Three days of Coachella euphoria We didn't see Frank Ocean, but Zendaya made a surprise appearance

Boasting itself as the most internationally diverse music festival, Coachella continues to use its festival grounds as congregational space for music lovers from around the world to enjoy more performances in one weekend than the typical person would probably see in a lifetime. Packed into three days, - six if you bravely attend both weekends - attendees get the chance to indulge in their favorite music artists while discovering new ones along the way. While Coachella is split into two separate weekends in April, both weekends typically consist of the same performing music artists, with the exception of a few surprise guests. There also tend to be slight differences in the outcome of both the crowd and performing music artists on both weekends. This year in particular, the most notable difference was Frank Ocean’s absence from Weekend 2 due to a physical injury incurred on the festival grounds during Weekend 1, where he performed until he couldn’t any longer. 

The introduction of Greenhouse to Coachella is an excellent example of real steps toward proper representation within music spaces. It is to continue leveling out an equal playing field so all artists have the opportunity to book well-renowned venues and receive fair pay based on talent. Music is one of the most impactful forms of expression and communication there is. Showcasing uniquely curated acts performed by more than 150 hyper-talented individuals of vastly different life experiences (sometimes beyond comprehension), who all have a specially crafted relationship with their music, within the same 600 acres and all within 72 hours is what creates those larger than life experiences along with those small, touching, and truly intimate memories shared between the music and self.
