The band took to the Outdoor Theatre in an early-evening slot. Tyla, The Marias, Parcels and The Martinez Brothers & Loco Dice will be playing the same stage later. Lady Gaga is the headliner for the night, set to perform over at the Main Stage along with Thee Sacred Souls, Marina, Benson Boone and Missy Elliott.
In other Coachella news, Weezer and Ed Sheeran have been added to the lineup in place of FKA Twigs with Weezer appearing the first weekend and Sheeran performing the second weekend. FKA Twigs had to cancel her appearance at Coachella along with the remaining North American tour dates on her April roster due to ongoing visa issues.
As always, special guests, live debuts and much more can be expected from the festival, up and down the bill from top industry talent to rising artists.
