The 10 Best Moments of Coachella: Day 3
We've already told you about the two biggest events of Sunday night at Coachella: Dr. Dre and Snoop's hologram-filled set and The Weeknd's debut U.S. performance. But there was much, much more. Here are 10 other moments that defined the festival's final day.
1. Calvin Harris' Surprise Guest: The Scottish DJ was midway through his set at Sahara Tent when Rihanna popped out from behind the speakers to perform the Harris-produced "Where Have You Been" and "We Found Love" from the singer's 2011 album Talk That Talk. The crowd did exactly what you'd expect when one of the world's biggest singers pops up unannounced.
2. The Hives' Stage Banter, Part 1: The Swedish garage rock band's lead singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist relishes his tongue-in-cheek role as rock and roll overlord. "Seeing as we're not the starter, which is the first band, or the dessert, which is the last band, the main course must be The Hives!" Sound logic.
3. At the Drive-In's Blistering Set: The reunited post-hardcore pioneers turned in one of the best sets of the festival, utilizing virtually every inch of the Main Stage. Frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala kicked mic stands, leapt into the photo pit, shouted out Peter Saarsgard and Peter Dinklage and made left-field proclamations between songs ("Urban Outfitters is the law school of youth culture!") Oh yeah, they also tore through "Arcarsenal," "Sleepwalk Capsules" and set closer "One Armed Scissor," among others, to a devoted crowd.
