Post Malone delivered a headline set to remember at Coachella’s second weekend, delighting fans with an unannounced appearance from Ed Sheeran — and an onstage toast.

The pair performed an acoustic version of Sunflower, trading vocals in a stripped-back moment that drew one of the biggest reactions of the night. After the duet, they clinked red Solo cups and shared a drink, much to the crowd’s delight.

Malone played coy after the performance, exclaiming: ‘Holy f***. I didn’t even know he was here tonight.’ But the flawless harmonies — and the presence of a second cup already in hand — suggested otherwise.

Sheeran had already made headlines the night before with his own surprise set, delivering an intimate solo performance on the Mojave Stage. 

Forgoing big-budget production for a simple loop pedal and acoustic guitar, he ran through a string of fan favourites including The A Team, Perfect, and new single Azizam.

Fans braved the desert heat to pack out the tent well before he took the stage.

Adding a personal touch to his desert experience, Sheeran had already set up a British-style pub on-site, dubbed the Old Phone Pub. 

At the pop-up venue, he was joined by Shaboozey and rising star Alex Warren, where the pair performed Warren’s hit single Ordinary. 

Warren, who has cited Sheeran as a major influence, shared his excitement on Instagram, posting a video of the performance with the caption: ‘This is what happiness feels like…’

The rapper also paused his set multiple times to ensure audience members received medical attention, halting Better Now mid-song and stopping the show twice more to flag down security.

‘Y’all good? We gotta take care of each other,’ he told the crowd.

In true Post Malone fashion, the set was unpredictable and offbeat.

At various points, he lit two cigarettes simultaneously, admitted he was ‘f***ed up,’ and twice asked the crowd, ‘Do I still have eyebrows?’ after standing too close to the pyrotechnics.

Opening the night with heartfelt thanks, he told fans: ‘I know you can be anywhere in the world, and it means the world that you came to spend this evening with us.’

A little chaotic, deeply entertaining, and oddly wholesome, Post Malone’s Coachella closer delivered the kind of joyful mayhem fans had hoped for — and then some.
