Coachella 2022: Highlights from Brockhampton’s final show

Hip-hop group Brockhampton returned to the Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival for their final set ever.

The group, which formed in 2010, first performed at Coachella in 2018. They described themselves as a boy band in an attempt to redefine the term, which hadn’t been as inclusive of the diversity the group brought to the table.

The band had announced in January that the pair of Coachella dates would be their final performances.

The group began their performance huddled up in a circle dressed in letterman jackets that read “All Good Things Must Come to an End.” The opening to their final set resembled a high school sports team in varsity jackets headed for the playoffs, except there was a giant inflated gorilla in the background.

The set began in chronological order, starting with “Star” and “Gold Chain” from the group’s breakout album “Saturation” before selections from follow-up albums “Saturation II” and “Saturation III.”

The middle of the set came with crowd encouragement for a mosh pit before the members realized some of their slower jams, including “Bleach” and “Summer,” were next on their setlist.

As they closed their setlist, they played “District” off of their 2018 album “Iridescence” and their single with A$AP Rocky “Bankroll.”

For their very last song as a group, Brockhampton performed “Boogie” and had the crowd jumping. After the performance, the members took a bow as a group and said their farewells.

Over the years, the hip-hop group developed lyrics focused on different aspects of their identity, from being straight, queer, Black or white, and have a handful of songs where they incorporate Spanish. Although the band is parting ways, they announced a new album slated for the year’s end.
