All the Coachella 2024 Surprise Guest Performances, from Justin Bieber to Will Smith (2024)

Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish

Lana Del Rey kicked off Coachella weekend one with a memorable set that featured three guest appearances by fellow collaborators and hit-making friends during her headlining set on Friday night.

Jon Batiste was the first artist to join Del Rey on the Main Stage to sing an extended version of “Candy Necklace.” The multi-instrumentalist dazzled on the piano, while Del Rey sat atop it and sang.

Del Rey then welcomed Billie Eilish to the stage after Batiste. She surprised the crowed with an unpredicted performance of her 2016 hit "Ocean Eyes" before singing Del Rey's "Video Games" right after.

Towards the end of Del Rey's set, Jack Antonoff played piano on stage while she appeared as a hologram to perform “Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me — but I Have It.”

(Antonoff and his band Bleachers are on the Coachella lineup and perform Saturday night.)

Bizarrap and Shakira

Bizarrap took over the Sahara tent with a high-energy, rave-like set — while sporting his signature hat and sunglasses — on Friday night. Amid his live DJ set, the Argentine producer surprised the already-amped crowd by welcoming Shakira to the stage.

The global superstar joined him about halfway through his set to perform “La Fuerte," a surprise that was topped by an announcement made right after the performance.

Shakira then revealed she's setting out on a world tour. "Finally we’re going on tour — starting here, in November! Can't wait!” she announced on stage.

Peso Pluma and Becky G

Peso Pluma was joined by Becky G on the Main Stage on Friday night, one year after the pop star brought the Mexican singer out for a surprise performance during her Coachella set in 2023. They performed their song "Chanel."

Junior H also joined Peso Pluma on stage for “El Azul,” followed bySanta Fe Klanfor “No Son Klle” andArcángelfor “Peso Completo."

No Doubt and Olivia Rodrigo

Gwen Stefani and No Doubt's slot on the lineup was enough to shock music lovers when Coachella first announced they'd be reuniting for the first time in nine years. Fast forward to their Saturday night set, they continued to surprise fans by welcoming Olivia Rodrigo to the stage for a song.

The "Driver's License" hitmaker, who recently wrapped the first leg of her anticipated "Guts Tour," joined Stefani and the band for a back-and-forth rendition of "Bathwater."

Rodrigo showcased her fangirl for the iconic rock-punk group by wearing an "I heart ND" tee.

Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky

In classic Tyler the Creator fashion, he kept fans intrigued from start to finish of his headlining set on Saturday night. Between making an entrance via zip-line dressed as a park ranger to casually eating a sandwich on stage, the "EARFQUAKE" rapper put on a show.

Dance moves featuring fancy footwork and hysterical-banter aside, Tyler surprised guests further with guest appearances. Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover), A$AP Rocky, Charlie Wilson and the highly-anticipated Kali Uchis each joined him on stage.

Gambino joined Tyler for “Running Out of Time." Rocky came out for "Potato Salad" and “Who Dat Boy.” Charlie Wilson joined him for "Earfquake” and Uchis for “See You Again."

Also, Rihanna shocked fans as she made her way through the crowd with Rocky to watch the rest of Tyler's set.

Vampire Weekend and Paris Hilton

Vampire Weekend was a last-minute add to the Coachella lineup this year, an addition that was announced when the set times were revealed the day before the festival began.

What was even more of a surprise was the guest they brought out as they rocked through their collection of hits — including "This Life," "Diane Young" and "A-Punk" — was a cameo from Paris Hilton, who popped up on stage for a game of corn hole while frontman Ezra Koenig and the band jammed through a medley of fan-favorite songs.

Sublime and Jakob Nowell

Late Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell's son Jakob made his official debut as the band's new singer atCoachellaon Saturday. He was joined by original members Bud Gough and Eric Wilson, whom Bradley tapped to be his son's co-godfathers.

“This is my family,” Jakob told PEOPLE on the eve of his anticipated set. “I consider the bandmates in Sublime my uncles.”

The family energy was felt when the group took the stage for their set that brought the California-cool, laid-back vibes to the festival as they jammed through hits — old and new — like "Badfish" and "What I Got" as the sun set behind them.

After performing "Doin Time" for the first time since 1996, Jakob and Sublime closed their Coachella set with '90s classic "Santeria" while visuals of surf scenes and sunsets filled the screens behind them.

J Balvin and Will Smith

J Balvin’s Sunday night Coachella performance was — wait for it — out of this world. The Colombian superstar put on an intergalactic-themed show on a laser-filled stage — and yes, an enormous inflatable alien. On trend, he continued to shock the crowd with surprise guest Will Smith, who rapped the iconic theme to Men in Black (and dressed the part, too)!

Doja Cat and 21 Savage

Headliner Doja Cat had fans’ jaws drop from start to finish when she closed on Coachella Sunday night. Not only did she kick off her performance in a full hazmat suit before stripping down to a bikini and thong (and floor-length hair before her wig was snatched off), but she surprised the crowd by welcoming A$AP Rocky and 21 Savage to the stage.

TEMS and Justin Bieber

TEMS welcomed Justin Bieber to the stage, reunited to perform "Essence" alongside Wizkid during the Nigerian singer-songwriter's Sunday night.

"Give it up for Justin, the legend," TEMS shouted from the stage.

Prior to her performance, TEMS teased the excitement to fans on X: “Coachella! I’m too exciteddd I have a surprise tonight."

Reneé Rapp and Kesha

Reneé Rapp performed a cover of Kesha's "TikTok" during her set, and further suprised the crowd with the "TikTok" singer herself! Kesha joined the Mean Girls actress on stage dressed in an "I am mother shirt."

Mia Moretti and Katy Perry

Mia Moretti's debut DJ set in the desert turned up the heat when she brought out her longtime pal Katy Perry to the DoLab stage. The "California Girl" hitmaker showed her support for the artist by shooting Moretti-branded dollar bills from a money gun into the pumped-up crowd.

Bebe Rexha and David Guetta

Bebe Rexha's Coachella performance on Sunday night was hit-filled, performing songs like "I'm a Mess" and "Meant to Be." As she closed her set, she paid an emotional tribute to David Guetta for supporting her throughout her career before welcoming the French DJ and producer himself to the stage to perform chart-topper "I'm Good."
