Updated: Dec 12, 2023 8:34 PM UTCPublished: Apr 13, 2018 5:46 PM UTC Mason Ramsey, the boy from Golconda, Illinois who shot to fame overnight after a video of him [yodeling at Walmart](http://time.com/5225039/walmart-yodeling-boy-video-goes-viral/) went viral, is taking his talents to Coachella. The Ramsey will perform at the annual music festival, heading back to out west just days after he [appeared on _The Ellen Show_](http://time.com/5236173/walmart-yodeling-kid-ellen/). “Can’t wait to see California again! Hope y’all are ready cause we’re bringing the country to Coachella,” Ramsey said in an Instagram post Friday. TMZ [reported](http://www.tmz.com/2018/04/13/yodeling-walmart-kid-mason-ramsey-performing-coachella/) earlier in the day that Ramsey will perform with the DJ Whethan, who is scheduled to play on Friday, and that he might join the rapper Post Malone on stage. Representatives for the festival and the artist did not immediately comment on Ramsey’s performance plans. Ramsey has melted hearts across the U.S. with his [yodeling skills](http://time.com/5236173/walmart-yodeling-kid-ellen/) and performances of songs like Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues.” He even landed a spot at the [Grand Ole Opry](http://time.com/5237052/mason-ramsey-walmart-yodeling-kid/) in Nashville on April 14 — with that gig and the upcoming Coachella performance, Ramsey has a busy few days ahead. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5239559/walmart-yodeling-boy-coachella/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5239559/walmart-yodeling-boy-coachella/"},"headline":"The One and Only Walmart Yodeling Boy Is Going to Bring Some Star Power to Coachella","datePublished":"2018-04-13T17:46:32.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T20:34:52.000Z","description":"Mason Ramsey's viral fame is taking him all the way to the music festival","url":"https://time.com/5239559/walmart-yodeling-boy-coachella/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltebddcc433fd04ee7/69892d5ccf40a89efac4be31/screen-shot-2018-04-11-at-10-18-40-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltebddcc433fd04ee7/69892d5ccf40a89efac4be31/screen-shot-2018-04-11-at-10-18-40-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"mason-ramsey-ellen-show","caption":"walmart yodeling kid on ellen deGeneres","creditText":"YouTube","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5239559/walmart-yodeling-boy-coachella/","name":"The One and Only Walmart Yodeling Boy Is Going to Bring Some Star Power to Coachella"}}]}] ```
