Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Starting in 1999 and founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen, Coachella turns 18 this year and is a real classic. 18 years of the biggest and coolest alternative music festival of all. The festival features many music genres including rock, indie, electronic, hip-hop, that’s what I like to call integration. Also, is a huge display of art installations and sculptures.

Radiohead’s back, for good.

The British band is a must when it comes to alternative music, and when it comes to Coachella too. It’s the third time the band headlines the festival, back in 2003 and 2011. The band released “A Moon Shaped Pool”, which is their ninth studio album. The band spent much of 2016 on the road promoting their new album, and Coachella marks their first US date for 2017.

Their last album includes several songs written some years earlier

Dating from 1995 till 2008. It was recorded during two years, starting in 2014 and finishing earlier this year. It’s considered one of the best albums of the year and was claimed by the critics. They have two Grammy’s nominations for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Rock Song.

Beyoncé’s Lemonade.

Bey had an awesome 2016, “Lemonade” is definitely one of the top works of the artist. The sixth studio album made quite a mark not only in music but also in society. The album addresses important society issues in a way only Bey could master. Women empowerment, racism, equity, the beautiful portrayal of these issues made “Lemonade” a masterpiece. She has 9 nominations for the Grammy awards, including Album of The Year.

Now she’s having a great 2017 beginning with the huge news of breaking the ceiling glass for women performers in Coachella. The festival had only been headlined by one woman before, Bjork back in 2001 and again in 2006. So, now Bey is the second woman to headline it.

Way to go Bey!

Kendrick Lamar.

After the release of “Untitled Unmastered,” back in March, the rapper played some dates performing the songs of his album. The album consists of unfinished records from the recording of “To Pimp a Butterfly,” and debuted atop the US Billboard 200.
