What was Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance later called?
Answer
Beychella
Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance was later called “Beychella.”
She headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 14 and April 21, 2018. The performance was the first by a Black woman to headline the festival and featured an extensive marching-band concept inspired by historically Black colleges and universities.
The set included appearances by her former Destiny’s Child groupmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, as well as her sister Solange. Jay-Z also joined her onstage. The performance combined songs from across her career with large-scale choreography, brass arrangements, and a carefully designed visual presentation.
The nickname “Beychella” became widely used by audiences and the media, although it was not the official name of the festival. Beyoncé later documented the preparation and performances in the 2019 Netflix film Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, accompanied by a live album.
