Coachella 2024 live: Everything you need to know for day two in the desert

If you’re heading in to the Coachella site today, my colleague Olivia Hebert has rounded up some essential survival tips.

“As someone who has been there and done that, there are certain must-haves and things to avoid that I certainly would’ve benefited from knowing as a first-timer and not-so-seasoned festival attendee,” she writes. “First and foremost, whatever you’re wearing truly doesn’t matter. You will most likely give up on looking somewhat chic by day three, and may resort to wearing an ill-fitting band tee and cutoffs and call it a day.”

Speaking of celebrities, Love Island presenter Maya Jama looked to be having the time of her life at the festival in a series of Instagram stories she posted on Friday. Here’s a peek:

Good morning and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of Saturday at Coachella 2024. We’re still recovering from Lana Del Rey’s epic headline performance last night, so here’s something fun to get us started today: my colleague Brittany Miller has rounded up all the best (and worst) dressed celebs and influencers from this year’s festival so far. Check out the full gallery here:

That’s all for Friday night at Coachella! We’ve had a packed day, with headliner Lana Del Rey capping it all with a wonderful, career-spanning set, a crowd-pleasing cameo from Billie Eilish and a stylish exit the same way she came in – on the back of a motorcycle.

Join us back here tomorrow where we’ll be covering the headline set from Tyler, the Creator, seeing how Britpop survivors Blur go down with an American audience in 2024 and – a personal favourite – looking forward to seeing what the reformed No Doubt have to offer.

There’ll be much more to talk about tomorrow too, but until then we’re off to celebrate like our new favourite boyband Ateez. Cheers!

The rumours were true! Billie Eilish is here to duet with Lana on (Eilish’s) “Ocean Eyes” and (Del Rey’s) “Video Games”.

There had been rumours about Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift, but the first special guest to appear onstage with Lana Del Rey is pianist and composer Jon Batiste. The pair collaborated on “Candy Necklace” from Del Rey’s 2023 album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd andthey perform the slow, seductive ballad together, largely with Del Rey sat atop Batiste’s piano.

Lana Del Rey covered Cali reggae trailblazers Sublime’s “Doin’ Time” on her 2019 album Norman F***ing Rockwell, and it’s fitting that she perform the song live for the first time since that year tonight. Tomorrow, Sublime (with the late Brad Nowell’s son Jakob taking up the mantle) will play this same stage.

One for the Britpop fans: Suki Waterhouse delivered this impressive cover of the 1996 Oasis classic “Don’t Look Back In Anger” earlier tonight:

Lana Del Rey arrived in style for her Coachella headline set tonight – astride the back of a motorcycle, followed by a team of dancers travelling in similar style. She opened by playing “Without You” for the first time since 2014.

Dedicated fans have been camped out all day patiently waiting for the appearance of Ateez, who make history as the first K-pop boy band to ever take the stage at Coachella. Their reception of the Sahara stage is suitably raucous given the history-making occasion:
