Harry Styles pulled out all the stops for his first headline slot at Coachella, as he was joined on stage by the legendary Shania Twain in Indio, California on Friday.

Kicking off his set with his first ever performance of As It Was, the One Direction star, 28, also treated the crowd to two unheard hits from his upcoming album.

Shania said: ‘I’m a bit starstruck, what can I say? No, really, I’m a fan of you, of course.
‘I know that when I was writing this song, you were just a little kid. It’s kind of a dream and very surreal to be sitting here right now to sing this song with you.
‘I think I’m just in love and this song is all about love. So let’s just sing about love.’

This year’s Coachella line-up featured a massive change as earlier this month it was announced that The Weekend alongside Swedish House Mafia would be replacing Sunday night’s headliner Kanye West.
The Weeknd and the house music group – consisting of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso – have a working relationship as they collaborated on hit track Moth To A Flame together and also have the same management team SALXCO.
Gazing at the stars: The complete festival line-up is shown as it was updated earlier this month
It remains unclear how the headlining gig will work meaning whether one will perform after the other or if they will be switching off but the publication’s sources said The Weeknd’s portion will likely be shorter given the time restraints to prepare for the show.
This will also be Swedish House Mafia’s big return to the highly-popular music festival as they have not performed at it since 2012 as they disbanded in 2013 at their absolute peak of popularity.
The Weeknd first hit the Coachella stage in 2012 and then three years later in 2015. He officially headlined the festival in 2018 with Beyonce and rapper Eminem.
Party time: The festival (pictured in 2019) attracts over 250,000 attendees over two weekends to dance and rave to a wide variety of artist
Rapper Kanye, 44, was set to co-headline the annual festival with Billie Eilish and Harry, both of whom are considered pop/alternative acts, as well as house music group Swedish House Mafia.
Organizers were scrambling to salvage the long-awaited festival after Kanye announced earlier this month that he’d no longer be performing.
Kanye is said to have made the decision himself to bow out from the two weekend event.

Travis Scott was said to be appearing with Kanye – who has changed his name to Ye – and will also no longer perform, the outlet reported.
Travis had been tapped as the headline act for the festival 2020 before it was canceled due to COVID. He was then booked again for 2022 but organizers scrapped those plans after his Astroworld concert tragedy that left 10 people dead.
It remain unclear exactly why Ye had pulled out of the show so last minute. A source has claimed to Variety that West had not rehearsed or prepared for the appearance.
Top man: It was announced earlier this month that The Weeknd (seen at the Super Bowl in February 2021) will fill Kanye West ‘s headliner spot at this year’s Coachella after the rapper decided to pull out of the festival just two weeks before kick off
Even beside the headliners it is a star-studded line-up as Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby, Daniel Caesar, Phoebe Bridgers, Disclosure, Jamie XX, Run The Jewels, Big Sean, Karol G, Maggie Rogers, 21 Savage, and famed composer Danny Elfman are all set to perform.
Back in January 2021 it was announced that the highly-popular music festival in Indio, California would be returning in Spring 2022 after two years of rescheduling due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the world’s largest musical festivals, the event has been held every spring in the Coachella Valley in the Colorado desert since 1999.

After being pushed back due to the pandemic, the festival announced its long awaited return on New Year’s Day 2021 with a simple tweet that read: ‘See you in the desert.’
When the coronavirus pandemic hit the US last year the festival rescheduled from April 2020 to October 2020, before being outright cancelled for the first time in 20 years that June.
The Coachella 2020 lineup featured Frank Ocean, Rage Against the Machine, and Travis Scott as headliners, with a full lineup including Lana Del Rey, Lil Uzi Vert, Thom Yorke, Run the Jewels, Danny Elfman, FKA twigs, DaBaby, 21 Savage, Caribou, Lil Nas X, and more.
The festival was then rescheduled for April 2021 before being canceled again in January after California’s public health officer ordered Coachella to cancel the event due to continued concerns over COVID.

No longer a Bad Guy: At just 20-years-old, Billie Eilish (seen performing in Inglewood earlier this month) is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and will be headlining day 2 of the highly-popular festival
SATURDAY NIGHT: Billie Eilish
At just 20-years-old, Billie Eilish is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and will be headlining day 2 of the highly-popular festival.
She has performed at Coachella one another time in 2019 (the last time the festival was held due to COVID-19 related postponements) which was not one of her most shining moments as she notably started her set 40 minutes late, forgot lyrics to her songs, and even tripped on stage.
Eilish spoke to V Magazine last month about the tough experience on one of the biggest stages of her career as she said: ‘I really resent the things that were surrounding me during that period of time. I had that ruined for me by a person, but that’s ok.’
She did not further clarify who that person was but based on scenes from her 2021 documentary The World’s A Little Blurry, she could be referring to then-boyfriend Brandon Adams.
The Los Angeles native may be relatively young age but she is a veteran of the music industry as she first gained public attention at the age of 13 with her debut single Ocean Eyes.
She along with her older brother and fellow artist known as FINNEAS have become one of the biggest acts in music with several chart-topping hits and award recognition including seven Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, two Guinness World Records, three MTV Video Music Awards, three Brit Awards, a Golden Globe Award and even an Academy Award.
What a debut! This will mark the first time Harry Styles (seen performing at The Brit Awards in London in February) has ever performed at Coachella and it is a headlining gig

The British artist’s musical career began in 2010 as a solo contestant on British reality singing competition show X Factor as he was brought back to join the singing group after his elimination.
After the group disbanded in 2016, he released a self-titled solo album through Columbia records which debuted at number one in the UK and US in 2017.
His second album, titled Fine Line, was released in 2019 also debuted atop the charts making for the biggest first-week sales by an English male artist in chart history.
Later this year Styles will put out his third full-length album, titled Harry’s House, as he released chart topping single As It Was earlier this month to hype up the release.
