- The xx performed at Coachella 2026 (Weekend One) on April 10, delivering a 15-song main-stage set that drew from all three of their studio albums and included a medley of solo material. This aligns with reports noting a comprehensive comeback performance after eight years away from the festival.[1][2][3]
- The setlist featured fan favorites such as Crystalised, Angels, and VCR, along with a section weaving in songs from Romy, Oliver Sim, and Jamie xx’s solo catalogs, ending with Intro as a triumphant closer. Multiple sources corroborate the order and selections, including setlist aggregators and festival coverage.[3][1]
- Reactions to the performance highlighted the band’s atmospheric, rangy sound and spellbinding live presence, with coverage calling it a "triumphant return" and a standout moment of the festival.[6]
Illustration of typical setlist structure (based on Weekend One reports):
- Opening: Crystalised
- Core sequence: Say Something Loving → Islands → Angels → Fiction
- Solo medley: I’ll Take Care Of U (Gil Scott-Heron cover) → Shel ter → VCR
- Solo tracks: Enjoy Your Life → Wanna → Treat Each Other Right → GMT
- Closing block: On Hold (Jamie xx remix) → On Hold → I Dare You → Intro (extended outro)
