Zendaya, Sia, Maddie Ziegler Join Labrinth for Coachella 2023 Surprise
Zendaya joined Labrinth tonight at Coachella for the second weekend of the arts and music festival to perform their Emmy-nominated hit “I’m Tired” as well as “All of Us.”
The “Euphoria” star, wearing a pink corset top and frilly skirt, emerged shortly after the start of “I’m Tired” and delivered her vocals softly before cranking up the energy for “All of Us,” where she proceeded to dance enthusiastically around the stage.
Variety at its Best
“I’m Tired” is featured in a “Euphoria” episode titled “You Who Cannot See, Think Of Those Who Can,” from the second season of the mega-popular HBO teen drama series. Last year, the track received an Emmy nomination in the outstanding original music and lyrics category, along with Zendaya and Dominic Fike’s “Elliot’s Song,” also from “Euphoria.” (Fike is on Coachella’s lineup for Sunday.) . She wrote both songs nominated.
Also surprising the crowd was Sia for the LSD song “Thunderclouds,” from her collaboration with Labrinth and Diplo. The set was a hit on both weekends, with Sia wearing her trademark wig and Maddie Ziegler dressed in a similar costume.
Labrinth heaped praise on Sia, telling the crowd, “I wanna say I fuckin love this girl. When I first came to L.A., I was depressed and fucked up … When someone picks you up and supports you as a friend, you gotta hold them close.”
As for Zendaya’s music career, the former Disney actress released her self-titled debut a decade ago, but went on to say in March 2022, “I stepped away from music quite a while ago, for a number of reasons, but I still really love it.”
Billie Eilish joined Labrinth last weekend where the two performed their track “Never Felt So Alone.” They previously had performed the duet for Eilish’s Kia Forum concert in Los Angeles last December.
