how influencers broke coachella

About this episode

This episode recaps the 2026 Coachella festival and discusses the impact of influencers on the event's atmosphere and performances.

Lights, music...apathy? Why did the artists DELIVER this year at Coachella, yet the crowd was frighteningly quiet? We saw some powerhouse performances and guests brought onto stage only to be met by seemingly bored influencers with their phones in the air. Is Coachella dying? Or is Weekend 2 the real concert that's actually thriving? This episode, I recap 2026 Coachella and theorize about the future of the festival and the divide created by the influencer economy. I of course deliver my hot takes on all the major performances, including Sabrina, Justin, Katseye, Addison & more! Youtube Patreon
