Beyoncé performed her 2018 headlining set at Coachella, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
She headlined the festival in Indio, California, on April 14 and April 21, 2018. The performances were widely nicknamed “Beychella” and were notable for their marching-band arrangements, large ensemble, choreography, and celebration of historically Black college and university culture.
Beyoncé had originally been scheduled to perform in 2017 but postponed after announcing that she was pregnant with twins. Her eventual 2018 appearance became one of the festival’s most discussed performances.
The performance was later documented in the 2019 Netflix film Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé. Coachella is often shortened in casual usage, but its formal name is the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
