Coachella 2019: Katy Perry makes surprise appearance with Zedd at California festival

Katy Perry surprised fans with a performance at Coachella last night, joining producer Zedd on the main stage at the US music festival.

Perry appeared to huge cheers from the crowd in Indio, California to perform her recent collaboration with Zedd, “365”.

The pop star and American Idol judge said she “used to sneak in” to the festival, adding: “I’ve been doing Coachella for about 17 years.”

She had earlier teased her appearance on Twitter by telling fans to tune into the Coachella live stream.

Perry had earlier been spotted with fiance Orlando Bloom and tweeted: “Feel like I’ve been doing full looks at Coachella for as long as some of these people have been alive.”

The festival takes place each year over two weekends in Indio, California and regularly attracts some of the biggest artists to perform.

This year’s headliners are Childish Gambino, Tame Impala and Ariana Grande. Other names on the lineup include Janelle Monae, The 1975, Diplo and Billie Eilish.
