Iconic set pieces and bold guest appearances define Doja Cat’s headlining performance at Coachella, making it a night to remember

Doja Cat, known for her eclectic style and bold artistic vision, captivated the audience with her headlining performance at Coachella 2024, despite the chilly desert night. Her set, marked by a series of theatrical and audacious moments, underscored her status as a major music festival headliner.

The performance featured a range of elaborate props, including a giant Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that chased her across the stage, adding a playful and surreal touch to her set. The apex of her show included transforming the stage into a mud pit during her closing song “Wet Vagina,” where Doja and her dancers embraced the theme with exuberant abandon, diving into the muck.

Doja Cat also debuted her new song “MASC” live, with Teezo Touchdown joining her on stage to deliver his verse amidst a unique set design that included microphones embedded in bouquets of flowers. Their chemistry was palpable, bringing the song to life in a way that resonated with the crowd.

Guest appearances were a highlight of the night, with 21 Savage and A$AP Rocky joining Doja to perform their collaborations. However, it was the appearance of The Joy, a South African a cappella group, that stood out. Their performance in Zulu, coupled with their harmonious vocals, added a profound layer of cultural depth and emotion to the evening.

Doja Cat’s fashion choices were as striking as her performance. She began the show in a hazmat suit, which she shed to reveal a long blonde wig that flowed down to her knees. Throughout the night, she changed into various eye-catching outfits, including a fur bikini and a reflective bodysuit, each complementing the eccentric vibe of her show.

Her ability to blend high-energy dance routines with these bold fashion statements and innovative stage design truly set her Coachella performance apart. As only the second Black woman to headline the festival, Doja Cat not only met the high expectations set by Beyoncé’s historic 2018 performance but also stamped the event with her unique brand of creativity and flair
