Sabrina Carpenter posted an apology on Saturday after being confused by a fan’s expression of enthusiasm during her Coachella headlining set on Friday.

At one point during her show, Sabrina was sitting at the piano when one fan let out what’s called a zaghrouta, a vocal ululation which is performed to honor someone. As documented in video of the encounter, Sabrina said, “I think I heard someone yodel. Is that what you’re doing? I don’t like it.”

When the fan yelled, “It’s my culture!” Sabrina replied, “That’s your culture, is yodeling?”

“It’s a call of celebration,” the fan explained. “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird,” Sabrina replied.

This caused outrage on social media, as fans took Sabrina to task for being culturally insensitive.

On Saturday, Sabrina took to X to write, “my apologies i didn’t see this person with my eyes and couldn’t hear clearly. my reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm and not ill intended. could have handled it better! now i know what a Zaghrouta is! I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”

Also on Saturday, Sabrina made a surprise appearance at her Airbnb “Sabrina’s Pit Stop” pop up, located on the road to Coachella. The pit stop was primarily designed as a photo op with vintage cars, merch and custom slushies, as well as The Pretty Girl Clean-Up Crew van from her video for “House Tour.”

When Sabrina appeared, she distributed espresso-flavored slushies, of course, and took photos with fans. She also joked that the water she drenched herself with during her set-closing performance of “Tears” on Friday night was “not warm.”

Justin Bieber brought out quite a few guests during his Saturday night set at Coachella, but his most unexpected one was his younger self.

Justin started his set with songs from his 2025 albums SWAG and SWAG II, before using the laptop he’d brought onstage to pull up videos of his past hits, which he then sang along to. This made for a meta moment where Justin was singing along with YouTube, while YouTube streamed him live on its Coachella feed.

In addition to singing along with hits like “Baby,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Favorite Girl,” “Never Say Never,” “All Over the World” and “Sorry,” Justin also threw it way back, duetting with his 13-year-old self on his cover of Ne-Yo’s “So Sick,” which he’d uploaded to YouTube years before he became famous. In fact, that particular clip helped him get discovered.

“How far back do you guys go?” Justin said, referring to the fans. “Do you guys really go back, though? Like for real, for real?”

Justin also streamed some non-musical clips, including his now-legendary “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business” paparazzi rant, parts of which he recited along with himself. He even pulled up viral videos that didn’t have anything to do with him, like “Deez Nuts.”

As for the actual musical guests, Justin brought out The Kid LAROI for their hit duet “Stay,” and Tems for “I Think You’re Special.” Wizkid then joined Tems and Justin onstage for “Essence.” Justin closed the set with “Daisies,” featuring Mk.gee on guitar.

Perhaps Katy Perry summed the whole thing up best. As she stood in the crowd watching the show, she said in an Instagram Story video, “Thank God he has Premium. I don’t wanna see no ads.”

Billy Corgan made his Coachella debut Saturday, joining alt-pop artist sombr onstage for a rendition of the classic Smashing Pumpkins song “1979.”

In introducing Corgan, sombr asked the crowd, “Coachella, is it cool if I bring some f****** rock royalty on the stage right now?”

“Coachella, I want you to make the most noise for this person,” sombr continued. “It’s their first time ever appearing at Coachella.”

Corgan then took the stage to the opening riff of “1979” while giving double metal horns. While his mic was having issues at the beginning of the song, the problem was eventually fixed and he sung along with sombr while strumming his guitar.

Corgan will be headlining a festival when The Smashing Pumpkins play Lollapalooza 2026, taking place July 30 to Aug. 2 in his hometown of Chicago.

Coachella’s first night featured guest stars to spare.

Teddy Swims brought out not one, not two, but three guest stars: Joe Jonas, for “When You Look Me in the Eyes;” Vanessa Carlton, for “A Thousand Miles;” and, most surprisingly, David Lee Roth, original lead singer of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Van Halen, for a rendition of that band’s 1984 #1 hit, “Jump.”

After Teddy sang his new single “Mr. Know It All,” the sound of a doorbell chimed, and Teddy told the crowd, “I’ll get it. I wonder who it could be this time.” Swims then opened the door to Roth, shouting, “Oh my God! It’s David Lee Roth from the best f****** band of all time, Van Halen.”

Also on Friday night, HUNTR/X made a surprise appearance, joining another Grammy-nominated girl group, KATSEYE, for their Coachella set. EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna popped up to sing “Golden,” giving the song an eight-person rendition.

Sabrina Carpenter headlined Friday, fulfilling the prediction she made when she previously performed at Coachella in 2024. She took the stage with an elaborate, glamorous production dubbed “Sabrinawood.”

“I can’t believe I’m headlining Coachella!” Sabrina said, before adding, “I mean, I can a little bit, but it’s nicer to say that, right?” 

There were no musical guests during Sabrina’s set, but there were two filmed pieces featuring legendary actors. In one, Sam Elliott played a sheriff who pulls Sabrina over, while the other featured Susan Sarandon playing a grown-up version of Sabrina. Plus, Will Ferrell made a real life cameo as an electrician, and Samuel L. Jackson contributed a voiceover to “Juno.” For the set closer, “Tears,” Sabrina sang while being lifted up on a “geyser” of water.

Turnstile performed at Coachella on Friday, marking their first live show since the band’s former guitarist, Brady Ebert, was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly hitting frontman Brendan Yates’ father with a car.

The set opened with a video montage that included a message from Yates’ father, William Yates, which was seemingly filmed before the incident with Ebert.

“I’m Bill Yates, I’m the proud father of Brendan,” the elder Yates said in the video. 

“They’re all sons of mine,” he added, presumably referring to the other members of Turnstile. “To all of the fans out there, we love you and Turnstile loves you. Enjoy the ride.”

In their statement following Ebert’s arrest, Turnstile said that William Yates survived the incident and successfully underwent surgery.

“We’re hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery,” Turnstile said.

Ebert was a founding member of Turnstile, and parted ways with the band in 2022.

It appears as though The Rolling Stones have released a new song, although not under the name The Rolling Stones.

Signs for a band named The Cockroaches recently began popping up in London with a QR code that took folks to a website run by Universal Music. The site included, among other things, a photo of a T-shirt that read “Who The F*** Are The Cockroaches?”

While the website remained a mystery, many fans pointed out that The Cockroaches was an alias the Stones would use in the ’70s when they wanted to play secret shows, which started speculation that new music was on the way.

Well, on Saturday, The Cockroaches released a new song, “Rough and Twisted,” which is only available as a white label vinyl in select record stores. The Cockroaches’ Instagram Story soon began sharing video of people playing the vinyl, and it’s clear that it’s Mick Jagger singing. Many of the shared videos have tagged The Rolling Stones.

As for how people found the record, the website for The Cockroaches includes a photo of the vinyl release, which displayed GPS coordinates when flipped over, presumably indicating where the record could be purchased.

Prior to the release, The Cockroaches did drop a teaser the song on their Instagram account, and in the snippet you can clearly hear Jagger’s voice.

The most recent official Rolling Stones release is the 2023 album Hackney Diamonds. According to the U.K. Times, “Rough and Twisted” is a precursor to an upcoming new Stones album, which is reportedly due out in July.
