PinkPantheress Wore Tieks For Her Coachella Set
Our name is Tieks, and we're really glad to meet you.
On Saturday April 18, 2026, British pop star PinkPantheress took the Mojave stage at Coachella for her Weekend 2 set—and she did it in two pairs of Tieks.
The Set
What shoes did PinkPantheress wear at Coachella?
The answer: Tieks, worn throughout a nearly hour-long performance that became one of the most electric sets of the weekend. PinkPantheress’ Coachella shoes were just one detail in a carefully layered visual story, but they carried her through every song, every costume moment, and every surprise guest appearance.
Her collaborator on "Stateside," Zara Larsson took the stage to perform "Midnight Sun" and teased that PinkPantheress could be featured on the album’s upcoming deluxe edition. Musicians Janelle Monáe and Australian DJ Ninajirachi also made appearances, alongside actors Tyriq Withers and Chase Infiniti—a guest list that reflected the range and reach of PinkPantheress’ creative world.
Running through fan favorites like "Romeo,” "Boy's a liar Pt. 2," and “Illegal,” the set built momentum with each track and had a celebratory energy that matched her catalog perfectly.
The performance also doubled as a birthday celebration. Tyriq Withers stepped to the mic mid-set with an announcement for the crowd: "I really had something important to say… a birdie told me that it is your birthday," before presenting her with a rose as dancers held up a "Happy Birthday" sign.
Through all of it—the guests, the hits, the celebration—PinkPantheress wore Cobalt Blue and Cardinal Red Tieks.
The Shoes
PinkPantheress’ Coachella outfits have drawn attention for blending Y2K nostalgia with distinctly British cool. Her choice of Cobalt Blue and Cardinal Red Tieks—two of the most vivid colors in the Tieks collection—was entirely consistent with the bold color stories she built into her performances.
But what makes Tieks the right shoe for a moment like this goes beyond color. Searches for Coachella ballet flats 2026 and comfortable festival shoes have been rising as artists and attendees alike prioritize movement and longevity over discomfort.
Tieks take the traditional ballet flat even further. Each pair is handcrafted from the finest Italian leathers through a meticulous 150-step process, with a flexible split sole that moves comfortably with every step and cushioned insoles designed for hours of wear.
For an artist navigating a high-production set with choreography, quick changes, and a full slate of surprise guests, the best festival ballet flats provide comfort and style, supporting the performance without becoming a distraction. On one of the biggest stages in music, Tieks did exactly that.
