Coachella just completed its first weekend but there’s been mixed opinions about the festival
The world’s largest festival welcomed over 250,000 individuals and featured A-listers including Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat and more.
General admission fees start upward of $449 USD, so some attendees were disappointed by last-minute cancellations and unfair management by Coachella organisers.
if u didn’t know an iPad Pro is the same price if not more expensive than Coachella tickets
i’m like genuinely so sad. i’m not mad at joji for putting his health first (i’m actually so glad he did) but i’m fully mad at coachella for promoting the show with clips to not show it/not notify fans that it was cancelled and won’t be broadcasted
The Weekend and Swedish House Mafia took over Kanye’s headlining act
Coachella attendees acknowledged the quick replacement for Kanye’s set.
After running 30 minutes late Swedish House Mafia took to the stage first performing EDM and techno tunes.
Soon after The Weekend (Abel Tesfaye) joined them on stage and performed hits including Blinding Lights, a top 10 Billboard hit for 57 consecutive weeks.

The Weekend gave a nod to West and sung the verse he did on the rapper’s single “Hurricane.”
Unlike other Coachella performances spruced with a band, dancers and special effects this one was stripped back to the Swedish House Mafia DJ set and The Weeknd on vocals.
The set had one of the largest attendance of the festival and was considered rather experimental.

Rising star, Jerry Harris has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for child sexual abuse image charges
Jerry Harris from hit Netflix show, ‘Cheer’, has pleaded guilty to to the crimes of coercing teenage boys to send him obscene photos and videos.
In the Federal Court in Chicago, prosecutors say the 22-year-old’s celebrity status enabled him to “persuade and entice” his young victims to engage in sexual conduct.
The cheer star was arrested in 2020 for production of child pornography and has since been in custody in Chicago for almost two years while awaiting trial and sentencing.
Prosecutors allege at the time of his arrest, Harris solicited sex from minors at cheerleading competitions.
He also allegedly solicited photos and videos from two 14-year-old brothers, after a complaint was filed.
A few months after his 2020 arrest, Harris was indicted on more charges in Florida and Texas alleging misconduct.
Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to one count of receiving child pornography and travelling with the intention to engage in illegal sexual conduct.
