Billie Eilish Pulls Off a Sneaky Coachella Camouflage
How a ‘Body Double’ Helped Her Explore the Festival
- Billie, set to headline the California festival this April, needed a way to sneak around the crowd while still enjoying the show.
- She gathered one of her backup dancers and turned her into a stand‑in – complete with a black wig, faux buns, a mask, and sunglasses.
- While Billie rocked a low‑key black ensemble—a black coat, a flashy traffic vest, a hood, and glasses—the swapped‑in dancer blended seamlessly with the festival goers.
- Result? No one noticed the swap, and Billie was free to roam the venue, soaking up the vibes and exploring all the hidden corners.
Glastonbury: The Youngest Headliner and a Touch of Self‑Doubt
- Now based in the UK this weekend, Billie has earned a spot on the legendary Pyramid Stage alongside icons like Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar.
- She admits feeling “undeniably undeserving” of the honor, but says that doubt only fuels her excitement.
- “It’s a once‑in‑a‑lifetime chance,” she confides. “Being asked to headline feels huge—and honestly, it makes me wonder: Why me?”
- Yet that very question leaves her stoked and determined to make the most of the opportunity.
A Woman Headlining the Pyramid Stage
- Billie’s debut at the festival back in 2019 saw her perform on the Other Stage; now she’s stepping up to the big stage.
- She’s particularly proud to be one of the few female headliners—a role that isn’t the norm in the music world.
- “Being a woman on this platform feels amazing,” she shares. “I’m excited for what’s ahead and grateful for the chance to lead.”
Bottom line: Billie’s strategic disguise at Coachella let her enjoy the festival first‑hand, while her upcoming Glastonbury headline will see her confronting her own doubts—and she’s ready to own the spotlight.
