Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, Netflix

17 Apr 19 – 17 Apr 20, ON NETFLIX NOW

A new documentary revisits Beyoncé's historic 2018 Coachella concert, from its inspired inception to the glittering performance

In 2018, Beyoncé made history with her headline performance at Coachella. In 2019, this performance is being shared with the rest of the world in a new concert documentary, unlike anything that's come before – Homecoming is Beyoncé's big moment finally destined for the small screen.


The set has been described as an 'education in black expression [...and] musical history' by Doreen St. Félix in The New Yorker. Beyoncé's appeal over the years has attracted a rabid, almost religious, fanbase that spans age, class and location. But this show represented something different, as it was more in tune with her roots than what a mostly white audience at the music festival in California could begin to understand.


Homecoming captures many of these moments – the 100 dancers; the images of Malcom X, Nina Simone and Fela Kuti; the unavoidably dazzling homage to the HBCU (historically black colleges and universities), experienced through the bumblebee colours of yellow and black; and the sounds of a full marching band puncturing the silence.


If Beychella (as the concert was being dubbed even before it happened, itself a bigger event than the festival as a whole) captured an urgent moment of cultural history being made, it seems fitting, almost necessary, to spread the message far and wide – as a form of both education and entertainment simultaneously, to ripple through the white noise of washed-out, recycled art.


Relive the salient moments and unseen inspirations of the most-watched live-streamed performance of all time, when Homecoming comes to Netflix worldwide on 17 April.
