This special stage also featured performances from two other highly popular artists, Yoasobi and Atarashii Gakko.

Number_i is a three-piece male group consisting of Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi. The group carries deep meanings like ʻOnly One’ and ʻLove,’ as well as a message and a commitment towards their fans to walk the journey with them.

After performing a smaller version at Head In The Clouds Festival and Coachella in 2022, Number_i was selected by the Asian-focused media company from their diverse roster to give the crowd an unforgettable journey. The group delivered a performance that broke genre boundaries and captured the hearts of all in the audience. From the moment they stepped into the spotlight, their infectious energy and innovative sound permeated the festival grounds, solidifying their status as one of the standout acts of Coachella 2024.

During their performance they played their smash hit ‘GOAT’ with a special surprise medley remix of the hit featuring Hong Kong superstar Jackson Wang, marking the peak of the evening at the Mojave stage.

With the release of their first digital single “GOAT” on Jan 1^st of this year, they officially embarked on their new musical journey. The video for “GOAT” surpassed over 10 million views within three days of its release in part due to the impact of its highly addictive sound and music video topping YouTube’s daily music video rankings on Jan 3. The song continued to top the global charts making number 1 in Japan followed by their debut EP also titled ‘Goat,’ released at the beginning of March.
