Unexpected Appearance by Will Smith at Coachella, Performing ‘Men in Black’ with J. Balvin
Will Smith surprised fans at Coachella by joining Latin star J Balvin on stage for a themed performance centered around UFOs. Dressed in full “Men in Black” attire, complete with iconic sunglasses, Smith and Balvin performed the title track from the 1997 sci-fi action film. The performance was short but impactful, with Smith using a “Neuralyzer” to end the set, referencing the memory-eraser device from the movie.
Balvin, known for his extravagant stage presence, rose from a platform under a giant mock-UFO during the performance. His dancers, dressed in alien costumes with big green and black eyes, added to the spectacle. This was not Balvin’s first time performing at Coachella, as his set in 2019 helped showcase the growing presence of Latin music at the festival.
The Colombian artist expressed pride in seeing so many Spanish-speaking artists perform at one of the world’s biggest music festivals. J Balvin and his peers have played a crucial role in bringing Latin music to Coachella and electrifying the audience year after year. Their impact has paved the way for more diverse and vibrant performances at the festival.
