This year, Coachella did not disappoint. One of the highlights of weekend one was Beyonce’s set that included duets with Jay Z and Solange, and a full blown Destiny’s Child reunion that blew the roof off. After coming off a stellar Grammys this year, Cardi B performed flawlessly with many of the featured guests from her album Invasion of Privacy such as Chance the Rapper and 21 Savage. What was even more impressive was that Cardi is noticeably pregnant, and still performed with intoxicating energy.
Weekend 2 was also chock full of notable performances. In a surprise turn of events, Ariana Grande brought out Justin Bieber and the two performed Justin’s “Sorry” together. Very characteristically, A$AP Rocky rocked the house with his performance on Friday night, which included bringing out Tyler the Creator to perform their remix of Kanye’s “Freestyle 4”. Speaking of Kanye, he was another highlight of the weekend when he performed one of his Sunday Services on top of a man-made mountaintop. The performance drew 50,000 in-person spectators, as well as being live streamed on YouTube.
Other impressive performers included New Jersey-based DJs, UNIIQU3 and R3LL. Along with mixing in catchy instrumentals, UNIIQU3 spits straight fire at remarkable speed. R3LL’s performance was also lit, and had many spectators finding it impossible to not dance along.
