We already posted day 1 pictures and day 2 pictures of the first weekend of Coachella 2014, and a set of day 3 is HERE, but here’s a separate set of pics of Arcade Fire‘s headlining set that day. We already talked about their set, including the fact that Blondie singer Debbie Harry joined them for a cover of her own band’s “Heart of Glass” and stayed to sing backup on “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains).” We also mentioned that Barack Obama bobbleheads and Pope Francis bobbleheads (which debuted in Austin) joined them, but what we didn’t know is the actual person wearing the Pope Francis bobblehead was Aaron Paul, aka Breaking Bad‘s Jesse Pinkman, who was one of the many celebrities at the festival. That’s a picture of Jesse with the Pope bobblehead above, via CoS, via Arcade Fire’s manager.
