Snapped: Backstage Vibes at The Do LaB: Coachella’s Hidden Gem (A Photo Essay)

AI Chat - Image Generator:

In 2006, the founders of The Do LaB collective (brothers Jesse, Josh and Dede Flemming) pitched an art installation project to the team at Coachella. After getting the go ahead with barely a week to prepare, The Do LaB community pulled the installation together, but also made sure to bring their decks and sound system. After the festival shut down each night, The Do LaB would turn into a renegade dance party, going till dawn.

Fast forward to today, The Do LaB has carved out its own oasis on the Coachella map. It not only features genre-spanning dance music line-ups like no other, but you’ll also find surprise sets from the likes of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Skrillex, Anderson.Paak… even Billie Eilish. And the other star of the show is The Do LaB’s back stage area, where you’ll find plenty of shade, cold drinks and a chill zone that’s less concerned with celebrity and more about hangs and community.

BTS’ Jin Transforms ‘Tonight Show’ Stage Into a Giant Bed & Takes Over Jimmy Fallon’s Desk: Exclusive Photos

For his return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (May 21), Jin transformed the stage into a giant bed — and Billboard has the exclusive preview photos to prove it.

The BTS member made himself at home in Studio 6B, getting extra cozy for his performance of “Don’t Say You Love Me,” the lead single from his just-released second solo EP Echo. Jin dropped the seven-track project — the follow-up to his November debut solo EP Happy — on Friday, May 16.

In addition to his comfy performance, Jin also sat down for an interview with Fallon — just like he did for his first solo appearance on The Tonight Show late last year. And this time, he turned the tables on Fallon too, jumping behind the desk to grill the late-night host.

Jin’s superstar group BTS — also comprised of SUGA, j-hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jung Kook — first visited The Tonight Show back in 2018 for a performance of the Billboard Hot 100 No. 11 hit “Idol” and “I’m Fine.” In 2020, the boys made multiple Tonight Show appearances — including a couple of virtual performances on the show during the COVID-19 pandemic — before returning again in 2021 for performances of their No. 1 hits “Butter” and “Permission to Dance.”

Back in March, Jin’s BTS bandmate j-hope made his solo Tonight Show debut and got similarly cozy, rocking a pair of fluffy bunny slippers with his jeans-and-black-blazer ‘fit.

To watch Jin’s full performance and interview, tune in to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (May 21) at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC, or streaming on Peacock.
