Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performances were held in Indio, California.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, a city in Riverside County. Although the festival’s name comes from the Coachella Valley, the event is not held in the separate city of Coachella. That geographic distinction is a common source of confusion.
Beyoncé headlined both weekends of the 2018 festival, performing on April 14 and April 21. Her set became known for its marching-band arrangements, elaborate staging, choreography, and surprise appearances by Jay-Z, Solange, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams.
Indio is part of the Coachella Valley in Southern California and has hosted the festival since its move to the Empire Polo Club in 1999. The 2018 performances were later documented in Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé. Thus, Palm Springs may be associated with the wider region, but the festival site and Beyoncé’s performances were in Indio.
