What happened at Coachella 2018?
Solange joined Beyonce on stage during her set at Coachella in 2018 and they famously fell over as Beyonce tried to pick her up.

Ultra professionals!
How is Solange related to Beyonce?
Solange is Beyonce’s little sister.
The 32-year-old was born five years after big sis Beyonce.
The siblings are famously close and have collaborated together, with Solange joining Bey on tour and featuring in music videos such as Get Me Bodied and Naive.
In 2017 Solange made the headlines with her infamous lift fight with Beyonce’s hubbie Jay-Z, which fans speculated was the inspiration behind his album title 4:44.
When is Coachella 2019?
Coachella takes place over two three-day weekends in spring.
This year, Weekend One runs from April 12-14, and Weekend Two from April 19-21.
The line-up is the same over both weekends, so those lucky enough to have tickets won’t miss out no matter what date they’re visiting.
Where is Coachella 2019?
The annual music event is held in the Coachella Valley in the Riverside County city of Indio, near Palm Springs California.
It’s technically a metropolitan area of LA, although the desert landscape certainly makes it seem barren.
The event has five different music stages, a giant food hall and a huge camping area with its own showers, wifi, toilets, stores, phone charging stations and more.
Around 500,000 people attend the festival every year.
