Filipino girl group BINI remains in awe after learning that they will perform at Coachella 2026.
The booking marks a major milestone for the group.
BINI will become the first Filipino act to perform at one of the world’s most influential music festivals.
In a statement to Billboard, the group said the opportunity once felt like a distant dream.
“When we were on the Zach Sang Show earlier this year, we said out loud that we dreamed of performing at Coachella and now it’s really happening,” the group said.
“To see that manifestation come true is beyond surreal. Being part of the 2026 lineup isn’t just a milestone for BINI, it’s a moment for Filipino music and for everyone who has believed in us since the beginning.
“We can’t wait to bring our music and our culture to the desert stage.”
BINI ‘so happy’ to join line-up
BINI also revealed that they initially thought the lineup poster was fan-made.
However, the group soon checked Coachella’s official page and confirmed the announcement.
“We’re just so happy—BINI, our team, our glam team, everyone’s thrilled for us,” member Colet said in an interview with ABS-CBN.
“We’ve always wanted to perform at Coachella, so thank you so much, Lord.”
BINI features Jhoanna, Aiah, Gwen, Colet, Stacey, Maloi, Mikha and Sheena.
The group now plans to increase its rehearsal time.
As a result, the members can prepare for one of the biggest performances of their career.
They also want to represent Filipino talent proudly on the global stage.
BINI will perform in April alongside major names such as Sabrina Carpenter, Nine Inch Noize, The xx and Disclosure.
KATSEYE will also join the festival lineup.
BINI’s growing influence at home and abroad
With millions of followers across social media, BINI has built a strong connection with their fans, known as Blooms, especially in the Philippines.
Last year, the group was named Billboard Philippines’ No. 1 Artist of the Year as part of Billboard’s Global No. 1s series.
They also cemented their international presence this year with the successful Biniverse World Tour 2025, which took them to stages in New York, Dubai, Canada, and London.
BINI beyond music
Earlier this year, BINI expanded their artistry beyond the stage with the launch of BINI Cosmetics, a line that was warmly welcomed by their fans.
In an interview with Billboard, the group explained that the line was designed to inspire confidence.
“(Through our makeup) we want people to feel seen, to feel confident doing their own thing, whether you wear makeup every day or just sometimes. It’s for everyone, no filters, no limitations,” BINI said.
