The 7 Best Coachella Performers From Weekend 2

It's the weekend that everyone has been waiting for. Coachella weekend 2. And it was just as lit as the first weekend, if not better.

On the first day of Coachella weekend 2, high winds left the camping feature unable to be used by attendees until one day after Coachella (Saturday) and the less than disheartened campers started dubbing it Walmartchella (due to having to go to Walmart to buy tents so they wouldn't have to sleep in their cars.)

1. The Weeknd

Weeknd 2 did not disappoint (see what I did there?) The Weeknd put on an incredible show filled with excitement and energy. Fans are dubbing his show during Weekend 2 the best, because you could tell in person that he was having fun and really enjoying himself rather than just putting on a show.

Here is the very beginning of his iconic performance with his recent hit, "Pray for Me" with Kendrick Lamar.

2. Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande came out during Kygo's set to perform her new single for the first time called "No Tears Left to Cry." She posted on her Instagram earlier that day, saying that she would be performing but fans didn't know when.

3. Post Malone

Fun fact: It is so much harder to find Weekend 2 Coachella performances because they were not live-streamed, due to the first weekend being streamed.

One thing that didn't change Weekend 2: Post Malone was still crossfaded. Big Shocker.

4. Chance the Rapper

A big surprise for the audience this year at Chella: the one and only Chance. He performed only for a few moments, but this was enough for the Chance lovers out there to be blessed.

5. Alt - J

This year was the band's first appearance at the famous music festival in Indio, CA. They played their alternative hits ranging from Breezeblocks to Tessellate. There is a good shot that they will be invited back for Coachella 2019 because they brought in such a crowd.

This is a crowd favorite, having been out for a few years.

6. Beyoncé

Oops, she did it again. She brought out Destiny's Child for another reunion to perform one of her most popular songs "Run the World."

7. Eminem

Eminem closed the house down when he had Bebe Rexha join him for the debut of their song "The Monster." In the video it is clear that it was pure electric when they sang this song in public for the first time.

Eminem brought out Dr. Dre again for his song, "Still Dre." It's hard to follow a night full of Queen B, but Eminem did his best and put on a great show to close out 'Chella 2018.

So there ya have it. A review of the last weekend of Coachella 2018. It's heartbreaking that it's over, but this year proved that Coachella can only go up from here following amazing performances from upcoming artists and the Queen herself.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
