Pharrell (Outdoor Theatre, Saturday at 10:35pm)

Love him or hate him, Pharrell is untouchable right now. He has crafted mega-hits for Robin Thicke, Beyonce and Ed Sheeran as well as appearing on his own (“Get Lucky” and absolutely unavoidable “Happy”). He’s even been tapped to replace Cee-Lo Green on The Voice! Fingers crossed his Coachella performance will make you feel like a room without a roof.

Chromeo (Friday, Coachella Stage at 7:55pm)

The Canadian duo is know for their off-the-wall live shows and retro-influenced approach to electronic music, which would make them a must-see act under any circumstances but they have also dropped one of the best pop songs of 2014 with “Jealous (I Ain’t With It)”. And that more than earns them a spot on our list.

Other awesome acts that you really should see because they’re great and you’ll really enjoy them: 

Outkast, Flume, Bastille, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Duke Dumont, Pet Shop Boys, Skrillex, Empire Of The Sun, Foster The People, Solange, Capital Cities, Chvrches, Banks, The 1975, Disclosure, AlunaGeorge, Jhene Aiko, Alesso, Krewella, Showtek, Flight Facilities, Galantis, Nas, Future Islands and Courtney Barnett.
