Kendrick Lamar gave the performance of a lifetime to close the first weekend of Coachella.

Kendrick Lamar closed out the first weekend of Coachella festival with a headline performance featuring a bold amount of material from his latest album ‘DAMN.’

The performance marked the live debuts of the eight songs he played from his fourth studio album. ‘Kung Fu Kenny’ opened his set his the controversial Fox News segment that lambasted Lamar for his lyrics in the 2015 track, ‘Alright’.

His performance featured some stage acrobatics and special guests. For ‘DNA.’, Kendrick was accompanied on stage by a ninja whereas for ‘PRIDE.’ the west-coast rapper was rappelled into the air.

Kendrick was first joined by Travis Scott to perform ‘Goosebumps’ – a track from Scott’s second album that features Lamar. Later on, fellow TDE member Schoolboy Q appeared to perform ‘THat Part’ from Q’s ‘Blank Face’ album. Following that, Future made an appearance to perform ‘Mask Off’ while Kendrick took the role of his hype man.
