All the Special Guests Who Surprised Fans at Coachella

From Billie Eilish to LL Cool J to Peso Pluma, here’s everyone who made an unexpected appearance in the desert this weekend

So much of what makes Coachella exciting is the element of surprise, and the festival wouldn’t be what it is if performers didn’t pack their sets with unexpected guests for fans who high-tailed to the desert this weekend. The big reveals started on Day One: Three 6 Mafia shocked the crowd with a rolodex of artists, including Project Pat, Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, and Wiz Khalifa. Punk legends The Go-Gos extended a stage invite to Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong (who headlined with his band on Saturday night), and Tyla delighted fans by having Becky G alongside her as she sang their collaboration “On My Body.” Benson Boone, meanwhile, teamed up with Queen’s Brian May, who played guitar during renditions of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Beautiful Things” that showed off the rising hitmaker’s astonishing vocal range.

That was just the first day. Across three days, even more stars came out to amp up the crowd and add something special to every set. On the second night, things got even more unpredictable — and even political at certain moments. Charli XCX celebrated her brat era with Lorde and Billie Eilish, and Clairo kicked off her show by having Bernie Sanders arrive onstage to rebuke the Trump administration. And on the third day, Addison Rae hoped onstage while performing with Arca to announce that her debut album will drop on June 6th, while Megan Thee Stallion packed her set with girl power by bringing on Queen Latifah, Victoria Monét, and Ciara.

Here’s everyone who came out during both weekends of the festival.
