It’s pretty simple why you can’t afford to miss BROCKHAMPTON’s show because you will literally never get another chance again. The hip-hop group announced on their Instagram that the Coachella shows would be the final performances for the band as they will take an indefinite hiatus after eight years together. Numerous times members in the group have stated that this is 100% the end, so if you don’t catch them now, you will never get the chance. But aside from that, BROCKHAMPTON delivers one of the most outrageous and best hip-hop experiences that Coachella 2022 offers on the lineup.

He’s one of the headliners for a reason. Styles delivers a masterpiece of a performance that not everybody is capable of presenting. With his larger-than-life persona, the “Sign of the Times” singer fills the incredibly high expectations that come with his Friday closing slot and goes beyond that. Styles’ show includes a highly energetic, dance-oriented and remarkable vocal showcase for the entire 80 minutes filled with special guests, magnificent outfits and Styles’ iconic dance moves. Make sure you have your popcorn and dancing shoes ready as there is never a dull moment while the man from Redditch is on stage.

Many would say that this could easily be considered the best set of weekend one, and there would be nothing wrong with that statement. The French producer is holding no punches as he brings his Good Faith Forever production to the desert for another round. After watching this show in its entirety on the live stream last weekend, its no question that this is a career-defining moment for Madeon. It’s no secret that this is a moment he has dreamed of for years and is now finally getting to put his mark on the iconic festival. Between the beautiful mix of music and visuals that will transport you into another world, what Madeon is providing at Coachella 2022 goes way beyond just a normal electronic music set. It is an experience that nobody will forget.
3. Doja Cat

Coming fresh off her first-ever Grammy win, Doja Cat stole the show on Sunday last weekend. Arguably bringing the best all-around show experience of Coachella, she shows why her name continues to rise to the top festival lineups. Every minute of her performance is choreographed and features numerous costume changes. It’s easy to tell that Doja Cat puts a ton of thought and practice into her shows, and as usual, it pays off in the biggest way possible. Like Styles, there is never a down moment in her set, and with one of the funniest personalities in the music industry, you’ll kick yourself if you miss out on one of the best all-around performers currently in music.
(P.S. You almost HAVE to go and support the woman who single handily brought back the Taco Bell Mexican pizza, right?)

You should never miss the opportunity to be a part of history, and that is exactly what you will get at Billie Eilish’s Saturday headlining set. When Eilish takes the Coachella 2022 stage for weekend two, she will be doing so as the youngest headliner in the festival’s history. With the immaculate list of acts that Coachella has hosted throughout its tenure, that is quite the honor. With that comes a ton of pressure. But as the talented professional that she is, Eilish shows why she is worthy of owning that title. This set will leave you with goosebumps up and down your body from start to finish. Eilish comes locked and loaded with one of the most popular discographies currently in music as she delivers hit after hit that will have you singing at the top of your lungs. Eilish will leave you speechless as she dominates one of the most sought-after stages in music. These are just a few of the many reasons why you need to be at the Coachella stage on Saturday night. Not to mention, the ending of her set is out of this world.
1. Swedish House Mafia x The Weeknd

To say it is impressive what Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd were able to pull off last Sunday with just a few short weeks of knowing they would be sharing the stage is selling their efforts short. It was nothing short of spectacular. This set embodies what Coachella is all about. Get ready for an all-time historic show as the electronic giants go back to back with one of the most popular artists in the world. Swedish House Mafia starts the performance out with an earth-shattering mix between their greatest hits and tracks off their newest album, ‘Paradise Again’ while The Weeknd takes the stage after to make a statement to the world that he belongs in the conversation as one of the greatest entertainers currently in the industry. You may never get to see a joint performance like this again, so don’t let this opportunity go to waste.
