Bec Judds Bold Message to Gen Z Influencers

Bec Judd has declared that she is not 'too old' for  after she attended the famed music festival in earlier this month.  

Speaking on her Vain-ish podcast, she hit out at those who suggested that 'over-40s' should not be seen at the three-day event.

'If you actually go to Coachella, you will see that it's not a young people's event,' the 43-year-old AFL WAG said as she . 

Bec also staked a claim for her generation as the true pioneers of music festival culture.

'We created this scene, we were the first attendees of these festivals, and our peers were the first deejays, promoters... creating these festivals,' she said.

Warming to her topic, Bec went on the attack, claiming that the 'zoomer' generation has no right to exclude over-40s from the festival scene.

'So when Gen Z are like, "What are you doing here?" it's like, "mate, you wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for us",' she said. 

'If you're over 40, 100 per cent you belong. If you're over 50, 100 per cent.' 

Elsewhere, Bec and her co-host Jessie Roberts shared details of their Coachella 2026 experience, which they attended with buddies, including former AFL WAG Jessie Murphy, 35, and 39-year-old Lauren Phillips.

Bec complained that 'young influencers' spent more time on their devices recording the event rather than enjoying headline acts including Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber.

'They [young influencers] don't even look at the act, they've just got their phones up the entire time. All the millennials are the ones dancing and having fun,' she said.

It comes after Bec gushed over the inclusion of Justin Bieber in the lineup for the iconic California-set music festival.

'As soon as they announced Justin, ticket sales were chugging along, and then it sold out in half an hour,' Bec told the Herald Sun last month.

'I didn't realise he could pull such a crowd, it was the fastest-selling announcement.'
