10 of the biggest moments from Coachella 2017
Another weekend filled with unforgettable music moments
Justice redefine what it means to be a modern day rockstar
Though more often than not, Daft Punk are the French duo at the tip of everyone's tongues when it comes to hopeful surprise appearances, much of the past year has been spent in grueling wait with all eyes on a different duo by the name of Justice. After releasing 'Woman' earlier this year to high acclaim, it came as no surprise that the group nabbed a coveted spot on the festival's Outdoor stage (the second largest after the main) on the event's final day.
Confident as ever, the two billowed into a commanding entrance, flitting between 'Safe And Sound', the lead track off their latest album, and the explosive energy of their classic hit 'D.A.N.C.E.'. The group tapped into a level of self-awareness that often artists of their caliber tend to ignore, understanding the fine balance between their audience's hunger for hearing their crowd favorites while still doling out plenty of time to shine light on new tunes from the 'Woman' track list.
With rock acts now noticeably shelved across the Coachella line-up, the calm and collected demeanor only adds to the mystique of Justice's status as today's modern day rock stars... and we couldn't be more proud to crown the honor to them.
