Doja Cat headlined the closing night of Coachella 2024’s first weekend with a rap-heavy performance that surprised fans by omitting well-known pop hits like “Say So” and “Kiss Me More.” Her setlist included unexpected guest appearances by ASAP Rocky and 21 Savage, who joined her for “URRRGE!!!!!!!!!!” and “n.h.i.e,” respectively.
The show kicked off with “ACKNOWLEDGE ME” and featured a mix of hits like “Agora Hills,” “Demons,” and “WYM Freestyle.” Additionally, songs like “MASC” with Teezo Touchdown and “OKLOSER” were performed live for the first time. Attendees were treated to a visually stunning performance with a dinosaur skeleton controlled by puppeteers and backup dancers dressed as Yetis.
The finale was quintessentially Doja Cat, as she performed “Wet Vagina” knee-deep in mud before bidding farewell to the crowd. Following her set, fans took to social media to share their reviews, praising Doja’s stage presence and talent. One user commended her as a top-tier performer, acknowledging her versatility across various genres.
In a post-performance interview with Vogue, Doja Cat reflected on the significance of the show, describing it as a representation of her personal growth over the past two years. She emphasized the thematic elements of self-exploration and understanding, symbolized by the use of plastic and synthetic materials in her performance.
Looking ahead, Doja Cat is set to bring her “The Scarlet Tour” to the U.K. and Europe in June after concluding the American leg in December 2023, featuring opening acts Ice Spice and Doechii.
