<p>BINI is still in awe following their successful first weekend and debut at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2026, where they were met with unwavering Filipino support and surprisingly massive crowd despite their early set time.</p><p>In an interview with ABS-CBN News, the Nation’s Girl Group opened up about their initial doubts and eventual wonder upon seeing the sea of people gathered for them.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/events/2026/4/11/bini-performs-pantropiko-karera-shagidi-and-more-in-high-energy-coachella-debut-0834"><strong>READ: BINI performs ‘Pantropiko,’ ‘Karera,’ ‘Shagidi,’ and more in high-energy Coachella debut</strong></a></div><p>BINI performed 10 songs during their 45-minute set at the Mojave Stage, the second-largest tent in the festival, on April 10 at 4:15 p.m. (PDT) or April 11 at 7:15 a.m. (Philippine time). </p><p>According to the octet, they did not expect such a large audience, especially with their afternoon schedule, as Coachella crowds are typically bigger at night. Still, they managed to draw a jam-packed audience composed of both Filipino and international festival goers.</p><p>Sheena revealed that before stepping on stage, they were even checking their phones and wondering if people would show up given the early time slot and the intense heat.</p><p>“Pero nung pumasok kami nung intro ng ‘Shagidi’, punong-puno. Nakataas ‘yung Philippine flag, ang daming Blooms, ang daming casuals. We just can’t believe na ganoon kadaming tao ang nag-abang sa amin,” she expressed.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMJFelipeABSCBN%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02ZgDWDKGJenF1drEJHyeHrwb1YVwGkgUkc8e7fiPnhnxMsFJ3xvVRbdK1v2PuRhmtl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/4/11/bini-brings-filipino-humor-with-eyy-and-uy-pilipins-to-coachella-1133"><strong>READ: BINI brings Filipino humor with ‘Eyy!’ and ‘Uy, Pilipins!’ to Coachella</strong></a></div><p>Inside the Mojave tent, Blooms waved Philippine flags and even their Bloombilyas, the group’s official lightstick.
