Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival kicks off today at Empire Polo Field in Indio, California. The West Coast’s largest music festival began as a one day event and is now a three-day festival that occurs over two consecutive weeks.
Here are eight must-see events at Coachella 2015:
Drake
Drake will close out the festival on Sunday as one of the top headliners. It’s highly likely that Drake will bring out a slew of guests such as Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and maybe Kanye.
Questlove
Questlove will DJ at several events during the weekend. He will be the headlining act at parties sponsored by Heinken and T-Mobile.
The Weeknd
The Weeknd will serenade with songs from his seductive albums Trilogy, Kiss Land, House of Balloons, and Thursday. He takes the stage on Saturday evening.
Azaliea Banks
Hip-hop’s most controversial tweeter will take the stage on Friday to give festivalgoers music from her debut, Broke With Expensive Taste.
Raekwon and Ghostface Killah
The Wu-Tang-Clan emcees will take the stage on Friday evening to bring the essence of real hip-hop the festival.
Run The Jewels
RTJ released the best album of 2014. But for anyone who has witnessed the duo of Killer Mike and El-P in concert, it’s clear that their music is enjoyed best in a live setting. They perform Saturday.
Nylon parties
NYLON will host two unofficial parties during Coachella. Nylon Presents Midnight Garden on Friday will feature Sky Ferreira along with DJ sets by Chelsea Leyland, Mia Moretti and The Misshapes. The Sunday Funday event at The Nylon House in Bermuda Dunes will feature Yoga, Juice Bar, Vitamin IVs and a gifting suite.
Neon Carnival
The Neon Carnival returns for its sixth year and will feature a dance party, amusement park rides, games, and other festivities.
