2012 Coachella — Dre, Snoop & The 2Pac Hologram: Great Moments in Pop Star History (with Katie Bain)
The 2012 edition of Coachella was an enormously important one — shifting the festival's musical balances, premiering vital new rising stars and earning its first truly viral pop culture moment with the 2Pac hologram featured in headliners Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's star-studded set. On this week's Great Moments in Pop Star History episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard's Katie Bain — who just wrote the 'Desert Dreams' book about Coachella — to recall our own memories of the 2012 festival, and how its climactic moment continues to reverberate over a decade later.
