The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a leading light among American music festivals. Launched in 1999, it set the bar for events of this type. Since then, Coachella has drawn the cream of the music crop. More Latin and electronic dance artists or DJs comprised this year’s lineup than ever before.

Weekend 2 of the 2023 edition was toplined by Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK

Blink-182, a last-minute addition the prior weekend, replaced Frank Ocean who cancelled due to injury on the Coachella Stage. Skrillex, Four Tet and Fred Again closed everything out with a late-night DJ set.
