THE RUNDOWN

• PinkPantheress performed at Coachella for the music festival’s second weekend.
• She invited a number of guests on stage, including Manon Bannerman of Katseye.
• It was a surprise appearance for fans of the girl group.

On Saturday, PinkPantheress gave an electric performance during her second weekend at Coachella in Indio, California. During her show, she welcomed a number of special guests on stage, including Manon Bannerman, who rose to fame with the girl group Katseye. Katseye was also performing at the event, though Bannerman did not join them.

In fan footage, Bannerman could be seen dancing during the performance. Other guests that evening included Janelle Monae, Tyriq Withers, Chase Infiniti, Slayyyter, and Zara Larsson.

During Katseye’s weekend 2 appearance on April 17, Bannerman was attending Sabrina Carpenter’s set, per clips she shared to her Instagram Stories. On weekend 1, Bannerman posted an Instagram Story from Coachella with a message to fans, writing, “6 milli of u, sending warm hugs and kisses to all of u. thank you.” She was later seen watching Carpenter’s set with Chappell Ronan.

Ahead of the festival, Katseye’s entertainment company, HYBE, told The Korea Herald that Bannerman would be on hiatus during the festival.

“After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing,” it shared in a statement. “We fully support this decision. Katseye remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. The group will continue scheduled activities during this time, and we look forward to being together again when the time is right. Thank you to our EYEKONS for your continued love, patience, and understanding.”

The remaining members, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung, were all onstage both weekends.
