Beyoncé’s performance documented in Homecoming took place at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2018.
She headlined Coachella in April 2018, becoming the first Black woman to headline the festival. Her performance featured a large marching-band-style ensemble, dancers, guest appearances, and songs spanning her solo career and Destiny’s Child history. Former Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams joined her onstage.
Netflix released Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé on April 17, 2019. The documentary combines concert footage with behind-the-scenes material about rehearsals and the creative process. Its title refers to the performance’s themes of Black colleges, community, and cultural celebration.
The event is often confused with Beyoncé’s 2018 appearance at other festivals or with her later Renaissance World Tour. Coachella is the California festival where the historic headline sets occurred; Homecoming is the later documentary film about those sets, not the name of the festival itself.
