(Epic) Zara Larsson surprised Coachella Weekend 2 audiences by joining PinkPanthress during the U.K. sensation's blowout set in the Mojave tent. Zara performed her soaring dance-pop hit "Midnight Sun," complete with that legendary vocal run, while the crowd did its best to keep up as they sang along.
Zara also took the opportunity to announce the upcoming Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, due to arrive May 1 on Epic Records / Sommer House. The stunning cover art shows the Swedish powerhouse atop a hot pink hot rod on the open road.
In addition to cementing the creative chemistry between the two artists, the euphoric onstage moment was the cherry on top of a massive week for Zara who just racked up five American Music Award nominations: Breakthrough Pop Artist; Breakthrough Album of the Year for 2025's acclaimed Midnight Sun; Social Song of the Year for her viral hit "Lush Life," and both Song of the Summer and Collaboration of the Year for "Stateside," her currently ascendant team-up with, yes, PinkPantheress.
Though we're only four months into 2026, Zara's Coachella victory lap already feels overdue. She scored her career-first GRAMMY nomination in February for "Midnight Sun" (Best Dance Pop Recording). And her album of the same helped propel what Billboard recently called "a major Hot 100 comeback," as she currently has three hit songs climbing the chart: "Midnight Sun" (#39), "Lush Life" (peaking at #35, with a music video that's approaching 1 billion views), and "Stateside" (#6), which also hit #1 on the Billboard Global 200 and Spotify's Global Top 50 after U.S. figure-skating champ Alysa Liu performed a routine to the song during an exhibition performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
