Anyma finally takes over the Coachella 2026 Main Stage
Anyma finally presented his new show, ÆDEN, during the second weekend of Coachella 2026 after strong winds forced the cancellation of his first scheduled performance on April 10, 2026. The producer returned on April 17, taking the mainstage shortly after 12:15 a.m. and appeared dressed in white, standing in front of a massive screen that stretched across the stage. The show began with digital columns that crumbled and rose again, setting the tone for a performance built on movement, illusion, and visual effects. During different points in the set, the platform beneath him lifted and lowered, making him appear to float in the middle of fire and other effects.

Throughout his performance, the visuals introduced figures inspired by ancient art and mythology. One character looked like Michelangelo’s David, while others included a Medusa-like figure, tree root-shaped bodies, a demon, and later, an angel. With a mix of old and modern imagery, the Anyma universe is now taking over after the Italian-American producer held a Sphere residency in Las Vegas in late 2024 and early 2025. However, he did bring familiar visuals in a newer form, including the eyes from “Voices In My Head.” Ellie Goulding also appeared on screen during “Hypnotized,” but this time her image looked more like a marble statue to match the show’s aesthetic choices.
Anyma brings out guests like Joji and BLACKPINK’s Lisa
The live guests made the performance even more exciting. Anyma brought out guests like Matt Bellamy, Swae Lee, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and Joji, giving the set a strong closing segment. Lisa’s appearance was one of the most anticipated moments of the set, as the pair collaborated on the recent track “Bad Angel.” The song was released on April 8, 2026, and Coachella marked the first time they performed it together in public. Following this appearance, Joji joined Anyma for “Beautiful,” which closed the show. In the end, ÆDEN came as a massive expansion and a strong moment for dance music at the Coachella Main Stage.
