How Kanye West pulled 50,000 people to his Sunday Service at Coachella [Photos]

Kanye West wrapped up Coachella in style when he performed his popular Sunday Service to over 50,000 excited revellers.

The Sunday Service, which he has been performing near his Calabasas home in California since January and has since become a ritual features the award-winning rapper performing some of his hit songs as well as gospel songs with a choir and a live band.

Performing on a huge man-made mountain on the event grounds on Easter Sunday, fans got the chance to experience the much talked about praise and worship session which also featured performances by DMX, Chance The Rapper, Ty Dolla Sign, Teyana Taylor, among others.

The All Of The Lights rapper, who was largely spectator during the session also debuted a new song titled Water.

After the event, his wife, Kim Kardashian, took to her Instagram page to explain the genesis of the Sunday Service and why it means so much to her husband.

“Sunday Service was so special to experience here at Coachella especially for my first time here!,” she wrote.

“Kanye started Sunday Service for healing for himself and his close friends and family. He had this vision of starting a church for few years and it was magical seeing everyone else get to experience it. I’m so proud of you babe for doing exactly whats in your heart,” she continued.

Take a look at some photos and coverage of the performances below:
