Mac Miller explosive without Ariana Grande, Travis Scott sets fire, missed concert for Radiohead … First day at Coachella 2017
Experience the Coachella experience with melty, which is currently the most popular festival in the US! The concerts of Mac Miller, Travis Scott, Radiohead … It’s all right now!
Under the California sun, everything is allowed, especially when it comes to our first adventure in Coachella . With its survival kit to live the festival thoroughly, the editor of melty was finally ready to go at two-thirty (without counting the endless traffic jams) of Los Angeles to get lost among the hundreds of palm trees in Indio. This is the year that takes place the most Cool festival of the planet: Coachella . So how’s that in real life? Are your favorite celebrities getting into selfie right next to you in incognito mode? Which artists should not be missed in 2017? Coachella in real life from the United States, melty is there at the moment and we tell you the first day ultra intense that ”
First impressive impression from our arrival at Indio: it makes very very very (very) warm. After driving for hours in the traffic jam, retrieving our pass, driving another 30 minutes to the Empire Polo Club, walking 2-3 miles and passing a lot of security gantry, we finally arrive in paradise … Sorry to Coachella. The photos were not misleading, the place is really incredible with its wheel placed at the entrance of the festival, dozens of small tents, modern architecture and especially its already boosted atmosphere. It is as if once the last barriers have passed, festival-goers from all over the world could be themselves. For all those who are music fans like us, Coachella is the ultimate pilgrimage, unrealizable dream, The paradisiacal place par excellence . And with the 2017 programming, despite the last minute cancellation of PNL , our coming was even more exciting!
Once the different scenes of Coachella are appropriate (thanks to the plan especially), one decides to make of input the unique experience proposed this year by HP: The Antarctic. True visual immersion, we see ourselves evolving in extraordinary universes for 3-4 minutes. At least it was done! Disappointed to have missed Sampha (again the fault of the plugs), we console ourselves seeing the time pass that announces the beginning of the concert of Mac Miller . In the middle of the crowd, we take our first American bath between the smoke and the sweat of the hyperactive fans. And thin, we should have put on other sneakers if we had known that the rapper would repeat “Jump” at least twenty times during his live. Taking again his classics “Dang!” , “Congratulations” or “When In Rome” we waited for Mac to bring his girlfriend Ariana Grande to interact with her “My Favorite Part” , but it did not happen … Maybe Justin Bieber or Daft Punk for the Next Coachella guest surprises in the weekend?
Warmed up by the concert, we then headed to the Outdoor Theater to see La Flame. We’re talking about Travis Scott, who is currently exploding in the US (we only hear him, Drake and Kendrick over there on the radio). If the beginning of the concert is laborious (autotune, its not terrible) scenography catches up and the rapper’s usual energy spreads in the burning crowd. Twenty minutes later, we do not get what’s going on, but it gets completely crazy. Taking his hits “90210” , “Mamacita” , “Pick Up The Phone” and the final “Goosebumps” , Travis Scott also allows himself to climb a giant eagle (ridiculous and brilliant) where he takes advantage to impose his ego . Will it be the US rapper mellor in the making? We ask ourselves the question, so it’s a good sign (even if Kendrick Lamar who could release a new surprise album flies very far). Just after, we see the end of the Empire Of The Sun concert, just in time to hear the timeless “Walking On A Dream” and another cool title to finish the set. Too bad to have missed the rest but it is also that Coachella: make difficult choices for concerts . So it’s a good sign (even if Kendrick Lamar who could release a new surprise album flies very far).

The atmosphere gets refreshed, fatigue comes but we find the energy to see the mythical Radiohead on the big stage of the festival. And it is the drama: no sound comes out of the scene. To hear people talk about us, it’s been several times that it happens in a few minutes. Harsh blow: Radiohead will not even be able to sing a song in its entirety for its audience (without realizing it) after full of unpleasant noises coming from the amps. A break is necessary, to better return with a Thom Yorke very captivating. We ended the first day with the cool DRAM and that was the best idea we had! In addition to her charisma, her voice and her grooves, Big Baby is funny on stage. We all liked his set (very short because of a delay): buttocks rebounded scattered on the screens in his way to move up obviously his tube “Broccoli” was the concert we needed To finish the day perfectly. See you tomorrow for our adventures in Coachella! What artists do you dream of seeing at Coachella?
