Coachella 2016 might be finished now, but today we’re going to be looking waaaay back past Coachella 2016 to Coachella 2006, and relive Daft Punk’s first ever Coachella performance.
10 years ago today, as pointed out by EDM Sauce, Daft Punk took to the Sahara Stage to perform for a sold-out crowd of 40,000 and since then electronic music presence in the US has grown drastically thanks in no part to the efforts by the legendary French duo.
The only notable dance music artist who performed at Coachella 2006 is Carl Cox, compare that to the amount of dance music artists who played this year and you’ll see just how much dance music has grown in the States in the past decade.
