The first day of the first Coachella in three years included a German marching band, dance-pop queen Carly Rae Jepsen, singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers and Mongolian folk metal band the Hu.
, and indie singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers played a lovely set of her emotional music.
The band MEUTE performs in the Mojave tent during day one of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio on Friday, April 25, 2022. A few songs later, Styles turned up the energy with a trio of upbeat hits. “We’ve got 12 minutes of non-stop dancing, are you coming with me?” he asked the crowd. “Please say yes.”
“In the car, with my mother as a child, this woman taught me to sing,” Styles said almost reverentially after the song. Bridgers’ set on the Outdoor stage was quieter than many of the acts on Friday, but the devotion of her fans was clear as they leaned into the windy night to hear her sing such songs as “Motion Sickness,” “Kyoto” and “Moon Song.”
The tent overflowed as the sun dipped behind the Santa Rosa Mountains and the band took the stage for a set that went slightly over an hour, which, if you’ve ever seen Arcade Fire at Coachella, was to be expected. When the band ended with the staple “Wake Up,” the performance was nothing short of goosebumps-inducing and the flowing inflatable figures on stage rose again.Anitta is the biggest pop star in her native Brazil and given the size of that country that’s certainly something. But based on her twilight performance on the Main stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival it’s not likely anything can stop her from going wherever she wants in the pop world.
Her music crosses languages – she sings in Portuguese, Spanish and English – and genres: songs skip from pop to funk to Brazilian rhythms to club beats.
