2NE1’s shocking reunion, Justin Bieber surprises the stage, and more!
Two years off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival or more commonly known for short as Coachella was finally able to rock LA again last weekend. The triumphant festival which is often attended by A-list celebrities with top-tier performances instantly captured the attention of music maniacs and became a trending topic in many countries. Coachella lasts for a total of six days divided into two weeks, April 15-17 and April 22-24. Located in Empire Polo Club, California, the first week of the festival was also aired live on Coachella’s official Youtube account. After successfully scoring the first week, Coachella seemed to already reap the fruits of success thanks to numerous performances.
What are some of the most notable moments that spark the first week of Coachella? BookMyShow managed to curate some of them in case you miss the euphoria. Take a peek below and rest assured that these moments will become the highlights of Coachella 2022!
1. 2NE1 Surprised Fans with A Reunion
Four queens have risen again! One of the pioneers in the history of the K-pop girl band, 2NE1, made fans both offline and online hysterical last weekend. Disbanding six years ago, 2NE1 decided that it was time for them to hop back on stage again. CL, as one of the members, said that she intentionally invited three other members, namely, Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Minzy as their most sincere form of appreciation for the tremendous amount of support in these past 13 years. 2NE1 was part of 88rising’s Heads In The Clouds Forever set.
2. Carly Rae Jepsen Debuted Her New Single
Carly Rae Jepsen has officially ended her hiatus. The Call Me Maybe singer gave fans a relieving fresh commencement last Friday (U.S. time) in Coachella by performing her latest single Western Wind. Prior to Coachella, Jepsen has already thrown off a teaser about her new single last week after a two-year hiatus from music. After all, it’s no longer a “call me maybe” but a “call me back”, don’t you think?
3. Harry Styles Performed with Shania Twain and Spilled Two Unreleased Singles
One of One Direction’s ex-member, Harry Styles, wrapped up the first day of Coachella in style―of course. He performed some of his greatest hits ever since he went solos such as Adore You, Watermelon Sugar, Golden, and the most recent, As It Was. However, the singer gave a special jaw-dropper performance as he sang two unreleased singles, Boyfriends and Late Night Talking, from his soon-to-be-released album, Harry’s House. Not only that, he felt like the cherry on top would be perfect if he brought Shania Twain on stage. Yes, you read that right. Both of them shared their sweet bond as fellow artists and adored each other.
4. Anitta Became the First Brazilian Singer in Coachella
What can be more proud of than being able to represent your country in front of millions or even billions of people? Yes exactly, that glorious moment happened to Anitta last weekend. The 29-year-old singer shared the stage with some of the most well-known names in the music industry. She performed Onda Diferente with Snoop Dogg, as the two shared the single that was released in 2019. Anitta wore a selection of outfits in which the colors and patterns represented her country, Brazil. Speaking of special guests, the singer was humbled as she was given the opportunity to stand along with Saweetie and Diplo on stage.
5. Justin Bieber Joined Daniel Caesar
The R&B singer and Grammy winner, Daniel Caesar, didn’t want to miss the momentum in giving surprises to fans during Coachella’s first week. After performing his not-yet-to-be-released single Please Do Not Lean with his majestic voice, Caesar invited Justin Bieber to the stage. The two of them performed the Justice single, Peaches. What elevated the already perfect moment even more was probably the fact that Justin Bieber went shirtless with only jeans and a red hat―in our defense that it became even harder for everyone to not focus on these duo on stage.
