Coachella, Hoechella and all the artist, celebrity’s and sets in between

As all music festivals go, the increasing amount of people within an area is bound to cause some disruptions Coachella 2017 was no different. Both weekend saw many arrests ,but weekend two had more arrest than weekend one. The main charges were for drugs and alcohol. However, this year saw an increasing spike in cellphone thief's. Indio City law enforcement found nearly 40 cellphones, and weekend one had a thief with almost 100 stolen cellphones. The thief's were caught by iPhone users utilizing the "Find My IPhone" app. There was also a spike within  credit card, cash and other personal possessions  among the Coachella grounds. If someone lost something during the Coachella weekends, all items found by the law enforcement have been turned to the Coachella Lost and Found.

Social Media Muva Dj Khaled initially hinted that he was confirmed for the 2017 line up on his snap back in October of 2016. He hit the Coachella stage on day 3 and of course he brought out his friends to assist him. Dj Khaled set included performances by 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Migos, A$AP Ferg, French Montana, and Wale. The crowd went wild as for any Dj Khaled concert which is always filled with many surprise guest. Khaled played several Jay Z track which sparked the assumption that possibly HOV would perform. For many, Dj Khaled’s set was a bit confusing raising question of how involved he was during his own set. But for any Dj Khaled concert is him playing other artist music and having other artist perform as if he was actually spinning records.  Khaled later took to instagram to thank Coachella for having him and even hinted that possibly he will become a headliner in the Coachella years to come.

The hip Hop heavyweight Kendrick Lamar fresh off his third album DAMN took to the Coachella main stage in his first headlining. His set was nothing less than amazing. Kendrick Lamar’s set was notable the most visually appealing with periods of times he was seen levitating. Lamar’s coachella experiences provided fans with non stop energy and excitement. The California native has reached a point within his career in which all of his three albums have songs that still demand the same response. Lamar brought out Travis Scott to perform their chart tops hit "Goosebumps". Lamar also  brought  out Future for a  brief  intermission to  perform  his song "Mask Off" which has been receiving constant radio play. Following the ending of the Coachella weekneds, Lamar posted on his Instagram the brand new 17 city tour that him and Travis Scott will be on. 

This years Coachella fashion lineup remained true to its festival flowers but other trends shined bright. The newest hair craze of glitter roots served as an enhancement towards   outfit and add an usual sighting. The festival ground were filled with bathrobes and kimonos that left many confused but “hey its Coachella so why not”.    The “hey its coachella so why not” motto didn't stretch throughout ever fashion choice.   Some festival goers were also seen wearing native american headdress, that also left many stunned despite outcries of cultural appropriation. This was mainly seen within the Vip area where the tickets go for $900.00. Is cultural appropriation not a factor to those who are in a seclude section? Would they have still chosen the headdress if they were walking about the entire Coachella camp?. I would think NOT!

The Atlanta based hip hop trio Migo’s was surely the MVP of cocahella. Although, the group didn’t have a scheduled set,they managed to become the rhythmic pulse during the weekend.They appeared on four  different  stages and ever time  illustrated nothing but energy and excitement.   The most famous displays of the power of the Migos music was the viral video of a little boy dancing to their Number one song Bad and Boujee. The video spreader throughout ever social media platform with various memes and gif being created and shared.  After the Coachella festival ended, Migo’s  Offset stated that he wants to meet the little kid went asked if the group would consider staring him in a future music video.  Hopefully Social Media, and the internet world does what it does best and unites Migos and this child with the viral dance moves together.

Kehlani’s cocahella performance was one of the few that displayed a political message. Kehlani’s wore a bodysuit, that stated Find our girls. The infamous hashtag emerged in the wake of the several African American girls that have been gone missing within the DC area. Kehlani’s outfit had the ability to steer the crowds mindset into another direction and remind society that theses girls still haven't been found. Kehanli utilized the Coachella  platform to shed light on a national epidemic despite the its wavering from an all time Twitter hashtag of 2017.
