Easily the most talked about performance from the weekend and a history making one at that, Beyoncé lit the festival on fire with her elaborate Saturday night set which featured a legion of dancers, a Destiny's Child reunion and a cameo from her husband Jay-Z.

No Livestream For Eminem

Em is notorious for not letting festival's livestream his sets but people still lost their mind's over not being able to watch the Sunday night set from the comfort of their homes.

Nevertheless, the rapper pulled out a heck of a performance, curating a Aftermath reunion by welcoming Dr Dre and 50 Cent on stage with him. 

According to Variety, he even had his hype man, Mr Porter, read mean tweets about the rap star during the set. Hey, Em, what ever works for you.

DREAMS LEAP INTO REALITY

 

After becoming the first ever act to be booked for Coachella without having released any music, DREAMS, the collaboration between Luke Steele and Daniel Johns had its live debut over the weekend.

With a set that included trippy visuals, bejeweled parachute pants and the pair's first two singles Silence and No One Will Defeat Us, things are looking good for when the duo bring their show Down Under for VIVID Sydney next month.

Bey might have postponed her Coachella set last year because of pregnancy but that wasn't an option for NYC rapper Cardi B. The rapper's half-hour set squeezed in a huge amount of guests including Chance The Rapper, 21 Savage, G-Eazy and Kehlani.

Forever a wallflower, Bieber was a feature throughout the whole weekend, whether he was leading a City church event, taking pictures with viral meme stars or allegedly getting into a punch-up at an afterparty as TMZ reported, he definitely left a presence. He also gifted us with this video of him trying to get people to dance with him.
