Skepta makes up for lost time with a commanding afternoon performance, one year later

It's been a long wait for Skepta's Coachella fans. The grime don was originally slated to perform at the festival in 2016, but ran into last minute visa issues that forced him to cancel not only Coachella, but a string of other North American performances that he promised to make up, eventually.

2017 became the year when he was subtly added to the revised line-up at the same time as Lady Gaga. Despite an early 3PM set time and the beating rays of the desert sun, he lured in a massive crowd to the Sahara tent as he ran through crowd favorites off his most recent album like 'That's Not Me', 'Shutdown' and 'It Ain't Safe'. Of course, he had to represent London proudly and did so by bringing a signature red telephone booth to the stage.
