The opening week of Coachella might have been explosive, but the second week is arguably better.

According to Datebook, the highly anticipated music and arts festival saw performances from some of the biggest and hottest artists this year including Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, Rosalia, Clavin Harris, Blink-182, Gorillaz, Chemical Brothers, and more.

Frank Ocean was supposed to headline the music festival for a second time, but after the ice skating fiasco and the audience walking out on him, he was pulled from the lineup and replaced.

Despite the hiccup, Coachella managed to bounce back and deliver one of the craziest and most exciting shows.

Bad Bunny's Apology

During the first week, a shady tweet was flashed on the screen while Bad Bunny was performing. It read: "Goodnight Benito could do 'As It Was' but Harry could never do 'El Apagaon'."

The tweet is referring to Harry Styles, the singer of "As It Was," and apparently, it was the Puerto Rican rapper's team who added the tweet, and it was not approved by the rapper.

To make amends with Styles and his fans, his next set flashed this message: "Sorry Harry. It was a mistake from my team. We love you. <3"

Zendaya's Suprise

This year's surprise guests on Coachella definitely knocked the air out of the audiences-Zendaya, Sia, and Maddie Ziegler all joined Labrinth onstage.

Zendaya, who donned a pink corset on top of a white tank top and frilly skirt, performed "I'm Tired" and "All of Us."

Aside from Zendaya, Labrinth invited Sia onstage. She emerged wearing her signature blonde wig, and a pink two-piece ensemble, with Maddie Ziegler alongside her. The "Dance Moms" star was wearing something similar.

Labrinth had nothing but great things to say about the "The Greatest" singer: "I wanna say I fuckin' love this girl. When I first came to L.A., I was depressed and fucked up ... When someone picks you up and supports you as a friend, you gotta hold them close."

According to Variety, this is the second time Labrinth has thrilled the audience by inviting a surprise guest-or two.

The previous week, he brought Billie Eilish onstage to perform their song "Never Felt So Alone."

Becky G's Tribute to Latinas

As per USA Today, Becky G once again wowed the crowd with her flawless looks, set, and performance.

She embodied Latina excellence on the Coachella stage as she performed a medley of Selena songs, "Como La Flor," "La Carcacha," "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," and "Baila Esta Cumbia."

This is the second tribute performance in honor of Selena, as Karol G had also given a tribute to the late singer, as well as Shakira, GLoria Estefan, and more.
