Our Favorites in the Desert - Coachella is among us again. The music festival in California gives our favorite artists the time to flex their artistic prowess in the California desert. In the past, artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have received top billing. While bands like OutKast have reunited. Oh, yeah, and don’t forget that Tupac’s hologram made its debut at the 2012 festival. Coachella is built for great moments and WTF moments as well. So far, we got weekend 1 in the bag. Who performed? And did it fare well? —Jon Reyes (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella)
