All the Coachella 2024 Surprise Guest Performances, from Billie Eilish to Shakira

Would it really be Coachella without the surprise guests?

The 2024 music and artists festival kicked off its annual two-weekend run in Indio, California, on Friday — and, as expected, this year's lineup wowed the crowed with electric performances and unexpected appearances on stage.

Headliner Lana Del Rey kicked off Coachella weekend with a dreamy hit-filled set that featured songs like "Summertime Sadness" and "Doin' Time." This marked Del Rey's return to the Coachella stage for the first time in a decade — "exactly 10 years ago to the day," she told the crowd.

Del Rey surprised festivalgoers in more ways than one, between making her way to the Main Stage on motorcycle through the crowd of thousands before welcoming major star power like Billie Eilish to join her in dueting "Video Games" and Ocean Eyes."

Argentine producer Bizarrap brought the energy during his hour-long DJ set at the Sahara tent, including a show-stopping surprise that brought the already-amped up crowed to a rupture with an appearance from his collaborator — and global superstar — Shakira.

The music-filled weekend continues on Saturday with another stacked lineup, including headliners Tyler, the Creator on Saturday night and Doja Cat on Sunday. Plus, apromised reunionwill occur withGwen Stefaniand her bandNo Doubtas they take the stage for the first time since 2015.

Read on for all the artists who made surprise guest appearances during Coachella weekend one so far.

irst 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.”

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 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 by Santa Fe Klan for “No Son Klle” and Arcángel for “Peso Completo."
