Travis Scott shut down Coachella Saturday night with a wild, next-level performance that had the whole desert lit.

La Flame took over the main stage like only he can, turning the festival into his own rager playground. From the jump, it was clear this wasn’t gonna be your average headlining set. Travis, who helped curate the festival’s overall design, pulled out all the stops. He brought out full marching bands from Jackson State and Florida A&M, turning bangers like “Sicko Mode” and “Fe!n” into full-on stadium anthems. The energy was unmatched, with the crowd locked in from start to finish.

Things got even crazier during “Stargazing,” when dancers were literally hanging in the air doing wild acrobatics above the stage. Then, during his cult classic “Skyfall,” Travis had the whole crowd trippin’ with an optical illusion that made it look like he was walking sideways up a wall, real mind-bending visuals that felt straight out of “Days Before Rodeo.”

One of the night’s most unexpected moments came when he mashed up “Modern Jam” with Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Nokia,” riding up on a massive platform while the beat dropped. The mashup, which originally went viral as a fan-made edit, came to life in a way nobody saw coming. From the visuals to the vibes, Travis made it clear: Coachella was his house, and everybody else was just visiting.
