US senator Bernie Sanders became one of Coachella’s top cameos so far, drawing a massive crowd on Saturday as he made a pitstop 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. You can turn away and ignore what goes on but you do it at your own peril. We need you to stand up to fight for justice,” Sanders said to raucous cheers at the major California desert double weekend that marks the unofficial start of music festival season.
