As expected, they saved the best for (almost) last. Ahead of Frank Ocean's headlining set later this evening (April 16), Kali Uchis gave one of her best performances to date on the Coachella mainstage with thousands of patrons watching on. While fans surely would've been satisfied with just the bilingual songstress and her ethereal vocals, she didn't disappoint with her roster of surprise appearances, which included "See You Again" collaborator Tyler, the Creator.
After satisfying hip-hop heads with the deluxe cut of his CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST album last month, the Californian brought plenty of energy to his performance. Their 2017 joint effort is the most-streamed title from Tyler's Flower Boy project, and they've since worked together on "After The Storm" with Bootsy Collins. The Coachella crowd was obviously pleased with that, but little did they know, more was in store from Uchis.

Omar Apollo was on deck to sing "Worth the Wait" with his friend shortly after the Creator left. The song appears on Uchis' Red Moon in Venus album, which arrived in the first few days of March. Elsewhere on the 15-track effort she linked up with her boyfriend, Don Toliver, on "Fantasy." The couple showed off their strong chemistry during the 28-year-old's Coachella set, crooning the lyrics to their second joint release of 2023 so far. Other tracks the Virginia-born vocalist sang this weekend include "Moonlight," "Papi Chulo," and "Tattoo."
Our first weekend in the desert has nearly come to a close, but it hasn't been without its share of surprises. Kendall Jenner was spotted dancing in the crowd during Bad Bunny's headlining concert, and Metro Boomin impressed attendees with a healthy list of guests. Among them was The Weeknd, who previewed new music – potentially from his upcoming HBO series, The Idol – while supporting his producer pal.
