They performed 10 songs during their 45-minute set at the Mojave stage of the festival, held in Indio, California, which drew music fans from all over the world.
BINI opened with “Shagidi,” then moved through “Zero Pressure” and “Out Of My Head.” They brought the crowd to their feet with Filipino favorites “Karera” and “Salamin, Salamin,” before delivering “Blink Twice” and “Cherry on Top.” The set also featured the live debut of new track “Blush,” followed by “Bikini,” and a rousing finale with “Pantropiko.”
Throughout the set, members Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena took moments to express their gratitude for the chance to represent the Philippines on one of music’s grandest stages.
“We are so grateful to be here to represent the Philippines on a global stage and to share with you guys our music,” said Aiah.
“Being here with all of you has been the sweetest ‘cherry on top’ of our journey so far,” shared Maloi.
Fan support flooded in before, during, and after the performance, which was livestreamed live on the official Coachella YouTube channel.
#BINI_CoachellaWk1 shot to the top of worldwide trending topics on X, topping charts in the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates, reaching #2 in Canada and Singapore, #5 in Australia, and #6 in both Puerto Rico and the United States.
Several other BINI-related topics also trended, including Pinoy Pride, BINICHELLA, Mojave, Walo, Blink Twice, Salamin Salamin, Karera, Zero Pressure, Cherry on Top, Shagidi, and Pantropiko. The headline “BINI Makes History as First All-Filipino Act at Coachella 2026” further trended under X’s Today’s News section.

Back home, fans — known as Blooms — gathered for watch parties across Metro Manila and surrounding cities, organized by the fan group BLOOM Philippines.
BINI is set to return to the Coachella stage for their second weekend performance on Saturday, April 18 (PHT).
