We’ve been riding with Ciara for a while now, and are always glad to see her hit the stage! The Grammy winner made a surprise appearance during the Coachella Music Festival on Friday night, with a performance during the set of International DJ & Record Producer, R3hab.

Ciara performed two songs in front of a crowd of over 25,000 in the Sahara Tent as the festival kicked off Weekend 2.

The live performance included the new R3hab remix version of her hit single, "I BET" from her forthcoming album Jackie deluxe edition. The original and remix versions of "I BET" are available for instant gratification with pre-order on iTunes here! Ciara also performed a new song that she and R3hab recently recorded, "Get UP!" (unreleased).

The set and performance was broadcast live via AXS TV and on Sirius XM Radio – Electric Area.

Ciara is set to release her 6th album, Jackie on May 4 on Epic/Sony Music Entertainment. The first leg of her U.S. Tour begins May 3 and continues to May 31.

We’re excited to hear more new music from Ciara and check out her tour! And fingers crossed; she adds a Detroit date!
