The 10 Best Coachella Performances Of All-Time

Every year, Coachella seems to do something new and different that propels its status of “America’s Greatest Music Festival” to an even higher level than ever before. It has had its fair share of shockers, surprises and highlights since its inception back in 1999, but the real reason why everyone treks out into the middle of the California desert is because of the abundance of musical performances - and maybe to have an excuse to wear one of those flower crowns, too.

2 Chainz And Fall Out Boy – 2013

2013 NBA All-Star Concert and Performances

Just a few months before Coachella 2013, highly influential pop-rock band Fall Out Boy announced that they’d be rising from the ashes to release a new record. The first single we got from this new revitalized Fall Out Boy was the fiery hit single, “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up),” and the best part about it was that it came with a remix featuring rapper 2 Chainz.

In the most unlikely of collaborations, it was kind of an incredible song, so it was an awesome surprise when he decided to bring the band out during his set at Coachell to perform it a few years back. Since then, both 2 Chainz and Fall Out Boy have been better than ever.

The Weeknd – 2015

If anyone wasn’t completely sold on The Weeknd, they sure as hell were after he commanded the main stage with ease at Coachella in 2015. He’d probably be the biggest act on the bill if he were to play at 2017’s festival, but his set back then found him relying on tracks like Drake’s “Crew Love” and Ariana Grande’s “Love Me Harder.”

His pitch perfect vocals prevailed throughout, and he capped off the night with his largest hit at that point – “Earned It.” His Coachella appearance pre-dated the release of “The Hills” and “Can’t Feel My Face” by only a couple of weeks, so really, this was one of the last shows before Abel Tesfaye turned into an overnight household name.
