The British pop star was in charge of the first day of "Coachella" and took to the main stage of the event in Indio, California shortly before midnight on Friday, April 15 (Saturday, April 16, Greek time), with his appearance being broadcast live via YouTube.
At the start of the one-and-a-half-hour program, nature scenes with yellow wildflowers, rabbits, deer and more played on the screen as the instrumental from Harry Styles's new single "As It Was" played through the speakers.

Harry Styles then performed 18 songs (see full setlist below), from the hits "Adore You", "Watermelon Sugar", "Cherry" and "Golden" on "Fine Line" to "Woman" and " Kiwi "of his first album. He also gave One Direction fans an interpretation of "What Makes You Beautiful".
"If you know the lyrics to this song - God knows if I know them - please sing with me," he joked to the "Coachella" audience before moving on to a more mature version of the hugely successful 2011 band launched by the teenage boy band.
After "What Makes You Beautiful", the stage of "Coachella" darkened and the initial notes of "Man! Man!" Began to play. I Feel Like a Woman »by Shania Twain. Harry Styles looked around playfully, making him confused, before Shania Twain herself appeared on stage, shouting: "Let's go, girls!".
The two artists radiated chemistry as they performed, flirting with Shania Twain's 1997 hit "You're Still the One".
"Now I have to tell you, in the car with my mother when I was a kid, this lady taught me to sing," Harry Styles told the crowd about Shania Twain, who shone with joy next to him. "He also taught me that men are rubbish. [laughs] But to you, for the memories you gave me with my mother, I am forever grateful ", he added.
"I can not find words, I'm a little dumb," replied Shania Twain. "When I was writing this song, you were still a child, so it's like a dream and very surreal to sit here with you," he continued.

With "Harry's House" new album scheduled for release on May 20, Harry Styles also took advantage of "Coachella" opportunity to present two new songs.
The first, "Boyfriends", is, in Harry's words, a big "fuck you" to "all boys", especially to men who have mistreated the women of their lives. "The boys / They think you are so easy / They take you for granted", are the lyrics with which the song begins.
The second new song, "Late Night Talking", is a much sweeter, uptempo track from a Harry Styles in love.
"If you feel down, I just want to make you happier baby," she sings in the chorus. "We had all this night talk / For whatever you wanted until the morning / Now you are in my life, I can not get you out of my mind."
It would not be a Harry Styles concert without kindness. To complete his first appearance on "Coachella", in front of tens of thousands of fans cheering him on, Harry Styles left the persona of the rock star and became Harry. He encouraged the audience to "go out, be kind to each other and tell the people they love that they love them", before closing the concert with his first solo single, "Sign Of The Times".
Harry Styles will return to the stage of "Coachella" on Friday 22 April (Saturday morning 23 April Greek time) for the second three days of the festival.
