INDIO, California - Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg wowed Coachella's final night Sunday having a roster of guests way beyond what even the rumors could have predicted. Backed by a reside band and unexpectedly artsy video screens, no less than Eminem, 50 Cent, Warren G along with a hologram of Tupac graced the stage.
As if that wasn't adequate, Wiz Khalifa also joined the West Coast hip-hop legends for the anthem in the weekend, "Young, Wild and Cost-free," which had the crowd singing the chorus in unison: "So what we get drunk/ So what we smoke weed/ We're just getting fun/ We don't care who sees/ So what we go out/ That's how it is supposed to be/ Living young and wild and absolutely free."
Kendrick Lamar - who performed an afternoon set on the primary stage Friday - also joined the pair for "The Recipe," his new joint featuring Dre, who introduced him as "straight outta Compton."
Following their own "The Subsequent Episode" and "Deep Cover (187 on an Undercover Cop)," Dre and Snoop covered Home of Pain's "Jump About." The hardest moment in the night came when 50 Cent stormed the stage for "What Up Gangsta" with Tony Yayo by his side, segueing into "P.I.M.P." with tropical calypso steel drums and his 2003 breakthrough hit, "In Da Club."
Snoop paid homage to his late homey Nate Dogg, performing "Ain't No Fun" alongside Kurupt and Warren G because the screens displayed pictures of Nate, Snoop and the rest of the Dogg Pound.
The appearance of the late Tupac in incredibly realistic hologram form, which was remarkable to some and creepy to other individuals, brought "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted."
Eminem even came out for "I Have to have a Physician," a dubstep-flavored "Forgot About Dre" and "Till I Collapse."
Capping their historic set with "What's My Name?" and "Still D.R.E.," Dre and Snoop disappeared below the stage with all the Fantastic Doctor proclaiming towards the adoring audience, "I wanna say thank you for the enjoy for so many years."
Sunday's surprise guests didn't stop there although, as Rihanna joined Calvin Harris for her most up-to-date single, "Where Have You Been," and "We Identified Really like," and Rage Against the Machine spitter Zack de la Rocha lent his lyrics to DJ Shadow.
Earlier within the night, the primary stage was handled by French electronic duo Justice and also the much-anticipated In the Drive-In reunion. The influential post-hardcore band had heads banging to "Pattern Against User," "Lopsided," "Enfilade" and slowed it down a little using the melodic "Napoleon Solo."
Elsewhere, the Sahara dance tent hosted Avicii, the Weeknd grooved a huge crowd in the Outdoor Stage as he sang the sun down with his soulful jams, and Florence and the Machine had the ladies lifted together with the frontwoman's request that the "strong gentleman inside the house" supply their shoulders for "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)."
In response to last year's event selling out - a week immediately after the 2011 lineup was announced - the festival is experimenting with featuring the same artists for two consecutive three-day weekends: April 13-15 and April 20-22.
At Coachella's uncharacteristically cold and glooming initially day Friday, the Black Keys and Swedish House Mafia kept fans warm. Saturday brought Radiohead, Bon Iver and David Guetta with Usher
