GLOBAL SUPERSTAR J BALVIN RETURNS TO THE COACHELLA MAIN STAGE WITH AN ‘OUT OF THIS WORLD’ PERFORMANCE UNDER THE DESERT STARS
14 APRIL 2024 (TORONTO, ON) – Global superstar and multi-Latin GRAMMY Award-winning artist J Balvin illuminated the desert with an otherworldly, multi-media experience during his highly anticipated return to the main stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival tonight. With a performance that truly transcended expectations, J Balvin made his ground-breaking entrance aboard a UFO, captivating the crowd with his notorious energy and iconic stage presence; creating a must-see intergalactic spectacle under the desert stars for the entirety of his one-hour set.
Opening with his iconic hit "Mi Gente," fans embarked on a galactic journey through his chart-topping albums and hits which included his latest sensation "Triple S," where he was joined by Jowell & Randy and De La Ghetto, alongside beloved fan-favourites "In Da Ghetto," "Dientes," and "I Like It." J Balvin next shocked audiences by bringing out multi Grammy award-winning rapper and Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG award-winning actor Will Smith for an out-of-this-world rendition of the iconic hit, Grammy award-winning song "Men in Black," uniting the two as the true galaxy defenders.
The stage came alive with a larger-than-life production, featuring a giant robotic alien affectionately named Enzo—a heartfelt tribute to J Balvin's cherished late dog—and a towering inflatable alien head, immersing the audience in the extraterrestrial atmosphere. Vetements customized a special performance look for J Balvin, who also rocked his unreleased Air Jordan 3 Rios, as he led a troupe of alien dancers through the electrifying lasers and fog; transporting the crowd to a realm beyond the stars.
Fans had the exclusive chance to get their hands on the debut of a limited-edition J Balvin alien-themed merch line, available for purchase via the Coachella YouTube livestream. J Balvin’s cosmic journey will continue next weekend, when he returns to Coachella’s main stage on Sunday, April 21 for another mesmerizing performance for fans in the desert.
