The Go-Go’s lit up Coachella with a dazzling return on Friday, marking their first live appearance since 2022. The legendary all-female rockers delivered a high-energy set filled with fan favorites, surprise moments, and emotional tributes.
A standout highlight came when Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong hit the stage to perform “Head Over Heels,” thrilling the crowd with an unexpected collaboration. The set leaned heavily into their beloved 1981 debut Beauty and the Beat, while hits like “Vacation,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” and “We Got the Beat” had the audience singing along. The latter track even featured a playful nod to Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!”
Before Coachella, the band warmed up with an intimate show at the Roxy in West Hollywood, where they honored late Blondie drummer Clem Burke. Burke had filled in for drummer Gina Schock during the band’s 2022 tour while she recovered from surgery. With Schock now back behind the kit, the Roxy show became a touching tribute to Burke’s memory, with emotional words from Belinda Carlisle, Kathy Valentine, and Schock herself.
These back-to-back performances weren’t just about nostalgia—they were a celebration of resilience, legacy, and the unbreakable bond within the Go-Go’s family.
