Anna Lunoe debuts in the Sahara and shares a big announcement

For more than a few reasons, Sunday of Coachella marked an exciting milestone for Australia's Anna Lunoe, who performed in the electronic dominant Sahara Tent. Just last year, she became the first female to ever headline EDC Las Vegas and was invited to bring her talents as a producer, DJ and - surprise! - also a vocalist to the stage at Coachella this year.

But before her performance, she took to social media to make a shocking and exciting announcement about her pregnancy ("two Lunoes for the price of one all summer!"), which she admitted had been tough to keep a secret until then. Adding that element of emotions, Anna was joined by OWSLA head Skrillex during her performance and also debuted live vocals, singing her track 'Godzilla' and more.

Porter Robinson and Madeon light up the main stage with their final performance

Individually each an outstanding act on their own, early in 2016, Porter Robinson and Madeon decided to come together for a once-in-a-lifetime collaborative project inspired by their track 'Shelter'. Taking their talents on tour, the two designed and produced a show specifically tailored for them to perform together throughout much of last year and announced that their final show would take place at Coachella.

It's a big statement for an electronic music artist to take a Main Stage slot; only few champions have done it before like Calvin Harris, Kaskade and Major Lazer. Starting off just as the desert sun began to set, Porter and Madeon graced the stage humbly and kicked off straight into their most beloved hits, slowly escalating to a darker, more electro-inspired portion of their set, accented by their vocals and live elements all throughout.

Though their official final performance won't happen until this upcoming weekend's show, it was impossible to deny that it was a special moment shared by all watching and especially for the two young superstars on stage.
