The 20 Most Outrageous Moments at Coachella Music Festival

It's music festival season, and today marks the first day of the two-weekend 2013 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival. With everyone from Wu-Tang Clan to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Pusha T and Earl Sweatshirt taking the stage, this year's line-up is stacked.

There's no better way to anticipate this year's festival than to look at the years past, where acts like Rage Against The Machine reunited on stage or where The Cure played after curfew, even without their speakers on.

Coachella Music Festival has been around since 1999 and plenty of legendary performances and moments have gone down. Here are the 20 most outrageous of the bunch.

Tyler, the Creator and the Odd Future crew walked around Coachella toting water guns—which they sprayed in the faces of a few security guards. They got kicked out the day after their opening set. Watch the performance here:

The Cure's set ran nearly three hours, which went past the Coachella curfew of around 12:40 a.m. The sound was pulled and right during "Boys Don't Cry," the speakers dropped. The crowd, however, helped The Cure finish off the legendary performance, even without sound.

The Pixies concluded their North American club tour with a headlining act at Coachella, which, after an 11-year hiatus, sold out. It was the first Coachella event to ever sell out, and the crowd went insane for the Pixies.

Pavement's performance at the 1999 Coachella festival is painful to watch. Lead singer Stephen Malkmus is unable to get through songs, and his attitude seems to deteriorate throughout the entire performance. Weeks later, he told the band that he couldn't "do it anymore" which led to their breakup shortly thereafter.

In true Kanye form, he closed out Coachella with a three-act set for an hour and 40 minutes. It all started off with "Dark Fantasy," the introductory track to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He ascended to the skies via moving platform, zipped over the crowd, and landed on stage to perform a jaw-dropping set.

After breaking up in Fall 2000, Rage Against The Machine reunited seven years later as a headlining act at Coachella, where Zack de la Rocha let off years of steam, right on the mic, midway through the performance.

Frontman Wayne Coyne's crowd surfed in his signature man-sized plastic bubble during their live performance while the band was dressed in crazy costumes and beach balls flew in the air.

Close to the 25th anniversary of Ian Curtis' tragic death, New Order graced the Coachella stage to perform Joy Division songs, something the band had not done in two decades. They performed "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Transmission," leaving the audience in awe.

During their first live U.S. performance since 1997, Daft Punk performed backed by a towering LED pyramid and full-on light show. It was an incredible live performance and an overall experience that shocked, and pleased, Coachella attendees.

Lindsay Lohan was advised by her judge to steer clear of the partying scene, and yet, she still made it to Coachella.

Date: 4/27/2003

The legendary Iggy & The Stooges reunited on stage at the 2003 Coachella Festivae, with Mike Watt filling in for the late Ron Asheton on bass. They opened the set with "Loose" and went through hits like "I Wanna Be Your Dog" with Iggy on the floor, belting into the mic.

Madonna can still rock out. The festival booked her as the Sahara dance tent's headlining act, and she performed 30 minutes of club bangers, with no complaints.

Date: 5/8/2005

Peter Murphy began Bauhaus' Coachella performance suspended high, hanging upside down like a bat. The band stayed together for three years after the successful Coachella performance, too.

"I can smell burning flesh...and I hope to God it's human," Morrissey said on stage before gagging and eventually walking off the stage due to the smell.

Rihanna's wild partying carried on to Coachella where she sat atop her bodyguard's shoulders, occasionally dancing alongside Katy Perry, and rolled a blunt right on his head. And then she hopped onstage to perform "Where Have You Been." Watch her performance here:

Roger Waters was the first artist to ever perform back-to-back sets at Coachella, and during the performance, he released a two-story inflatable pig into the skies while playing a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs." The pig had "Don't be led to the slaughter" painted on it and a cartoon of Uncle Sam holding two bloody cleavers.

The Coachella crowds didn't know what hit them when Die Antwoord took the stage. They performed for less than 20 minutes, but still managed to get things turned up. Then, they granted Complex with this golden interview.

During Arcade Fire's last song "Wake Up," beach balls, controlled by LEDs and IR transmitters in each ball, were thrown into the crowd to light up the entire audience.

For a full 90 minutes, Jeff Goldblum and his 'band,' the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, performed on a piano for a Funny or Die mockumentary of his first performance at Coachella. The performance was technically not even held on Coachella grounds but right outside, in an empty parking lot.

During the festival-closing set by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, 2Pac was brought out in the form of a hologram. It's haunting and phenomenal to watch him perform "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with the duo.

Coachella is not for the weak. It will be a weekend filled with concerts, partying, and well, people like this. Enjoy.
