The 10 Best Moments of Coachella: Day 1
It's all about the music, man. Well, yes and no. Day 1 of Coachella's first weekend will be remembered as much for the unseasonably cold weather and perpetual threat—and occasional follow-through—of rain as for the artists themselves. Still, under a Palm Springs desert with music blaring everywhere, most soldiered on undeterred, if not a bit shivering. Here are the 10 best moments from Day 1.

1. Tyler, the Creator Joins Frank Ocean: Midway through the Odd Future crooner's first headlining set at the festival, OF frontman Tyler, the Creator hopped on stage and became the most high-profile surprise guest of the night. Tyler performed "Analog 2" before giving Ocean a high five and flying chest bump and promptly leaving the stage.
It was a "Ohhhh s**t" moment, but one of many from Ocean's set, which has upgraded from solo dude with a laptop to 6-piece band with welding masks. "Swim Good," "Thinkin' Bout You" and a cover of Bob Dylan's "Long Time Gone" all were highlights, but the line that predictably received the biggest cheers? "Met her at Coachella," from "Novacane". Naturally.
