Whether you enjoyed this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival under the Palm Desert sunshine or in the darkness of your basement rec room (thanks to YouTube), we can all agree on one thing: pretty much every single one of the 150-plus performing artists killed it (or at least slayed it). Here’s a round-up of this past weekend’s carnage as documented on Twitter; though precise body-count figures resulting from all the killing you’re about to witness have yet to be revealed, those of you attending the upcoming second weekend of Coachella may want to consider a slipping Kevlar vest underneath your tank top just to be on the safe side.
