Karol G is the Sunday headliner at Coachella tonight (April 12), making history as the first Latina to top the main-stage billing in the festival’s 25-year history. Watch her live performance as she closes out the weekend below.
While it’s a huge occasion for Karol G to take over as a headliner, it’s not her first time performing at the festival. She first graced the dusty festival grounds back in 2022 with a star-studded set, during which she brought out J Balvin, Becky G, and others. Earlier this year, she also appeared before millions of viewers hanging out on the set of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show when he invited her to dance with other celebs for a community backdrop during one song in his medley.
Karol G’s latest album in a string of blockbuster hits was last year’s Tropicoqueta, the follow-up to her Grammy-winning Mañana Será Bonito. In 2023, that latter record became the first Spanish-language album by a woman to top the Billboard 200. She also released a single with Tainy, “Uniqa,” last year.
