Justin Bieber closed Coachella’s first Saturday night on April 11, taking the main stage at 11:25 p.m. Pacific time as Weekend 1 pushed through wind and dust in Indio.

(thefader.com) Local television coverage in Los Angeles singled out Bieber and The Strokes as the day’s central draws as thousands returned to the Empire Polo Club for the festival’s second day. (abc7.com) The weather was part of the story again on Saturday. The Desert Sun reported a windblown dust advisory remained in effect across much of the Coachella Valley through early Sunday, including Indio, Palm Springs and La Quinta. (desertsun.com) Those conditions followed a rougher Friday night, when strong winds led to the cancellation of Anyma’s late set and damaged parts of the campgrounds. (consequence.net) Reviews from the grounds said Saturday leaned harder into guitars than Friday. The Desert Sun wrote that the day’s rock acts stood out, while Time Out’s guide for Saturday framed Bieber, The Strokes and Jack White as key names on a bill with a stronger rock presence.
