Beyoncé’s 2018 concert film Homecoming was recorded at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Beyoncé headlined Coachella in April 2018, becoming the first Black woman to headline the festival. Her performances took place over two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The production celebrated Black college and university culture through marching-band arrangements, majorette-style choreography, and a large ensemble of dancers and musicians.
Netflix released Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé on April 17, 2019. The documentary combines concert footage with behind-the-scenes material about the performance’s preparation. It also includes appearances by Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
The performance is sometimes described simply as “Beychella,” a nickname formed from Beyoncé and Coachella. Homecoming is not a recording of the Renaissance World Tour; it documents the earlier 2018 festival appearance and its extensive rehearsal process.
