During his set, the 46-year-old multi-talented artist spun records while wearing a large pair of sunglasses and an intricately patterned shirt, topping off the look with a bandana tied around his neck.

Though the actor sometimes performs under the name DJ Big Driis, he decided to perform under his own name at the Indio, California, festival.

Ahead of her father’s big moment, Isan, who shared that she’d skipped her prom to attend the festival, posted a sweet photo of herself posing with Elba and a friend, captioning the photo, “Coachella weekend… day 1!”
