BINI Ignites Global Buzz With Landmark Coachella Performance

ABS-CBN’s sensation BINI has reached a monumental milestone, becoming the first-ever Filipino group to grace the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The landmark performance took place on Friday, April 10 (US time) at the Mojave stage, marking a definitive moment for Pinoy Pop (P-pop) and OPM on the global stage.

The “Nation’s Girl Group” delivered an electrifying 45-minute set to a diverse international crowd, showcasing a blend of their greatest hits and fresh material.

BINI opened their debut with the high-energy track “Shagidi,” immediately followed by “Zero Pressure” and “Out Of My Head.” The group’s performance was a balance of fan favorites and brand-new surprises, including:

Representing the Philippines

In between songs, members Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena took a moment to reflect on the gravity of the occasion.

“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.

Maloi added: “Being here with all of you has been the sweetest ‘cherry on top’ of our journey so far.”
