Beyoncé performed the 2018 set featured in Homecoming at Coachella.
She headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on two weekends in April 2018. The performance was notable because Beyoncé had postponed her planned 2017 appearance after becoming pregnant with twins. Her eventual set became known for its marching-band-inspired staging, large ensemble, detailed choreography, and celebration of historically Black colleges and universities.
Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, released by Netflix in 2019, documents the preparation and performance. The film also includes rehearsal footage and creative discussions, giving viewers more context for the scale of the production. A live album with the same title accompanied the documentary.
The event is commonly called Coachella, although its formal name is the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It is held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Beyoncé’s appearance made her the first Black woman to headline the festival.
