The Coachella music festival has kicked off with surprise guest actor Susan Sarandon featuring in pop star Sabrina Carpenter's headlining performance on Friday. The actor delivered a monologue as an older version of Carpenter in the middle of her set. Other stars who featured in the singer's classic Hollywood-themed gig were comedian Will Ferrell and actor Sam Elliott.
The massive festival in the California desert draws more than 100,000 people daily over two weekends, according to police from the city of Indio. This year, weather agencies have warned of wind and dust in the area, with strong winds forcing the festival to cancel a set by DJ Anyma after Carpenter's performance.
Due to strong wind conditions affecting Anyma's stage build, he is unable to perform tonight, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival said in a statement on Instagram on Friday. Coachella and Anyma have made this decision together with your safety as the priority.
The National Weather Service had said wind gusts were expected to reach around 25 miles per hour on Friday, with an air quality advisory in place until Sunday morning due to windblown dust that could be unhealthy for sensitive groups. The Coachella festival, held at the Empire Polo Club, has been running since 2002 and will feature headliners Justin Bieber and Karol G over the weekend.
