AceShowbiz - PinkPantheress delivered a memorable performance during weekend two of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, marking the occasion with a star-studded birthday celebration.
The set, held at the Mojave tent, featured the frequent appearance of actor Tyriq Withers, who had also been present during weekend one. This time, however, PinkPantheress raised the excitement by inviting several high-profile guests to join her onstage throughout the night.
Among the notable appearances was Swedish pop star Zara Larsson, who fans had already spotted at Coachella earlier in the weekend. Although many expected Larsson to perform the remix of Stateside—a song she is featured on—she surprised the audience by debuting her own track from her latest album, Midnight Sun. Larsson also hinted at an upcoming deluxe edition of her album titled Girls Trip, teasing that PinkPantheress will be featured on it.
Adding to the star power, Janelle Monae made a brief but impactful appearance, playing guitar alongside PinkPantheress. Australian DJ Ninajirachi also contributed to the set, providing a platform for additional celebrity guests including actress Chase Infiniti, Manon from KATSEYE, and pop singer Slayyyter to make appearances.
The two-time Grammy nominee performed a setlist filled with fan favorites such as Stateside, Romeo, Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2, and closed with Illegal. During the final song, Withers and PinkPantheress shared the stage in a lively dance sequence, culminating in a touching birthday moment.
As the crowd cheered, Withers presented PinkPantheress with a rose while backup dancers held up a sign that read “Happy Birthday.” The pair embraced warmly before leaving the stage hand-in-hand, highlighting the personal significance of the evening amidst the festival’s energetic atmosphere.
PinkPantheress was not the only artist to attract celebrity collaborations during weekend two of Coachella. Earlier, social media personality Addison Rae was joined by singer Olivia Rodrigo on the festival’s main stage. Together, they performed Rae’s track Headphones On and gave the debut live performance of Rodrigo’s new single, Drop Dead.
Additionally, pop singer Sabrina Carpenter impressed fans during her Friday night headlining set by bringing out the legendary Madonna. The duo performed a rendition of Madonna’s classic hit Like A Prayer, a song that had recently resurged in popularity due to a viral video of actor Connor Storrie dancing to it.
The festival’s lineup continues to be packed with major names, as Justin Bieber is scheduled to headline Saturday night’s program, while Karol G will close out Coachella with a Sunday night headlining set.
Overall, weekend two of Coachella demonstrated a vibrant mix of live performances and surprise guest appearances, with PinkPantheress’s birthday celebration standing out as a highlight of the festival’s dynamic atmosphere.
