Rihanna durante la presentación de Calvin Harris en Coachella 2012. Texto: @lgking Coachella es una verdadera fiesta, un gran evento de tres días en el que miles de personas de todo el mundo se reúnen para celebrar la música. El festival se distingue ya que gracias a su importancia y cercanía con Los Ángeles se ha convertido en un evento en el que toda la escena rock de dicha ciudad californiana visita el festival. En realidad, Coachella es una gigantesca fiesta para los integrantes de la comunidad [...]

Daft Punk en Coachella 2006 El festival Coachella es uno de los que provocan más emoción e historias de todo el mundo, además del exorbitante ruido que genera alrededor del cartel, aún semanas antes de ver la luz. Toda esta euforia sólo sucede por una razón: las memorables presentaciones de los artistas que pasan por Indio, California, cada año. Coachella se ha caracterizado por darnos conciertos especiales, conciertos que no podremos ver ni vivir en otro lugar. Algunas son reuniones que creíamos imposibles, otras presentaciones únicos o actuaciones que jamás se habían visto. [...]

I'm just going to throw this out there: " Much like David Guetta , nostalgia is the fucking worst." Actually, scratch that. What's worse is the money-hungry concert promoter who knows he/she can get you to fork over as much dough as possible to see [insert your favorite act from your teenage years who fell the fuck off but needs to pay the bills so hey, let's tour!]. There are very few exceptions to the rule of an older, previously defunct band, group, etc... being able to put on any semblance of a live performance. For example, the Jesus and [...]

The final day of the second weekend of Coachella 2012 wound up in topsy-turvy fashion, with electrifying sets from At the Drive-In (top photo) and Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg (and an array of guests). From her sixth day at the festival (plus a stop for Pulp in between), photographer Debi Del Grande sends a sampling of the action.

With their first Coachella 2012 performances a not-quite-distant memory, over the weekend some artists engaged in live collaborations to make for unique experiences in their second fest go-around. John Fogerty joined the Black Keys , Annie Clark of St. Vincent sang with Andrew Bird, and Thom Yorke came out during Modeselektor's set to perform "Shipwreck." The spine tingling magical moment of the weekend was during Radiohead at the end of "Karma Police" when the crowd continued to sing "I Lost Myself" after the band had stopped. Check out the robust gallery of photos above and [...]

Music lovers reconvened for round two of the 2012 Coachella Music Festival despite the 104-degree heat. Those who braved the elements for Weekend 2, were treated to a polished set by Frank Ocean , a dance party from Afrojack and a sing-along with chart-topper Gotye . While Rihanna and Usher were no-shows this time around, Sia made a guest [...]

Coachella 's experiment in cloning itself seems to have worked. As we headed down the home stretch on the third and final day of the California music festival's second consecutive weekend (which featured the same lineup as the weekend prior), it was clear that there were more than enough fans to support multiple installments of the festival. It was next to impossible to get close up to see The Weeknd 's soulful, seductive afternoon set. So many fans showed up for Gotye that hundreds were left outside [...]
Filed under: News Jason Persse for AOL Heading into the final day of Coachella 2012, one fact hovered over everyone: We already knew about the Tupac Hologram . What surprises could the day hold? The specter of Sunday's guest from beyond the grave seemed to haunt the other bands as well. Wild Flag 's Carrie Brownstein pointed out that the desert head made it "a good day to be a [...]

Weekend 1 of Coachella 2012 closes out with the reunion of At The Drive-In, Fitz and the Tantrums' new track, and even a hologram of Tupac. One word: epic.
We've saved the best for last! As many of you already know, Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre closed off an incredible weekend at Coachella. It was such a big deal that I had to make a separate post for just this set. So many great rappers made guest appearances with the hip-hop legends. The names include, [...]

Going to Weekend 2 of Coachella ? It figures to be quite a bit different than the first weekend, but only because of the predicted high temperatures. Weekend 1 was a breeze — weather-wise, to be sure, but also because the festival was the smoothest-run of the eight that I have attended. Crowds were the opposite of unruly; sets almost always ran on time; negotiating pedestrian traffic on the polo grounds seemed the least hassle-free ever; and the lineup was top-drawer. The small-but-scrappy Buzz Bands LA staff tried to make as many sets as we [...]

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 [...]
