Beyoncé’s celebrated 2018 Coachella performance became known as Beychella.
She headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 14 and April 21, 2018. The nickname “Beychella” combines Beyoncé’s name with Coachella and became widely used to describe the performances and their cultural impact. She was the first Black woman to headline the festival.
The set included a large marching-band and majorette-inspired production, appearances by Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and songs spanning Beyoncé’s solo career and group history. The performance later formed the basis of the 2019 Netflix documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé. A common mix-up is calling the event Homecoming, but Homecoming is the documentary title; Beychella refers specifically to the 2018 Coachella performances.
