The Best Surprise Performances at Coachella This Year


From Billie Eilish to Olivia Rodrigo to Shakira, here are some of the most unexpected guests from the festival’s first weekend

The first weekend of Coachella 2024 wrapped on Sunday, capping off a jam-packed few days filled with A-list performances and surprise guests. In addition to a stacked lineup that featured tons of acts we were counting down to see, some of pop music’s biggest stars made the festival even more memorable by popping in for unexpected appearances onstage: Shakira shocked the crowd and announced a gigantic world tour during Argentinean producer Bizarrap’s set; Olivia Rodrigo pulled up to belt out “Bathwater” with Gwen Stefani during No Doubt’s spectacular reunion; and 21 Savage, Teezo Touchdown, and A$AP Rocky all came out when Doja Cat shut things down on the last night of Weekend One.

There’s still another whole weekend coming up, but here are some of the best surprise moments that have made Coachella 2024 particularly unforgettable so far.
