Coachella Photos: Jenny Lewis Gets Rainbow-Sassy in the Sunshine

April 13, 2015

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has wrapped its weekend one events, with a magnificent run of celebrated performances, surprises, fixture-prop metamorphoses and more. We were thrilled to get to the polo fields on Day Three in time to catch Jenny Lewis on the Outside Stage. Her time was a bit of a demoted slot, given that she played near 10pm a few years ago on the same stage.

Coachella Day One: Action Bronson, AC/DC Rule The Day

Nevertheless, driven by her latest hit “Just One of the Guys” (which opened the set), she rocked in that familiar rainbow attire with a smooth material and stage command as Marina and the Diamonds played the main stage across the way – the first set in a number of strong female-artist showings to dominate the day.

Lewis screamed to the neighboring main stage, “What’s up, Marina?!” She and the Diamonds, if they responded, were drowned out by the cheers around us. Se then baited the crowd with “The Next Messiah” and her former band Rilo Kiley’s “With Arms Outstretched,” even recruiting former bandmate Blake Sennett for a mini-Rilo Kiley reunion on “Portions for Foxes”. It’s a beautiful thing.

Day 2: Jack White, Run The Jewels, Royal Blood & more

Check out our full recap of the Day 3 experience, as well as an exclusive photo gallery below:
