California’s Coachella festival got back to its turn-of-the-millennium rock roots with a surprise reunion set from Blink-182, delivering a nostalgic headbanging moment hours before Bad Bunny was set to make history. | AFP
The Blink set was the pop-punk group’s first performance with their original lineup in nearly a decade, and had droves of 30-somethings reliving the soundtrack to their youths.
After the set, many rushed to a neighboring tent to catch a blockbuster show from Blondie, who also delivered hits including “Heart of Glass” and “Call Me,” and invited guest Nile Rodgers onstage.But neither rock nor legacy acts dominated Friday’s slate, which featured main stage shows from rappers Pusha T and Doechii, a performance from Nigeria’s Burna Boy and DJ sets from the likes of Nora en Pure and Idris Elba.
This year is the first time Coachella hasn’t booked a white headliner: following Bad Bunny, K-pop superstars Blackpink and the influential but reclusive R&B artist Frank Ocean top the bill at Coachella.
