As the anticipation for this year’s Coachella festival builds, many Southern Californians are reflecting on the iconic moments from the festival’s past. Ten years ago, Coachella 2015 delivered unforgettable performances and surprising celebrity interactions that still resonate with fans today.
Headlining on Friday night, legendary rock band AC/DC thrilled the audience with their first performance in six years, delivering a set that left festival-goers buzzing. The evening took an unexpected turn when pop icon Madonna joined rapper Drake on stage, planting a memorable kiss on him that sent shockwaves through the crowd and sparked widespread discussion on social media.
However, not all moments were smooth sailing. Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine experienced a harrowing setback during her performance when she broke her foot after leaping off the stage, a poignant reminder of the physical demands of live music.
Beyond the music, Coachella 2015 also showcased an array of celebrity fashion that defined the decade. Kendall Jenner exemplified the boho chic style of the era, while her sister, Kylie Jenner, made waves with her striking electric blue hair, marking her emergence into her “King Kylie” phase. The festival grounds were abuzz with celebrity sightings, including a young Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, who were seen together before officially dating the following year.
From powerhouse performances to standout fashion moments, Coachella 2015 remains a highlight in the festival’s rich history. As the festival approaches once again, fans eagerly anticipate what new memories will be created in the desert, while also cherishing the iconic moments that have shaped its legacy.
