Addison Rae's 'Fame and Glory Show' Dazzles Coachella with Maddie Ziegler Cameo
Addison Rae delivered her first full-length performance at Coachella, showcasing pop glamour and avant-garde drama, highlighted by a special appearance from Maddie Ziegler.
Addison Rae brought her pop girl glamour to Coachella on Saturday night, delivering her first full-length performance at the music festival. As promised, the festival set was a departure from her recent live performances but still brought all the avant-garde drama the singer is known for.
The set opened with “Diet Pepsi,” as the screen displayed “The Fame and Glory Show.” Her dancers sported black jackets branded with “fame,” while Rae donned a boa made of hundreds during “Money Is Everything.”
During “Aquamarine,” she welcomed Maddie Ziegler to the stage. The famed dancer twirled, dropped, and enraptured the crowd in a flowing white ensemble, while Rae contrasted her in bright red latex.
Red was a recurring theme throughout the set, from red sirens to a red brooch on her first outfit, and the red pom poms her dancers shook.
Rae warmed up the stage for tonight’s headliner, Justin Bieber, slipping on a purple hoodie for “Headphones On” and asking fans, “You here for JB?” She quipped, “Just kidding, I’m here for Justin Bieber.”
She shared the sense of stardom with a fan during her remix of Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch,” recruiting one to lead the song’s signature scream. Making her way to the crowd, she broke some rules, asking, “Can I go in here?” then immediately adding, “Oops! I’m doing it.”
Last week, Rae teased that this show would be different from her recent live performances on tour. “This show is not really #TheAddisonTourShow anymore….. it’s #TheFameAndGloryShow. Sort of a 2.0. Starts at Coachella and finishes in Poland,” she wrote on Instagram. “You don’t want to miss it!!!!!”
Rae’s set on Saturday marked her first full-length solo performance at Coachella. In 2023, she joined Arca’s set as a surprise guest to sing “Arcamarine,” the remix of Rae’s “Aquamarine.” Rae also made an album announcement, wearing a see-through white dress and hot pink underwear with the release date for her self-titled debut album written on them. At one point, Rae turned around to show the crowd the date.
She detailed how she prepared for a record label meeting with a binder full of ideas in her Rolling Stone cover story last year. “I made a slideshow … I just mood-boarded my vibes. I literally had no music to play him at that point, so it was about trust. Like, ‘Yes, I’m in the clouds, and I enjoy being there. But I’m also serious.’”
