The second weekend feel like it ’s less about being seen and more about experiencing the art and euphony .
If you didn’t know, Coachella Music and Arts Festival takes place over two different weekends.
Aside from the separate dates, there’s very little difference between theCoachellaweekends. For the most part, each weekend benefits from the same perks.
One of the best perks is the people, aka the festies (I really hate that word), who show up in their most impressive outfits each day to enjoy the endless amounts of music, food, and art.
I can’t forget the delicious food and drinks. Every type of food you can think of is present throughout the festival from local vendors, restaurants, and breweries.
And then there’s the artwork, because it’s an arts festival after all — like these giant colorful dudes I kept calling “rainbow transformers.”
But as someone who faithfully attends weekend two, here’s why Coachella’s second weekend is better than the first:
1.Coachella’s first weekend was obviously more popular, but that also meant it was overcrowded and the tickets were completely sold out.
2.There are fewerinfluencersand more people who are fans of the music and not just paid photo ops or group selfies.
3.Debbie Harryof Blondie was joined by legendary record producer, guitarist, and composer Nile Rodgers to perform “Rapture” and “Backfired.”
Nile , responsible for slews of hit over the ten , also performed at Coachella in 2018 with Chic .
4.Kaytranadaprobably had one of the best series of guest stars, bringing out H.E.R., Tinashe, and Anderson .Paak.
5.The production worked out most of the kinks. The first weekend is known forawkward mishapslike no sound, bad lighting, or last-minute changes.
Bad Bunny and Post Malone experience audio difficulties at # Coachella .
Fortunately , weekend two has enough time to look at what worked and what did n’t the first fourth dimension and make allowance . The set times make more sense . Everyone is more preemptive about heavy quality and knows what change are necessary for an uninterrupted operation .
6.Bad Bunnybrought back the famous floating palm tree 🌴 from his tour and flew directly into the middle of the audience.
When unsound bunny rabbit brings back the palm tree diagram and flies instantly over you . Weekend 2 has been a vibe.#badbunny#coachella#badchella
7.In the middle of his performance, Bad Bunny walked into the audience, where he ran toward this woman and blessed her baby while “Ojitos Lindos” played in the background.

8.Blink-182 reunited with the original three (Tom DeLonge,Travis Barker, and Mark Hoppus) for an explosive pop-punk performance after the original headlinerFrank Oceandropped outdue to an ankle injury.
9.Tom DeLonge brought back millennial memories when he switched up the “First Date” lyrics, saying, “I’m going to fuck every dude in the room” instead of “I’m jealous of everybody in the room.”
i do n’t remember these being the lyrics 🤔 🤔 # blink182 # COACHELLA2023
10.After weekend one’s visual mishapdissingHarry Styles,Bad Bunnycreated a wholesome moment andapologizedto the Grammy Album of the Year singer. “Sorry, Harry. It was a mistake from my team. We love you. <3,” the new tweet read.
11.Bad Bunny brought out the Mexican music ensemble Groupo Frontera and performed “La Cancíon” and “Yonaguni” with legendary guitarist José Feliciano — a moment in the weekend one performance withPost Malonethat was cut short due tosound issues.

16.And finally,Skrillex, Four Tet, and Fred again… closed out the festival on Sunday with a historical “broiler room” performance utilizing the leftover ice skating rink/satellite stage initially built for Frank Ocean’s set.
@Skrillex @FourTet @fredagainagain1 really saved the solar day with this faux kettle room set . I ’m beaming I nibble wkd two .
The last - minute switch - up came in clasp for many of the festival attendees who were already there to seeCalvin Harris , Chris Lake , and Fisher , who were booked prior to Frank Ocean dropping .
