Nine Inch Noize made its official live debut during the 2026 edition of Coachella, performing on April 11 at the Sahara Stage with a hybrid industrial-electronic concept.
The lineup features Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Boys Noize, solidifying a collaboration that had been developing over recent months during Nine Inch Nails’ Peel It Back Tour.
The setlist included 11 songs, combining nine tracks from Nine Inch Nails, one from How to Destroy Angels and a cover of “Memorabilia”, originally by Soft Cell. One of the standout moments featured an appearance by Mariqueen Maandig Reznor, who joined the performance live.
The sonic direction presented at Coachella reflects a more direct integration of electronic elements into the industrial framework, partially moving away from the traditional live band format in favor of a hybrid performance approach.
This debut arrives amid growing anticipation, as Nine Inch Noize will release their self-titled debut album on April 17 via Interscope Records.
