3:39 PM: While Jagwar Ma continues bestowing the Gobi tent with psychedelic vibes, a herd of muscular dudes is spotted in the center of the crowd, all while tank tops with the word BROCHELLA printed on the back. Apparently, the rest of the festival didn't get the name-change memo.

4:32 PM: As if a cameo from A$AP Rocky wasn't enough of a finale, A$AP Ferg ended his set by strapping on a brown jacket that was hooked up to some type of air pump, and proceeded to blast puffs of smoke out of the arm holes. The stunt was strangely cool, and the MC had a gleeful smile on his face all the while.

9:57 PM: The video feed at the main stage gets screwed up, so that Bryan Ferry's Mojave Tent performance is being shown while Girl Talk is onstage. Intoxicated members of Girl Talk's dance party must have been DEEPLY confused.
