BINI Brings Multilingual Intros and Explosive Performances to Coachella Week 2

BINI returned to Coachella Week 2 on April 18, 2026 (PH Time) louder, prouder, and with even more Filipino energy lighting up the Mojave Stage. From the opening beat to the final bow, cheers grew stronger, Philippine flags waved higher, and the desert turned into a celebration of Filipino music and identity.

Warrior Opening and Instant Crowd Energy

BINI kicked off their set with “Strings”, stepping out in red, blue, and black warrior-inspired outfits, paired with knee-high silver boots. The powerful opening, with the member roll call woven into the “Strings” performance itself, immediately ignited the crowd. Near the end of the track, the group made a quick costume change, switching into metallic pink-and-purple outfits.

The energy carried straight into “Zero Pressure” and “Out Of My Head”, with louder cheers building as the Mojave Stage filled with excitement.

Filipino Languages Echo Across the Desert

The crowd roared even louder when BINI introduced themselves using multiple Filipino dialects and languages, proudly representing different regions of the Philippines.

• Maloi: “Ala eh! Pagkakasalida, ako ho si Maloi!”
• Sheena: “Kumusta Coachella! I’m Sheena!”
• Gwen: “Marhay na hapon, Coachella. I’m Gwen. Oragon!”
• Aiah: “Coachella, shagit og kusog! My name is Aiah!”
• Stacey: “Coachella! Naimbag nga aldaw kanyayo amin. I’m Stacey!”
• Jhoanna: “Isang magandang hapon, ako po si Jhoanna!”
• Mikha: “What’s up, Coachella! It’s Mikha!”
• Colet: “Maayong hapon, Coachella! I’m Colet!”

As they declared they were from the Philippines, chants of “BINI!”, “Pilipinas!” and “Philippines!” echoed across the desert while Philippine flags waved throughout the audience.

Turning the Desert Into a Filipino Celebration

 BINI kept the momentum going with “Karera”, “Salamin Salamin”, “Blink Twice”, and “Cherry On Top”, delivering nonstop energy that had fans dancing and cheering with every beat. Afterward, Maloi shared a heartfelt message, calling the moment the sweetest “cherry on top” of everything they had dreamed of. Mikha then taught the crowd the Filipino “Ey!” gesture, sparking an even louder response.

BINI launched into “Blush”, the key track from their new Signals EP, transforming the Mojave Stage into a full island celebration. The party energy soared higher with “Bikini” and “Pantropiko”, as cheers grew louder and more Philippine flags appeared across the crowd.

A Proud Filipino Success at Coachella

As chants of “BINI! BINI!” filled the desert, the group delivered their closing messages, proudly saying, “Mabuhay ang musikang Pilipino!” (Long live Filipino music!) The members bowed together as the Philippine flag was shown on screen, prompting the crowd to cheer even louder.

BINI’s Coachella Week 2 performance wasn’t just a return. It became a proud and powerful Filipino moment on a global stage, as BINI once again turned the desert into a celebration of the Philippines.
