Benson Boone didn’t just step into Coachella — he launched himself there, flipping straight off the Grammy’s stage piano and landing in the desert like it was all part of the choreography. And while he made it look effortless, we couldn’t stop sweating at the thought of trying it ourselves (spoiler: necks would be broken).
During the first Coachella weekend, April 11–13, Benson showed up dressed to impress in Dolce & Gabbana florals, shared the stage with actual rock royalty Brian May of Queen, and dropped a surprise announcement: his sophomore album, American Heart, is officially on the way. If the title rings a bell, it’s because he performed the title track mid-set like the smooth marketing genius he is. The album drops June 20 — mark your calendars and pre-save like your playlist depends on it.
But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, there’s still a whole second weekend of Coachella to dance through. So if you’ve been living under a (glitter-covered) rock, here’s Benson’s setlist to get you caught up:
- ‘Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else’
- ‘Cry’
- ‘Drunk In My Mind’
- ‘There She Goes’
- ‘Slow It Down’
- ‘Forever and a Day’
- ‘Mystical Magical’ (live debut)
- ‘In the Stars’
- ‘Young American Heart’ (Unreleased – Extended Outro)
Encore
- ‘Bohemian Rhapsody‘ (Queen cover) (with Brian May)
- ‘Beautiful Things’ (with Brian May) (Extended Outro)
What was your favorite moment from Benson’s Coachella set? The backflip entrance? The Brian May cameo? The floral fit that deserved its own encore? Whatever had you screaming, let us know on socials — we’re talking Twitter, Instagram, Facebook… carrier pigeon if you’re feeling retro. We’ll be waiting. 👀✨
