Heading to Indio for Weekend 2 of Coachella? Buzz Bands LA covered 58 sets during the first weekend of the festival, and below are the links to all of them. We had three writers on the ground trying to cover as much as possible (and, yes, we still missed a lot). Our favorites? We picked our three favorite sets, plus an early-in-the-day wild card surprise. Best of the fest:

• Kevin Bronson: Alabama Shakes, Jack White, Action Bronson. Wild card: Vic Mensa.

• Seraphina Lotkhamnga: Stromae, Jenny Lewis, Belle and Sebastian. Wild card: Saint Motel.

• Ben McShane: Father John Misty, Swans, AC/DC. Wild card: PHOX.
