Beyoncé performed the 2018 set documented in Homecoming at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
She headlined Coachella in April 2018, becoming the first Black woman to headline the festival. Her performances took place on two consecutive weekends and featured a large ensemble of dancers, musicians, a marching-band-inspired sound, and appearances by Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Jay-Z also appeared during the set.
Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé premiered on Netflix in April 2019. The documentary intercuts rehearsal footage with concert performance and explains the creative planning behind the production. Its accompanying live album was released on the same day as the film.
The event is often shortened to “Coachella,” but its official name is the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Beyoncé’s set was widely described as a landmark performance because it combined festival headlining with historically Black college and university band traditions.
