The Greatest Music Moments From The Decade

Coachella’s Tupac hologram implemented a whole new industry

The world lost Tupac in 1996, but this wasn’t the last time we would see the acclaimed rapper perform. In 2012, a hologram of the rapper was projected at Coachella which saw the rapper perform alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre which facilitated discussion around the world of holograms in music.

The special effect reportedly cost between $100,000 to $400,000 and this was essentially seen as a trial run to see if it would work. After it was a massive success, there were talks of hologram tours featuring late artists including Roy Orbison and Whitney Houston.
