Beyoncé’s first headlining Coachella performance was commonly nicknamed Beychella.
She headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2018. The performance took place across the festival’s two weekends and became known for its large-scale celebration of historically Black colleges and universities, marching-band traditions, step routines, and Black music history.
Beyoncé performed with a substantial ensemble that included dancers, a marching band, and guest appearances by Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Jay-Z also appeared during the set. The performance was later documented in the 2019 Netflix film Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé and its accompanying live album.
“Beychella” is an informal media nickname rather than the official name of the festival or a separately released concert tour. Coachella’s formal name is the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held in Indio, California.
