Will Smith stunned the universe by performing one of his classic songs live for the first time in years.
On Sunday night, April 14, J Balvin hit the stage during the final hours of Coachella's first weekend. Midway through his alien-themed show, Wil Smith surprised the crowd with a rare performance of his timeless hit "Men in Black." Smith made his debut at Coachella looking just like Agent J from the 1997 film Men in Black and performed the stand-out track from the soundtrack with a mixture of fellow agents and green martians behind him. Balvin also joined in to do the infamous dance from the music video with Smith.
Will Smith and J Balvin's surprise performance wasn't the only eye-popping moment that happened in Coachella Valley over the weekend. Justin Bieber made several headlines during his time at the massive music festival. The Biebs joined Wizkid and Tems to perform their collaborative hit "Essence (Remix)" during the Nigerian singer's set on Sunday. However, hours before he hit the stage, Bieber raised eyebrows when he greeted his friend Jaden Smith with a peck on the cheek.
The weekend was full of epic moments from the biggest stars in the music industry. Lana Del Ray, Tyler, The Creator and Doja Cat headlined the three-day event. Lana delivered a slew of her iconic hits and surprised fans by bringing out Billie Eilish to perform "Ocean Eyes." Tyler, the Creator brought Camp Flog Gnaw vibes to Coachella by inviting his friends A$AP Rocky, Kali Uchis and Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino to perform with him. Funny enough, Tyler later admitted he "used to hate" 'Bino until he dropped his song "Urn" in 2013.
“I used to hate that n***a," Tyler told the crowd according to Billboard. "Seriously. I don’t know why, I gotta go to therapy to figure it out... but this n***a put this song called ‘Urn’ out…I was at conflict with myself, like…how could a n***a I hate so much make something so good?”
Meanwhile, Doja Cat impressed the masses with her closing set. She performed numerous songs from her latest albums Scarlet and Scarlet 2 CLAUDE including "URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!" with A$AP Rocky, "n.h.i.e" with 21 Savage and "MASC" alongside Teezo Touchdown. Fans were enamored with every detail of her performance including her multiple outfits.
