Beyoncé’s celebrated 2018 Coachella performance is commonly called Beychella.
Beyoncé headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2018. Her performance was notable because she became the first Black woman to headline the festival. The set featured an elaborate marching-band concept, choreography, costume changes, and guest appearances by Destiny’s Child, Jay-Z, and her sister Solange.
The informal name “Beychella” combines Beyoncé’s name with Coachella. It became widely used by fans and media to describe the cultural impact of the performance, although it was not the festival’s official name. The performance drew on historically Black college and university marching-band traditions and celebrated Black music and performance culture.
Footage from the performance was later shaped into Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, released by Netflix in 2019. A live album titled Homecoming: The Live Album accompanied the film. The event is also sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s later Renaissance World Tour, which was a separate concert project.
