Karol G Becomes First Artist to Headline Coachella Twice
Karol G closed the first weekend of Coachella 2026 with a headline set on the main stage, becoming the festival’s first Latina headliner since its inception in 1999. The performance took place on Sunday night in Indio, California, and drew a large crowd of fans and media.
During her set, the Colombian reggaeton singer was joined by Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles, an all‑female mariachi ensemble founded in Los Angeles in 1994. The group performed “Negrita de Mis Pesares,” and Karol G joined them for a duet of “Ese Hombre es Malo” while both wore matching blue mariachi jackets.
The collaboration was highlighted on the mariachi group’s Instagram account, where they posted a video clip of the moment and celebrated the presence of women in music. Fans commented on the historic representation and praised the performance.
Karol G’s own record label shared a short video praising the show as a celebration of identity and community. The singer thanked viewers for supporting Latina culture and encouraged pride and unity. The event was widely covered by music outlets and fans who noted its significance for representation at a major international festival.
