Anyma returned to Coachella on Friday, April 17, and used the main stage to premiere his new live show, ÆDEN, one week after wind canceled his first scheduled set. (billboard.com) Billboard reported that the weekend-two set began at about 12:15 a.m. Friday night into Saturday morning, with Anyma dressed in white and backed by a screen running the full length of the Coachella main stage. (billboard.com) The opening visuals showed crumbling digital columns, then figures drawn from ancient art and mythology, including a David-like statue, Medusa imagery and an angel motif tied to the ÆDEN concept. (billboard.com) The guest list turned the set into a crossover booking as well as an electronic one. Billboard said LISA, Joji, Muse’s Matt Bellamy and Swae Lee all appeared during the performance. (billboard.com) That lineup stood out because Coachella’s biggest surprise guests often cluster in the first weekend, not the second. Billboard noted that the weather cancellation likely changed that pattern for Anyma’s slot. (billboard.com) The show also extended ideas Anyma had already been building in his End of Genesys residency at Sphere Las Vegas in late 2024 and early 2025, where large-scale visuals were central to the performance. (billboard.com) At Coachella, those visuals were reworked for the desert stage rather than copied from Sphere. Billboard described familiar imagery from “Voices In My Head” and a marble-statue rendering of Ellie Goulding during “Hypnotized.” (billboard.com) The result was a weekend-two set built around a missed first chance. Anyma’s Coachella debut arrived seven days late, but it landed with the festival’s largest stage, a new show name and a stack of guest appearances. (billboard.com)
