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.

Jay Z – 2010

Jay Z’s performance at Coachella in 2010 was much more notable than it initially appears. Although the festival has been around since 1999, Hov’s marquee appearance was the first time that a hip-hop artist had ever headlined the event.

As expected, he brought the house down, dishing out numerous tracks off his recently released record, The Blueprint 3. Additionally, he even managed to throw some covers into the mix, too, like Kanye West’s “Diamonds From Sierra Leone” and, interestingly, Oasis’ “Wonderwall.” The highlight of the night, however, came during the encore, when Jay Z brought out his wife, Beyonce, for an adorable rendition of the song “Young Forever.”
