The first weekend of Coachella was an impressive affair, featuring an astonishing performance from Beyoncé and star-studded show from Eminem.

Another guest heavy performance came from the currently pregnant Cardi B, who recently released her acclaimed debut album Invasion of Privacy.

Those to appear alongside the rapper included Chance The Rapper (“Best Life”), 21 Savage (“Bartier Cardi”), Khlani (“Ring”), and G-Eazy (“No Limit”). Watch snippets from the show below.

Cardi B recently broke Taylor Swift’s record for most streamed album during its first week on Apple Music, amassing more than 100 million streams in seven days.

Meanwhile, Eminem was joined by 50 Cent and Dr. Dre during his headline set at Coachella, performing hits such as “Patiently Waiting”, “Still Dre”, and “Forgot About Dre”. Watch snippets from the performance here.

Unlike the other headliners, Eminem’s performance was not live-streamed onto YouTube leading to some very disgruntled fans.

On Saturday night, Beyoncé headlined the festival, making for an historic moment that received resoundingly positive reviews.

The first weekend of Coachella has come to an end – the performers return next week for another set of shows.
