What role did Beyoncé headline at the 2018 Coachella performances documented in Homecoming?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé was a headliner at the 2018 Coachella performances documented in Homecoming.

Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé is a 2019 documentary and concert film released on Netflix. It focuses on her preparation for and performances at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, where she became the first Black woman to headline the festival.

The performances featured a large marching-band-style production, extensive choreography, guest appearances, and songs from across Beyoncé’s career. The project also explored the rehearsal process and the cultural meaning of the performance, including its references to historically Black colleges and universities.

The 2018 festival appearance is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s 2017 cancellation. She had originally been scheduled to perform in 2017 but withdrew because she was pregnant with twins. She instead performed at Coachella in 2018, and those performances became the basis for Homecoming.
