Beyoncé headlined Coachella in 2018, becoming the festival’s first Black woman headliner.
Her performance took place at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on April 14 and April 21, 2018. The set included a marching-band-inspired production and reunited Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams onstage.
The performance became widely known as “Beychella.” It was praised for its scale, cultural references, choreography, and celebration of historically Black college and university band traditions. Beyoncé later developed the performance into the 2019 live album and concert film Homecoming.
