something, but there is a slight nuance between the two terms.

  * つもり means that you have an intention to do something. You may or may not actually form a definite plan, but it's just that, an _intention_.
  * 予定, on the other hand,indicates that you will go through with the intention (maybe you've made a plan that you will for sure be carrying out).

The short contrast is that つもり signifies intention, while 予定 signals a
guaranteed or definite plan.

Note that, for either term, the plain form of the verb needs to be used.
