Ready for extra? Coachella is again within the desert and whereas the headliners are doing their traditional headline-grabbing factor, one of the talked-about units this yr may come from somebody who doesn’t precisely match the standard mildew.
Enter Anyma. If you’ve seen clips of his exhibits, with huge humanoid visuals, surreal digital landscapes and what seem to be robotic musicians, you’ve in all probability had the identical query as half the web: What is he really doing up there?
With weekend one kicking off, the Italian DJ and producer is ready to debut his new audiovisual venture, ÆDEN, at Coachella 2026 and it’s already shaping up to be one of many competition’s most formidable productions.
Here’s the whole lot to know:
What day is Anyma acting at Coachella?
Anyma will take the stage on Friday throughout Coachella 2026’s opening night time, alongside a packed lineup that features Sabrina Carpenter and a late-night run of digital and various acts.
What time will Anyma play Coachella?
Anyma is scheduled for a midnight set on the principle stage, making him one of many remaining (and possible most visually intense) performances of the night time. If you’re planning your night round spectacle, that is the slot to circle.
What does Anyma really do stay?
Short reply: it’s sophisticated.
Anyma’s performances blur the road between DJ set, stay manufacturing and full-scale visible set up. While he does use controllers (together with Ableton-based setups) to combine and manipulate music in actual time, an enormous portion of the present is tightly choreographed, which means the music, visuals and lighting are all synced down to the second.
His recent run at Sphere in Las Vegas was on this format, mixing digital music with cinematic visuals and narrative-driven sequences. Rather than a conventional “watch the DJ” expertise, it’s extra like stepping right into a digital world.
The new ÆDEN venture expands on that concept. Inspired by artwork historical past and futuristic themes, the present is designed as a form of “digital renaissance,” with large-scale visuals, character-driven storytelling and a heavy emphasis on immersion.
Will there be particular company?
Very probably. Coachella is known for shock appearances and Anyma’s recent collaboration with BLACKPINK’s LISA (“Bad Angel”) dropped simply this week—so don’t rule something out.
Can I watch a stay stream of Anyma?
Coachella is streaming seven phases stay on YouTube, so you’ll be able to tune into the principle stage feed on Friday night time from midnight to 1am (so technically on Saturday) proper under.
What’s the remainder of the Coachella 2026 schedule like?
If you’re mapping your night time, Friday is stacked: Sabrina Carpenter headlines earlier within the night, whereas acts like Blood Orange and Disclosure fill out the late-night schedule earlier than Anyma takes over at midnight. Justin Bieber and Karol G headline the opposite two nights of the fest, with extra performances all through the weekend from the likes of Katseye, the Strokes, the XX, Jack White and extra—all of which you’ll be able to scope out under.
