What was Beyoncé’s first headline performance at Coachella called in its Netflix documentary?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s Coachella performance is documented in the Netflix film Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé.

Beyoncé headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2018, becoming the first Black woman to headline the festival. The performance incorporated marching-band arrangements, a large ensemble of dancers, Destiny’s Child appearances, and songs from throughout her career.

Netflix released Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé on April 17, 2019. The documentary combines concert footage with rehearsal scenes and commentary about the preparation behind the festival set. Its title refers both to the performance’s celebratory atmosphere and to Beyoncé’s return to the stage after giving birth to twins.

The performance is sometimes called “Beychella,” a fan and media nickname, but Homecoming is the official documentary title. It is also different from Black Is King, Beyoncé’s 2020 visual album and film connected with The Lion King: The Gift.
