Highlights From This Years' Coachella


The infamous music festival, Coachella was held these past two weekends where fans and music lovers far and wide came together for two epic weekends. With a diverse range of music, talented artists, and more, we’ve got the low down for the festival right here.


The first night’s headliner started off with a bang with Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican-based rapper & singer took the stage on April 14th & 21st highlighting some of his biggest hits including Safaera, Efecto, and DÁKITI. His live concerts are known to draw a crowd and one of the world's biggest music festivals was one of them. He even brought on Post Malone for a rendition of his single Yonaguni.


Remi Wolf was definitely an artist whose performance you'll want to see on repeat after their Coachella show. Fans were in pure awe at her incredible set as she took over the entire stage with her contagious energy and excitement.

Seeing Labrinth alone is on our bucket list but with the addition of some guest appearances makes it all the better. In his first weekend Billie Eillish accompanied him on stage for his latest release ‘I’ve Never Felt So Alone’ and the following was none other than Zendaya for their song ‘All Of Us’.


The highly anticipated performance by Frank Ocean had the worlds’ jaw drop. After some years since his last live appearance, fans were antsy to see him perform once again. He was said to headline both Sunday dates and we were on the edge of our seats since the lineup was announced. He showed up and showed out with some of his biggest hits including ‘Novacane’, ‘White Ferrari’, and ‘Solo’. His goal was to curate an intimate experience despite millions standing side by side in the crowd. With a mixture of technical difficulties and an upset crowd, he didn’t continue his headlining appearance the following weekend and was instead replaced by Blink-182.


The South Korean K-pop group ‘Blackpink’ took to the stage on the big stage on Saturday night. Between their live vocals, stellar onstage energy, and passion that you can feel throughout the stage, they were truly like no other. The girl group gave the crowd goosebumps with their entrance and took Coachella by storm with some of their biggest hits.


On the route of their tour, boygenius headed to the Coachella valley following their latest album release and destroyed the stage with some of their newest tracks. The group comprised of solo acts & best friends had plain old fun as they held the stage side by side. Between their love of their music, the love for each other, and the feel-good energy of their vibe, it was one to remember.


The talented WILLOW and THE ANXIETY is definitely a highlight performance for this year. Not only could you see and feel the pure excitement running off of the stage from her and the band but fans were having the time of their life. Jaden even joined the stage for his song ‘Summertime In Paris’.


The rock band Blondie stole the show with their infectious energy as they brought us right back to the 70s. At 77 years young, lead singer Debbie Harry still keeps the audience right in the palm of her hand. As they led us through some of their biggest hits including 'One Way or Another' and 'Rapture'. We've still got their show on repeat.


The leaders of pop punk, Blink-182 had all eyes on them and fans dancing from all around the world as they oded to some of their throwbacks including 'What's My Age Again' and more. Each member had their hearts right in the moment and sounded perfectly in synch as they fed their energy off one another. The crowd was loving every second of this legendary band.

American singer and songwriter Dominic Fike was a sight to see in his element and fans were loving every bit of it. His feel-good energy and smooth setlist was a breath of fresh air for festival-goers as he was calm, cool, and collected within his massive show.


Singer/songwriter Becky G headed on stage and gave a show-stopping performance as expected. From her vibrant energy and stage presence to her pure talent, it was clear that after being in the spotlight for many years, she still remains a legendary artist. She even took fans by surprise in her hit song ‘Shower’ from 2014 and the roaring crowd was loving this throwback to early years in her career. Becky was joined on stage by Natti Natasha for their mesmerizing track ‘Sin Pijama’, which was a major highlight in her performance.
