10 of the biggest moments from Coachella 2017
Another weekend filled with unforgettable music moments
Kendrick Lamar performs standouts from 'DAMN.'
Kendrick Lamar was the talk of the weekend, timing the release of his highly anticipated new album 'DAMN.' to drop on the Friday of Coachella's first weekend. Almost a guaranteed soundtrack to more than a handful of roadtrippers headed to the festival all throughout the weekend, Kendrick was given the final slot of the weekend, closing out the Main Stage on Sunday evening.
From the get go, Kendrick was fearless, kicking things off with the Fox News segment heavily sampled in his undeniably political album and sprinkling in ninja-themed clips throughout his performance.
With a crowd flooding as far back as the eye could see, there was a buzzing, electrifying energy throughout the fields as Lamar took the stage. He took his time, patiently testing the crowd and straying from typical show tricks and keeping it simple, save for a few surprise appearances from fellow headliners Future, Schoolboy Q and Travis Scott.
Despite the obvious trailing hope that Rihanna (featured on 'Loyalty' off his album) might show up, Kendrick remained unwavering, dedicated to the simplicity and inherently commanding motifs of his album.
