I spent 3 days in the desert heat lugging around camera gear to bring you back some shots from Coachella 2012. Do you know how hard it is to party with a backpack full of expensive photography equipment?  It's practically impossible.  While I go see a chiropractor, you can check out the photos in our Facebook album. Read about my 3 days in desert here: Day 1 | Day 2   | Day 3

The warm weather had finally arrived  - and with it the outrageous outfits and beautiful women that Coachella is so well known for.  Sunday's lineup was easily the most stacked, turning my festival experience into a marathon. I arrived at the festival at 2pm just in time to catch Anton Zaslavski, better known as Zedd, attack the Sahara tent with a barrage of complextro remixes. In fact, most of my day was spent camping the Sahara tent, catching Flux Pavillion & Doctor P, Porter Robinson, Dada Life and Calvin Harris [...]

Those lucky enough to go to coachella last weekend have no need for this video because they should have seen, what I'm sure was an incredible show, this live already. For those of you that weren't there, here is some footage of Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar performing their track "The Recipe" live at Coachella. I don't know about all of you, but I have to say I found it a little wack that Dre had to announce Kendrick as some "new talent". It's almost as if he expected no one to know who he was, and if that's the [...]

This year's Coachella did a lot of things well. One of them was the digitization of the footage. Coachella built on last year's streaming abilities and made a huge portion of the festival available online for the less fortunate of us, who couldn't make it out to Indio, California ourselves. It also means that there's a lotttt of Coachella-related stuff to dive into in the week between the two bookending weekends. We took a look at the concerts and came up with the five best performances Coachella had to offer last weekend. Hit "next" or press [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Spinner Says Christopher Polk, Getty Images Short of working some "Jurassic Park" magic and actually resurrecting dead artists, the music industry has a new way to cash in on deceased superstars, thanks to Tupac Shakur 's "performance" at Coachella . Just two days after a projected image of the rapper appeared at the festival alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre , [...]

With the first weekend of Coachella 2012 come and gone, more videos are surfacing of fantastic performances from various artists. We've already seen the likes of Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Radiohead, and more tear up the Coachella stages, and now you can watch full sets from The Black Keys, The Weeknd (his U.S. debut), Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg (featuring guest appearances from Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and a holographic recreation of Tupac), as well as New Jersey indie rock trio Real Estate. Check out all of the full performances after the jump. The [...]

Many media outlets and artists thought Tupac Shakur 's virtual resurrection at Coachella on Sunday was pretty much the coolest thing ever. The Los Angeles Times , however, called the stunt "a red herring, unnecessary and ill advised." Whichever side of the fence you're on, the projection of the deceased rapper may not be a onetime deal, given the amount of coverage the event has received. And according to one report, Shakur's comrades Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre [...]

Everyone's been going on about it the past two days, so here's a clip featuring Tupac Shakur 's hologram from Coachella at the weekend. Once you've seen it you'll understand all the hype, as it's truly astounding - check it out below:

The Tupac hologram that headlined Coachella last weekend may go on tour with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, a source tells the Wall Street Journal. Dre and Snoop are evidently discussing logistics for two "likely ... read more �

Did You Hear? :: After Snoop Dogg Dogg and Dr. Dre performed at Coachella on Sunday, the Doggfather hung out with Ke$ha at Adidas' after-party. We like to imagine an argument erupted over who's more of a fly pimp.

Who: Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on the main stage. In 3 or Fewer Words: All-star show. Memorable Because: There were rumors that Eminem would show up and that turned out to be true. But what most people didn't know is that Dre and Snoop would be raising the dead, exactly one week after Easter. Thrilling and shocking fans, 2Pac made a special appearance. Although just a hologram (but a really solid hologram), all those people out there claiming the rapper had just been in hiding all this time [...]

Coachella raised the dead on Sunday night. On the final day of Weekend 1 of 20122s doubleheader in the desert, a mind-blowing headlining set from Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg — with a host of guests including Eminem — featured a cameo from Tupac Shakur, the seminal rapper who was killed in 1996. His appearance came via a holographic image that alternately thrilled and freaked out a massive crowd high on historic hip-hop, and its accompanying aromas. The careers of two long-silent rock bands may have been resurrected on Sunday, too — At the Drive-In's [...]

Obviously, the defining moment of the first weekend of Coachella 2012 was seeing Tupac Shakur raised from the dead . The incredibly life-like hologram of the dearly departed rapper (who was shot to death in 1996) appeared halfway through Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre 's all-star, jam-packed headlining set , stealing the thunder of pretty much everyone else on that stage. (That's no easy feat, mind you.) But 2Pac's jaw-dropping materialization wasn't the only memorable moment from Sunday's events - head below to find out who else turned the Polo Fields [...]

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg closed down Coachella 2012 with a sprawling set that spanned throwback G-funk, all-time gangsta classics (thanks to that 2Pac hologram ), stoner anthems (thanks to Wiz Khalifa and a blunt big enough to mellow out a rhinoceros) and new jams (like "The Recipe" with Compton's own Kendrick Lamar ). Eminem and 50 Cent showed up too, probably ranking the performance as the [...]

Wrapping up the first weekend of this year's Coachella festivities, Snoop & Dre's performance last night has already garnered buzz has as one of the most impressive of the last few days - including appearances from the impressive cast of Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, and of course the hologram of Tupac . Catch up with the full set - part 1 above part 2 at the jump . [via]

Those "Tupac is alive" rumors just got a whole lot more relevant — and way more creepy. That talked-about hologram of Nate Dogg never surfaced, but late rapper Tupac Shakur , who was (allegedly?) gunned down in Las Vegas in September 1996, was projected during Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre 's set at Coachella last night in the Indio, California desert. Pac spit out his Don Killuminati hit "Hail Mary" solo before pairing up [...]
