BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — British singer and producer PinkPantheress delivered one of the most talked-about performances of Coachella 2026’s second weekend, taking the Mojave stage on Saturday, April 18, in Tieks ballet flats.
Known for hits including “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2,” “Stateside,” and “Illegal,” PinkPantheress performed a nearly hour-long set featuring multiple surprise appearances. Zara Larsson joined her on stage for “Midnight Sun,” while Janelle Monáe, DJ Ninajirachi, Chase Infiniti, and Tyriq Withers appeared throughout the performance. During the set, Withers marked the occasion of PinkPantheress’s birthday with a rose presentation as dancers revealed a celebratory sign to the crowd.
Throughout the performance, PinkPantheress wore two styles of Tieks by Gavrieli ballet flats—Cobalt Blue and Cardinal Red—crafted from Italian leather. The bold color choices complemented her signature aesthetic, which blends Y2K influences with a contemporary London style.
