Ariana Grande brought out ‘NSYNC for her first of two headline performances at Coachella festival in Indio, California.
In a set that appeared to be plagued with mic issues, the 25-year-old pop star hosted the boyband and other guests including Diddy and Nicki Minaj.
The show opened with a performance of “God Is a Woman” before going into “Bad Idea,” the single from her latest album thank u, next.
This was followed by a rendition of Grande’s hit “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” which samples the *NSYNC hit “It Makes Me Ill” from their 2000 album, No Strings Attached.

These two relaxed festival goers are a picture-perfect pair in terms of their ensembles. While one has gone for a classic swimwear and tank top combination, the other has opted for colourful hair and sequins, all of which are key staples of any good festival wardrobe.
