🤷🏻‍♂️ it wasn’t all this bad - see my “best of” reel.

I’m not a Justin Bieber hater. Never got on board with the early stuff but by the mid-2010s I was digging several of his singles. (Still an eyesore on the Coachella poster for me.) The best parts of his set were when he actually performed newer songs from the SWAG albums - wish he would have stuck with that for the older stuff as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad I decided to catch David Byrne at Coachella again despite already seeing him there in 2018. This was a great performance! Here’s a little of “Houses in Motion” and “Life During Wartime”.

David Byrne of Talking Heads performing their classic “Psycho Killer” at Coachella. The last time I saw him was on this very stage in 2018 and I don’t think he did this song! More to come.

David Byrne and his band performing one of my favorite Talking Heads songs (“And She Was”) at Coachella! I enjoyed this much more than expected. More to come from this set and the rest of my fifteenth year attending.

After witnessing the incredible Nine Inch Noize performance in the Sahara at Coachella this year, I wanted to catch Boys Noize in the Yuma later that evening. So between the Strokes and David Byrne I made a quick visit to my favorite “nightclub” in the world. After the 15-20 min stroll through the winding queue I found myself once again immersed in one of the most intoxicating environments I’ve ever come to experience. It would be easy to spend hours in here if there wasn’t so much going on outside! Boys Noize was not really playing the sort of material I was expecting from him but clearly I don’t know enough about what he does. Much more high-BPM techno, I guess you would say, than the slower and more darkwave/goth vibes on the Peel It Back tour. Still cool! More to come from the rest of Saturday (plus Sunday) at my fifteenth year attending the festival.

Ended up posting pretty much every clip I took of Nine Inch Noize at Coachella 😅 that’s me. Here’s “Closer” to wrap it up. Follow me for more footage - I still have the rest of Saturday + Sunday to share 😅

Oops, more NIN at Coachella. It was just that good. (And these clips are helping me realize that.) Follow for more from my fifteenth year attending!
