Sara Landry used her April 19 Coachella set to foreground her Mexican American identity and debut an all-woman “Blood Oath” concept. (latimes.com) The Los Angeles Times reported on April 21 that Landry, 32, framed the performance around the roots behind her music during Coachella’s second weekend in Indio, California. The set closed out the festival’s Quasar stage on Sunday night. (latimes.com, coachella.com) “Blood Oath” was built as a female-DJ collective, with the Times naming Jenna Shaw, LP Giobbi, Tokimonsta and Mary Droppinz as part of the lineup Landry assembled. Billboard had previewed before the festival that Landry was returning to Coachella in April with a bigger edition of “Blood Oath.” (latimes.com, billboard.com) Coachella gave the project one of the festival’s long-format electronic slots. The official festival schedule listed April 17-19 as weekend two, and trade coverage in January identified Landry’s “Blood Oath” as the Quasar stage finale on April 19. (coachella.com, djmag.com) The set landed as Landry’s profile has expanded beyond underground hard dance crowds into major festival billing. Billboard wrote in March that she was preparing “a ton” of new music while moving from Ultra Music Festival in March to Coachella in April. (billboard.com) The Los Angeles Times said Landry also hinted that an album is on the way. That would follow a period in which interviews and festival appearances have centered not just on her high-speed techno sets, but on how she packages them with ritual imagery, pop edits and a more overt artist identity. (latimes.com, rollingstone.com) Landry has been pushing that identity in interviews for more than a year. Rolling Stone wrote in 2025 that she was making space for female and queer fans inside a harder-edged electronic scene that has often been coded as purist and male-dominated. (rollingstone.com) By the end of Coachella weekend two, Landry had turned a closing DJ slot into a statement about lineage, collaborators and what comes after the festival. The next marker is the album she teased in the Times’ April 21 coverage. (latimes.com)
