With the first weekend of Coachella behind us, we decided it was time to recap the best of the 2016 fest. So we assembled an esteemed pool of voters (approximately four of us) to decide these not at all arbitrary awards. Though their yearbook superlative-like names may sound silly, we're deadly serious in handing out such honorable distinctions for some of the sights and sounds that have stuck with us from Coachella 2016. Congratulations to all of the winners.
