Day one of Coachella is done and dusted. This of course means that plenty of celebrity and socialite photo dumps are beginning to surface online. Among those attending the annual music festival's first weekend are stars like Karrueche, Bella Thorne, Madison Beer, and James Charles. They're making headlines simply for showing up to the event. Really though, all eyes were on yesterday's performers, who included acts like Idris Elba, YUNGBLUD, Tobe Nwigwe, and Pusha T. Bad Bunny was the evening's headliner. He brought out plenty of surprise guests while working through technical difficulties like a champ.

Blink-182 also gave an incredible performance on Coachella's opening day, with Travis Barker tearing it up on the drums as expected. His wife, Kourtney Kardashian, and his son, Landon Barker, stepped out in support of the rocker at the Sahara Tent. While the oldest Kardashian-Jenner sibling was obviously outside, the youngest, Kylie, was nowhere to be seen after DeuxMoi speculated that she and Timothée Chalamet would make their debut at the event. Of course, it's entirely possible we could see them make an appearance next weekend as well.

Other noteworthy sets came from acts like Pusha T, Doechii, and Jaden Smith, all of whom brought nothing short of style and swagger to the stage. Coachella day two preparations are taking place as we speak, and along with today's impressive line-up (including Yung Lean, Labrinth, $uicideboy$, Rosalía, and headliners BLACKPINK), many stars are looking forward to attending Coachella's biggest after-party, Neon Carnival.

According to TMZ, names like Lil Nas X, Idris Elba, YG, Nina Dobrev, and Willow Smith are all expected to attend tonight (April 15). This will mark the function's twelfth year taking place, and DJ Ruckus has been tapped to keep the vibes going into the early morning hours. Nearly 10,000 people were at last year's carnival, and even more are reportedly expected to appear in 2023.
