Franz ferdinand band illuminati1/1/2024 Italian DJ/Producer Benny Benassi drew one of the biggest crowds of the day at the Sahara Tent. ![]() When lead singer Gordon Gano sung about teenage frustration and twentysomething male desire, you can still feel it and resonate with it just as you would have when it was first released in April 1983. Newly reunited Wisconsin alt rockers Violent Femmes – Gordon Gano, Victor DeLorenzo and Brian Ritchie – treated the Coachella Stage to their first performance in nearly six years which featured a 56 minute performance of their critically acclaimed 1983 debut self-titled album in its entirety, which reminds us why the album was so timeless to begin with. ![]() He frequently walked across the stage to ensure everybody had a full glass of wine. Maynard seemed very open and talkative compared to his previous Coachella appearance with Tool in 2006.

Their 11-song set opened with an acoustic rendition of The Circle Jerks classic “World Up My Ass,” along with “DoZo” from their 2007 debut album “V” Is for Vagina and “Toma” from 2011’s Conditions of My Parole. Maynard wore an outrageous blond mullet wig along with a moustache, which appeared to be inspired by Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” music video, and he asked the crowd “who’s on drugs?” and after receiving a roaring response, he went on to point out that “its a fact” that people on ACID “require salt and sugar.” ![]() The Outdoor Theatre transformed into a trailer park for Tool’s Maynard Keenan’s side-project Puscifer. Critics lauded his Mercury Prized-nominated 2011 debut album Every Kingdom as being “impressively timeless” and being a “self-assured debut,” and Howard bathed the crowd in his lush folk orchestrations in the scorching desert heat. The band not only threw water by the case to help the crowd cope with the heat, they threw cans of beer as well.ĭJ Baauer performed at 3pm in the Sahara Tent and he made his best attempt at avoiding his viral hit “Harlem shake.” Baauer teased the mega crowd throughout his 55-minute set, and it was only after Baauer had left the stage the crowd began to roar “”Harlem Shake! Harlem Shake!” Baauer then reappeared to satisfy the hoards that likely just came to hear that song and he played the riff that gave birth to a million imitations.Įnglish singer/songwriter Ben Howard provided a much slower and relaxed pace to the Outdoor Theater. Frontman Lee Spielman paused only briefly a handful of times and still managed to jolt the crowd into a frenzy as he spent most of the set moshing and crowd surfing with the fans rather than on the stage itself. They amplified their hardcore California style instead of being hindered by the intense heat. Trash Talk was next on the Outdoor Theater. Cook made use of not only the stage, but on the ground both in front of and behind the barrier usually used to keep screaming fans at bay, which provided the crowd with an up-close and personal view of a very promising artist. Cook presented the crowd with a furious and energetic blues-meets-garage rock set that rivaled any other performance that weekend, not forgetting that this set occurred at mid day in the hot desert sun. Saskatoon native Jordan Cook (AKA Reignwolf) took the stage at the Outdoor Theatre just after noon. Perhaps at this point we’ve taken for granted when acts at Coachella push the limits and use the opportunity to impress the crowd. ![]() Saturday began slowly at the Sahara tent with Been Trill, who was more interested in checking their cell phones than producing an entertaining show for the albeit small crowd.
