SZA- Drew Barrymore

It’s Day 1 of Coachella and with so many great artists performing it’s often hard to choose who to see (especially with overlapping set times). Here are my choices for today-

1-1:30pm Señor Kino is on the Sonora Stage

1:45pm-2:35 Elohim is on the Sahara Stage

2:35-3:20pm Moses Sumney is on the Gobi Stage /OR/ 2:55-3:30pm Fazerdaze is on the Sonora Stage

5:00-5:45pm Helado Negro is on the Sonora Stage

6:10-6:55pm The Regrettes are on the Sonora Stage

7:10-8:00pm Vince Staples had one of the best albums of 2017 and is on the Coachella Stage

8:55-9:50pm St. Vincent is at the Outdoor Theatre (and you might catch the end of The War on Drugs’ 7:30-8:25 set)

9:55-10:45pm- SZA, who also had one of the best albums of 2017, is performing on the Coachella Stage

11:25pm The Weeknd is on the Coachella Stage or you could check out Jamiroquai on the Mojave Stage

*One note- this excludes the Yuma tent where there will be a great selection of DJs playing- including at 9:15pm- Detroit Love: Carl Craig, Kyle Hall & Moodymann

Guns N’ Roses- Welcome to The Jungle

This song is from Guns N’ Roses 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction. The band has recently reunited and will be playing Coachella this weekend (4/15/16) and next. Axl Rose’s serpentine moves, however, will not be present for the show. He broke a bone in his foot and will be borrowing Dave Grohl’s throne from his injury for the performances.

Pet Shop Boys- Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)

The Pet Shop Boys, like a few other acts who were big in the 1980’s (Pixies, The Cult, The Replacements), are playing Coachella this year. This song from was on their debut album Please from 1986. This satirical song was meant to be a commentary on the consumerism of the 80’s but feels just as appropriate today.
