Zella Day Says Playing Coachella is a 'Badge of Honor'

Zella Day takes a seat on the stage during her set at The Chelsea inside the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on Friday night (March 4).

The 20-year-old singer played alongside Charlie Puth and American Authors at the weekend concert event.

In case you didn’t hear, Zella will be playing at this year’s annual Coachella Festival.

“It feels good, it feels like a badge of honor, honestly,” she shared with Harper’s Bazaar. “Amongst the artists here, in California, that festival is such a big deal. People live and die for Coachella. So to be a part of it on such a big scale is really flattering, and I feel really lucky to be part of the community.”

Zella added, “I think festivals are way more easygoing than back-to-back tours are. ‘Cause for me, when you get to go to a festival, you get to hang out all day, and you’re really taken care of, and there’s usually a little artist village where all the artists have their own tents, and it’s catered, and then you go and play an hour-long set depending on where you are on the lineup. And then you go back and you hang out and you even get to go watch other artists play. So it’s really just a fun interactive experience for everybody.”
