Beyoncé performed her famous 2018 headlining set at Coachella. She headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on April 14 and April 21, 2018.
The performance was widely nicknamed “Beychella.” It featured a large marching-band concept, extensive choreography, and appearances by Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, reuniting the members of Destiny’s Child onstage. Jay-Z and Solange also appeared during different parts of the set.
Beyoncé’s performance highlighted historically Black college and university band culture, stepping, majorette traditions, and a broad history of Black American music. It became one of the festival’s most discussed headline performances and was later released as the documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé in 2019.
Some people use “Beychella” for the documentary or for the entire cultural moment. The festival itself was Coachella, officially the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and the performance took place across two weekends in 2018.
