What term commonly describes Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance?

The term commonly used for Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance is Beychella.

“Beychella” is an informal portmanteau combining Beyoncé’s name with Coachella. It became a widely used label for her two headline sets at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

The performances were notable for their large-scale marching-band arrangements, dance sections, elaborate staging, and guest appearances by Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Beyoncé also became the first Black woman to headline Coachella.

The nickname is not the official name of the festival or a separate tour. It describes the cultural impact and distinctive identity of Beyoncé’s sets. Her preparation and performance were later chronicled in the Netflix documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, released in 2019.
