Karol G gave fans another memorable headlining set on the final day of Coachella’s 2026 return to the desert, complete with surprise guests including Peso Pluma and Becky G.

The Grammy-winning Complex cover alum also brought out J Balvin and Ryan Castro during her performance on Sunday (April 19), not to mention tucked in a tour announcement. Both this performance and its weekend one counterpart stand as historic moments for Karol G, whose most recent album, Tropicoqueta, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in June of last year.

“I am Carolina Giraldo from Medellin, Colombia,” she told weekend one attendees when underscoring the gravity of the moment, as previously reported. “And today, I am the first Latina woman to headline Coachella.”

The celebration, as seen in select clips below, continued for the second weekend, which again saw Karol G joined on the Indio lineup by fellow headliners Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter.

Serving as the opening number of her set was “LATINA FOREVA,” a song off the aforementioned Tropicoqueta album, which was met with critical praise upon its release last year.

By the time you read this, Becky G’s sophomore album will be streaming worldwide, a genre-bending project called Esquemas. The Mexican American megastar is responsible for some of today’s biggest Latin hits, but she didn’t always glide between two cultures so easily. “I failed Spanish in school,” she tells Bustle, “because it was Spaniard Spanish. It wasn’t Chicana Spanish, where we use words like marqueta for ‘market,’ which I literally learned two weeks ago isn’t a real word.”

Born Rebbeca Marie Gomez, the California native found mainstream success at 17 years old with “Shower,” a sugar-sweet pop single that reached certified multiplatinum status. “That’s when I realized, wow, if I don’t conquer this fear of speaking Spanish [imperfectly], I’m never going to accomplish something that’s always been a dream of mine,” says the singer-songwriter, who’s now 25. “I’d always dreamt of doing Spanish music.”

Her insecurities nearly stopped her in her tracks, but she worked with songwriters to hone her linguistic skills — people like Saul Alexander Castillo Vasquez, Steven Dominguez, and Martin Rodriguez Vincente — before releasing her first Spanish single in 2016, “Sola.”

Now, after six years, 14 awards, and an acclaimed 2019 debut album, Gomez is ready for her next act. Esquemas (“Schemes” in English), which was recorded entirely in Spanish, began its rollout in March with the TikTok-viral “Mamiii,” featuring Colombian songstress Karol G. At Coachella, the latter invited Gomez onstage to perform the track live for the first time.
