The second day of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, on weekends 2, seemed similar to Saturday, April 12, with some notable exceptions, including an introduction to Easter eggs for Green Day.
It started with a guy in pink rabbit costume that flows on stage to present the group, and this pink rabbit guy quickly turned out to be other than Flava Flav presenting the Alt-Rock Green Day icons.
Having looked good and tight, guitarist and singer Billie Joe Armstrong, bass player and support singer Mike Dirnt, and the drummer Tre Cool proved that after almost 40 years together, they are always cool, always relevant and always noisy. The set started with “American idiot”, which ended with an explosion of fireworks that rose from the scene, followed by thunderous cheers of the crowd. The group followed songs like “Holiday” and “Know Your enemy”.
Although the group did not bring out surprise guests, as they usually do, they drew a member of the public to help sing “know your enemy”. And the member of the public Armstrong chose came out in full strength, grabbing the singer’s microphone and taking control of the scene a little, and it really seemed to have the group, which seemed to have fun as much as the crowd.
One of the most important differences was the performance of the English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who was the addition of this weekend in the niche that Weezer interpreted. About half an hour before Sheeran went on stage, the Mojave tent was at full capacity with fans flowing from each open end. The lucky ones were who won a place in the shade. The others, well, they had the chance of the same, leaving all the sun burns at 3 p.m. But when Sheeran opened with “Castle on the Hill” and the fans heard his honey voice, the crowd melted for a different reason.
One of the unique aspects of Sheeran’s performance is its ability to offer a dynamic spectacle entirely solo. He uses a loop pedal to record music in real time, interpreter, then uses it to build a song. This amounts to watching a studio session happening in real time and is a treat even if it is the first time that you have looked at one of its live performance. It was the first time that the singer has performed in Coachella, and he released her successful arsenal, notably “Thinking Out Loud”, “Azizam” and “Bad Habits”, which he played last.
At Gobi’s tent, glass beams presented their mixture of psychedelic rocks and East Indian sounds, shaking their unique gold masks. The project is an original idea of the Indian-Australian multi-instructist and producer Rajan Silva. The group that borders a group of Jam Trippy and Groovy, had a dedicated fans who danced in “Snake Oil”, “Rattlesnake” and “Mirage”. In the middle of their set, the group had even picked up the passer -by of the festival walking from one scene to another.
Yo Gabba Gabba! Returned to the Mojave tent to sing their blows, which seemed to shake adults and children who shake all their waves and dizzying with excitement. They did not release new surprise guests but presented the treat for last weekend for the two weekend, which included Flavour Flav, Paul Williams, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Portugal. Man and other characters, such as Care Bears and Teletubbies.
At noon, when the heat felt like it was not intended to leave, a melodic refuge was necessary. As always, Japanese breakfast independent of the Indie Pop group. On the outdoor stage, the performance of Michelle Zauner’s head was dreamy, combining a fun presence with ambitious voices. The group interpreted a mixture of songs from their new album “For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women)”, as well as fans like “Kokomo, in”, “Road Head” and “Posing in Bondage” and a blanket of “I Love You Forever” by Donna Lewis. “”
The time defined for alt rockers from the 1990s, Jimmy Eat World on Saturday in Coachella, was at 4 p.m., it was a difficult period for the group because it seemed to be one of the hottest of the day, and the sunset, which is known as Golden Hour during music festivals when the sun covered is more than fans of music were even heavier for the day. Catch their second wind. So when the Jimmy Eat World set started, the energy of the crowd was weak, but as the words of the group’s greatest success say, everything was going to be good.
The group brought things back to simpler moments, playing straight rock without flashy images projected on screens or gadgets on stage. It was just Jimmy Eat World and years of successful songs. They entered one of their greatest successes “Sweetness” of the group “Beld American” in the group in 2001, early in the set. As the group obtained its greatest successes, “Bleed American” and “The Middle”, which closed the performance, the crowd was fully inside, jumping towards music and singing, especially during the crochet of the final song “The Middle”, while music fans have loudly completed the lyrics “everything, everything will be fine, everything will be fine, Alright”.
Who doesn’t like a meeting? After all, this often leads to an electrified presence, as was the case for the Mafia Shoreline of the La Rap group. The group met for its second representation in five years, dragging only behind the performance of the weekend, naturally leading to a massive – and excited – crowd – in the Sahara tent. Classics like “Musty”, “Bands” and “Bottle Service” gave life to the crowd, as is a surprise performance by rapper BIA.
One of the differences this weekend also appeared in Gustavo Dudamel and Los Angeles Philharmonic. While Dudamel and the Phil again welcomed Laufey, Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, there was no sign of LL Cool J, Becky G or Zedd. Instead, fans were entitled to performances alongside Natasha Bedingfield, Dave Grohl and Cynthia Erivo.
On the other hand with his weekend performance, Charli XCX opted against a set filled with guests on the stage of Coachella. For those who follow his discography closely, this means that fans have obtained a performance from the album “BRAT”, instead of the album “BRAT AND IT’s completely different but also BRAT”. The only invited to join the British singer was the influencer who became singer Addison Rae, who delivered an animated performance of “von dutch” – with the emblematic addison cry that captivated the internet last year.
While there were a large part of festival -goers waiting to watch Charli XCX on the main scene, Ivan Cornejo attracted a strong crowd to the Mojave tent. The native of Riverside wore a shimmering denim in two pieces and delivered his dark ballads such as “dirty para ser Feliz”, “ya te lostí” and “aquí te espero” to an audience who sang with desire each word. Whether the crowd was full of unconditional fans, people who cross it seriously or both are not 100%clear. What is clear, however, is that the dominant presence of Cornejo adapted him well at 7 p.m. from the festival. In the years to come, there is an act that can easily be found among the company of soft acts reserved for the theater outdoors.
Although Green Day was considered the headliner, a handful of acts had to occur in other tents, including Rawayana in the Gobi tent. The Venezuelan group weaves elements of reggae, psychedelic, electronics, funk and salsa which are extremely groovy. Rayana’s stage design spoke of an oasis of troubles that melted in the beach sands and was overshadowed by palm trees. The group recently had to cancel all their dates of tour planned in their country of origin due to the country’s political and beef with President Nicolás Maduro. However, they came with an optimistic atmosphere and an atmosphere of festive which was a vice MILD of Miami and a nightclub from the 80s with some of their successes, such as “Nada Malo” “Miel” and “Binikini”.
