\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tCoachella 2024 was the year of the A-list guests. Across all three days, top stars made appearances either onstage or in the crowd to support their musician besties. Olivia Rodrigo joined No Doubt<\/a>, Will Smith pulled up for J Balvin<\/a>, Justin Bieber sang with Tems, Billie Eilish threw a last-minute party at the DoLab stage, and Shakira even announced a world tour <\/a>during Bizarrap’s set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tThe talk among some festivalgoers ahead of Coachella suggested that this year’s lineup might underwhelm, but the number of stars joining their friends onstage surely helped with that. Plus, the headlining sets from Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, and Tyler, the Creator surely did not<\/em> disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tThat’s a wrap on Weekend One! Here are some of the best things we saw at Coachella on Sunday, April 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\tDoja Cat’s post-apocalyptic performance<\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\tDoja Cat brought a hard-nosed, hot-blooded spectacle, conceived of pure, unadulterated id. Doja opened with a sample from Madonna’s biting 1994 anthem “Human Nature” \u2014 then blazed through several tracks off her 2023 album, Scarlet<\/em>, such as “Agora Hills” and “Paint the Town Red.” Sampling Dionne Warwick’s 1964 classic, “Walk On By,” the latter became Doja’s first Number One hit as a soloist last September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tDoja also welcomed 21 Savage<\/a>, who rapped opposite her in the 2024 track, “H. N. I. E.” Bashfully wielding a bouquet of baby’s breath, Teezo Touchdown<\/a> joined Doja for a live debut of their song “Masc,” as featured in Scarlet 2 CLAUDE<\/em>, the deluxe edition of Scarlet<\/em>, which dropped last week. A$AP Rocky<\/a> also emerged from backstage, raring to throw down to a metal version of their brand new song, “URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tDoja omitted her most poppy of songs from her setlist, including “Say So,” “Woman,” and “Kiss Me More,” her Grammy-winning pop number with SZA. As Los Angeles’ biggest female hip-hop star to date, Doja chose instead to flex her precision as an MC, spitting fire in each verse without missing a single beat. \u2013S.E.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\tJ Balvin\u2019s new beginning<\/strong>\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\tWhat better way to start a new era than with a career-defining Coachella set?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tJ Balvin delivered one of the best-produced, most exciting sets of the weekend Sunday night, as he danced alongside aliens and brought out the<\/em> alien exterminator himself \u2014 Will Smith, dressed in his Men in Black <\/em>Agent J role, for a rendition of the film’s theme song. Jada Pinkett Smith (dressed in a large fur coat) and Katy Perry were among the stars who watched the E.T.-abduction-themed performance from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tBacked by dancers in Lady Gaga-esque, otherworldly outfits, Balvin jumped between recent hits such as \u201cColmillo\u201d (as he welcomed Jowell and Randy) and the Usher-sampling \u201cDientes,\u201d along with some of his older tracks like \u201cGinza\u201d and \u201cLa Canci\u00f3n\u201d that had the crowd jumping. It sure helped to have Tainy behind the turntables to keep the crowd going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\u201cEs una nueva temporada de J Balvin,\u201d he teased onstage: \u201cIt\u2019s a new season of J Balvin.\u201d \u2013T.M.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
