While Blondie went on to release other smash hits like “Call Me” and “One Way or Another,” cultivating their unique musical style in the crowded rock space of the ’80s, it’s safe to say that Harry’s elevated rocker look played a part in the band’s allure and mainstream success. (Their hits, like “Heart of Glass,” were perfect for the moment.) The group first rose to fame in the mid-’70s at a time when new wave music-a quirky, lighthearted, pop-punk-meets-electronic sound-was taking over the airwaves. Over the years, Harry and Stein have remained the central fixtures in the group, though it now includes drummer Clem Burke, guitarist Paul Carbonara, keyboardists Matt Katz-Bohen and Jimmy Destri, and bassist Leigh Foxx. In honor of their much-anticipated festival appearance, Vogue is looking back at the American band’s signature grunge-glam style over the years-because you can bet they’ll be bringing some of their exceptionally cool looks to Coachella.įormed in New York in 1974, Blondie originally consisted of co-founders Debbie Harry as lead vocalist and Chris Stein as guitarist, as well as bassist Fred Smith and drummer Billy O’Connor. There are even some iconic rock groups in the mix, too: Blondie, a mainstay of the ’70s and ’80s, will be kicking off the festival weekend with a set on Friday. As always, this year’s star-studded lineup is packed with some of the biggest names in music: Bad Bunny, Blackpink, and Frank Ocean serve as the 2023 headliners, while Gorillaz, Rosalía, Björk, and more acts will all hit the main stages as well. This Friday, the first weekend of the annual Coachella music festival kicks off at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
