Katy Perry surprised fans with a performance at Coachella last night, joining producer Zedd on the main stage at the US music festival.
Perry appeared to huge cheers from the crowd in Indio, California to perform her recent collaboration with Zedd, “365”.
The pop star and American Idol judge said she “used to sneak in” to the festival, adding: “I’ve been doing Coachella for about 17 years.”
