In Beyoncé’s 2019 film Homecoming, what festival performance is documented?

Beyoncé’s 2019 film Homecoming documents her performances at Coachella 2018.

The concert film follows the preparation and staging of her two headline sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2018. Beyoncé became the first Black woman to headline the festival, making the performances historically significant as well as musically ambitious.

The production drew on historically Black colleges and universities, including marching-band traditions, majorette dance, step culture, and a large ensemble of musicians and dancers. The set included Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams as surprise guests.

Homecoming was released on Netflix in April 2019 and accompanied by a live album. The film is not a record of Beyoncé’s later Renaissance World Tour or her Glastonbury appearance; it focuses on the 2018 Coachella event and the extensive work behind it.
