Jennifer Lopez stepped onto a Coachella stage for the first time on April 11, joining David Guetta for the live debut of “Save Me Tonight.” (billboard.com) The appearance came during Guetta’s Saturday-night set at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California. Coachella’s official site lists the festival’s first weekend as April 10 to April 12.

People said the performance marked the song’s first-ever live outing at the festival. (billboard.com) (people.com) The song itself is new. Warner Records said Guetta and Lopez released “Save Me Tonight” on March 6, 2026, and Billboard reported the official release arrived after Lopez had previewed the track onstage before it hit streaming services.

Forbes included her among the unannounced appearances that filled the opening weekend schedule.

Forbes reported on April 13 that “Save Me Tonight” had climbed into the top 10 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. (forbes.com) The timing mattered for Lopez’s 2026 schedule too. Caesars Palace said she opened her “Up All Night Live in Las Vegas” residency on January 2, with shows booked through March 2026, placing the Coachella appearance just after that run.
