PinkPantheress delivered a high-profile performance during weekend two of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, bringing a series of celebrity guests on stage as part of a birthday celebration.
The “Boy’s a liar” singer returned to the Mojave tent with an expanded set that featured appearances from multiple artists and public figures. Actor Tyriq Withers, who also appeared during weekend one, once again featured prominently throughout the performance.
Speculation around Zara Larsson’s involvement had circulated earlier in the festival after she was seen on site. The Swedish singer later appeared on stage, performing the title track from her album Midnight Sun and hinting at a possible collaboration with PinkPantheress on the upcoming deluxe edition Girls Trip.

PinkPantheress performed several of her well-known tracks, including “Stateside,” “Romeo,” “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2” and “Illegal.” During the latter, Withers addressed the crowd, saying, “I really had something important to say. I know it’s Coachella, shoutout Coachella, but a birdie told me that it is your birthday,” before presenting the singer with a rose as dancers revealed a “Happy Birthday” sign.
Elsewhere at the festival, Addison Rae was joined by Olivia Rodrigo for a collaborative performance, while Sabrina Carpenter brought out Madonna during her headline set. Justin Bieber and Karol G are scheduled to close the remaining headline slots.
