Pleased Thursday!

All of us made it through Weekend 1 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival out in Indio and now we're getting ready for Weekend 2!

Unlike previous years, there are still passes available to the 2nd weekend, which will once again be headlined by Bad Bunny on Friday, Blackpink on Saturday and it was originally Frank Ocean set for Sunday, however after a catastrophe of a show throughout Weekend 1, he left due to an injury and was changed by Blink-182, who will now headline on Sunday, April 23.

Prior to we recall at a pretty legendary weekend of music, let's look ahead.

Our crew broke up across the sprawling festival grounds and saw lots of efficiencies on all of the stages and we developed a list of the 25 must-see acts if you're going to Weekend 2. We left off the headliners because you should remain for the phenomenon (particularly Blackpink, that Saturday performance was pure fire).

Coachella Music & & Fans.

Coachella fans were stoked to be back and showed up early to catch a few of their favorite acts. A number of them expressed that it didn't matter who was carrying out, they just wanted to be at Coachella (learn more on that here). Reporters Peter Larsen and Holly Alvarado worked up recaps of a few of the performances they saw on Friday with Bad Bunny headlining; Saturday with Blackpink at the helm; and Sunday, when Frank Ocean provided a less than remarkable and extremely, really late set.

Holly talked with Bad Bunny fans about the Puerto Rican rap artist being the first Latin artist to ever headline Coachella and Peter hit up Blackpink fans about the increase of Asian acts on the Coachella lineups and the all-female group being the very first K-pop act to heading the festival.

Coachella Food, Drinks & & Art.

Press Reporter Richard Guzman had the hardest task of all: He needed to taste all of the food and visit all of the bars on-site. He talked with the festival food and beverage folks about the premium dishes available at the celebration (the garlic Bang Noodles were my individual favorite). Check out his roundup of fast celebration bites and meals prepared by Michelin-starred restaurants here.

There's even a $364.80 farm-to-table sit-down dinner option during the celebration. Is it worth it? Richard informs us here.

He likewise put in the work, searching the fest website to discover the very best bars, that included a non-alcoholic bar pop-up, several lavish lounges and even two hidden speakeasies. Read everything about his bar-hopping experience here (and look for the concealed bars with his ideas).

When he wasn't consuming or consuming, Richard was speaking with the artists behind some of the fest's most renowned on-site pieces, along with the current contributors to the spectacular works put throughout the venue. Read his wrap-up of all of the art and see photos of these larger-than-life pieces here.
