While the headlines centered around surprise appearances from figures including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Childish Gambino, Sky Ferreira, and Paris Hilton, there were 147 other artists actually scheduled to play the annual Coachella festival this year for its first weekend. Many of the best live photographers in the country—including Pooneh Ghana, Ashley Osborn, Charles Reagan, and Quinn Tucker—were holding it down in the photo pits across the sprawling desert festival grounds, documenting all of the happenings from the main stage to the expansive new dance-oriented Quasar stage.
Check out highlights from sets by Lana Del Rey, Tyler, the Creator, No Doubt, Khruangbin, Vampire Weekend, Peso Pluma, Blur, The Last Dinner Party, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Faye Webster, Militarie Gun, Ice Spice, Doja Cat, and many more below—and stay tuned to FLOOD for more from both weekends.
