From John Summit’s surprise to Anyma’s redemption set with LISA, the Do LaB once again became Coachella’s most unpredictable destination.
Do LaB returned to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for Weekend One of 2026, proving once again why its stage remains the festival’s ultimate wildcard. Known for surprise guests, genre-hopping lineups, and packed-out crowds deep into the night, Do LaB’s latest takeover delivered nonstop highlights across all three days – and it was only the first weekend. Featuring major moments from Anyma, Marlon Hoffstadt, John Summit, Tinashe, Romy, Isaiah Rashad, KETTAMA, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, Romy, and more, there were also countless unexpected appearances that kept the desert buzzing into this week.
Friday kicked off with the weekend’s biggest surprise as John Summit took over Do LaB for an unforgettable, crowd-stopping set that instantly became one of the most talked-about moments of the entire festival. The appearance was especially perfectly timed, landing a mere days before Summit’s sophomore album CTRL ESCAPE arrived on April 15, and served as the first-ever livestreamed Do LaB set, making the moment feel even larger than the stage itself. The energy stayed high with breakout vocalist Jazzy making her first-ever Coachella appearance (followed by a set at Quasar later in the weekend), MCR-T, and FIFI, whose set drew extra attention as Becky G was spotted dancing in the crowd.
Saturday continued the momentum with a run of standout surprises, beginning with Romy of The xx delivering an emotional, euphoric DJ set that carried the crowd from sunset into full nighttime bliss. Tinashe showed off her versatility with a DJ set packed with originals, reworks, and club-ready house heat – then brought out Disco Lines for a special performance of their hit “No Broke Boys.” The tempo climbed even higher with a rare KETTAMA B2B ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U set, followed by Prospa B2B Josh Baker closing out the night with a full-throttle finish.
Sunday delivered the kind of Do LaB finale that attendees live for, with Anyma B2B Marlon Hoffstadt taking over as the weekend’s final closing surprise set. The moment doubled as a redemption arc for Anyma after his Main Stage set was canceled due to severe weather and high winds. To kick things up a notch, he was joined on stage by LISA (of BLACKPINK), fresh off their new collaboration “Bad Angel.” The day also featured a major return from Isaiah Rashad, a high-energy set from Whethan featuring guests like Oliver Tree and Levity, and Poolside’s feel-good Daytime Disco soundtrack setting the perfect tone for the final afternoon in the desert. As always, Do LaB didn’t just host sets, it created some of the biggest and most buzzworthy moments of the fest.
