INDIO: US senator Bernie Sanders became one of Coachella’s top cameos so far, drawing a massive crowd on Saturday as he made a pit stop at the premier music festival.
Screaming fans sprinted over, camera phones in hand, to capture the politician’s unannounced speech that followed a blockbuster set from superstar Charli XCX at a neighboring stage.
“I’m not gonna be long but this country faces some very difficult challenges and the future of what happens to America depends on your generation,” Sanders said to raucous cheers at the major California desert double weekend that marks the unofficial start of music festival season.
