At which music festival was Beyoncé’s 2018 performance held?

Beyoncé’s celebrated 2018 performance was held at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

She headlined Coachella in April 2018, becoming the first Black woman to headline the festival. Her two performances, on April 14 and April 21, featured a large marching-band-inspired production, extensive choreography, and appearances by former Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

The performance drew on historically Black colleges and universities, especially their marching-band and majorette traditions. Its scale and cultural references made it one of the most discussed festival performances of the decade.

Netflix released Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé in 2019. The documentary combines concert footage with rehearsal scenes and personal context. The festival is officially the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, although “Coachella” is the standard short name.
