BINI Represents the Philippines in Historic Coachella 2026 Performance

BINI made history after becoming the first P-pop group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2026, marking a major breakthrough for Filipino music on the global stage.

The group, composed of Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Jhoanna, Stacey, Gwen, Sheena, and Mikha, performed a 45-minute set at the Mojave Tent in Indio, California, on April 10, 2026 (April 11 Philippine time). Coachella is one of the world’s biggest music festivals, drawing hundreds of thousands of attendees each year, while the Mojave Stage is known for featuring emerging and critically recognized international artists.

BINI opened their set in coordinated golden outfits with traditional-inspired salakot accents, immediately capturing the crowd’s attention. They started with “Shagidi,” followed by high-energy performances of “Zero Pressure” and “Out of My Head,” supported by smooth choreography and a costume change into blue outfits. The group introduced themselves proudly to the international audience, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to represent the Philippines and share their music on a global platform.

The performance continued with a strong lineup of songs, including “Karera,” “Salamin Salamin,” and “Blink Twice,” showcasing both their vocal ability and synchronized dance skills. The energy remained high as they performed “Cherry on Top,” followed by a mix of fan favorites that kept the crowd engaged. Mikha also led a fun crowd interaction, boosting the audience’s energy with a lively chant.

The group also debuted new tracks, “Blush” and “Bikini,” before closing their set with their hit song “Pantropiko,” which turned the venue into a massive sing-along. The performance ended with heartfelt gratitude from the group, thanking Coachella and expressing appreciation for the warm reception.
