Watch Billie Eilish Join Lana Del Rey For “Ocean Eyes” And “Video Games” At Coachella
Lana Del Rey headlined the first night of Coachella last night, her first performance at the festival since 2014. She brought friends. The set included appearances from Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste, and Jack Antonoff, but alas no Sublime appearance when she sang “Doin’ Time.”
Eilish — Del Rey’s fellow alt-leaning pop star, who cited her as a core influence early on — emerged for the last two songs of the main set. Seated together on an elevated platform, they sang each artist’s breakthrough song: first Eilish’s “Ocean Eyes” (the video premiered at Stereogum) then Del Rey’s “Video Games.”
Just before that, Batiste showed up to play piano and sing on “Candy Necklace,” his LDR collab from last year’s Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. During that song, Del Rey sat on top of the piano for a while and also spun on a pole. At the start of the encore, Antonoff took over piano duties for “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but i have it” while a hologram of Del Rey appeared at the front of the stage to sing, spinning in a circle à la her critically derided 2012 SNL performance. An LDR billboard on the road to Indio teased this callback. It read “HAS Anyone Else DIED FOR YOU?” with a cross and “Lana Del Rey SNL Jan 14 2012.”
The show began with “Without You,” performed for the first time since 2014. Then came “West Coast,” which debuted at Coachella in 2014 and which Del Rey hadn’t performed since 2019. The Sublime cover “Doin’ Time” followed.
