This weekend saw the first weekend of the Coachella festival in the USA.
Held in the desert near Palm Springs in California, the festival aims to be an American equivalent of Glastonbury, but its proximity to Los Angeles, probably the centre of the world's entertainment industry, makes it a massive opportunity for the acts that play there.
As I mentioned earlier this year, a number of French acts took to the stage, this weekend M83 and Justice among the bands performing, David Guetta also playing.
While none of these acts managed to resurect a hologram of Tupac - unlike Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg - and while Radiohead and Bon Iver are more likely to be the names dropped by reviewers - the quality of the French acts playing this year will certainly have won them some influential friends and admirers.
