Has it really been a year since Beyoncé's era-defining performance at Coachella?

It certainly hasn't been forgotten at this year's Coachella, with the pyramid stage from the iconic performance finding new life as an installation on the festival's grounds.

The first woman of color to headline the festival, the singer reunited with other members of Destiny's Child for the two-hour performance, which also featured appearances by her husband Jay-Z and her sister Solange.

Beyoncé's performance also drew inspiration from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), with a marching band and a step show backing the show — and it was all performed on the now-iconic pyramid stage.

So, for the 2019 festival, while Queen Bey did not make another appearance on the lineup, the stage made a triumphant return.

If you were lucky enough to attend this year's festival, you could get up close and snap a photo right where music history was made. The stage also lights up at night.

It comes as Netflix is set to release a documentary, Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé, about the making of the performance, which will be available on Apr. 17.
