The XX recently sparked a wave of buzz with a casual social media post captioned "Don’t make me sing …," feeding fan hopes they’re gearing up for a Coachella return. Reddit’s r/coachella community floated ideas of the trio possibly closing the Outdoor Stage, energized by talk of new material and a Q1 2025 album.
Fans imagine extended sets featuring Romy and Jamie xx solo work, including an anticipated back-to-back Quasar stage joint appearance — dubbed “legendary” and "a vibe" by the fanbase. Nostalgic memories of past "Loud Places" performances are also fueling excitement.
However, as of May 8, 2025, The XX is not listed in the official Coachella 2025 lineup. Headliners are Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone, with Charli XCX, FKA twigs, Missy Elliott, and more rounding out the roster.
Recent solo projects from the band members add context: Romy’s debut solo album Mid Air dropped in September 2023, and Jamie xx released In Waves in June 2024, complete with high-profile shows including Glastonbury. Romy has also confirmed ongoing collaborative work on new material for The XX.
While not confirmed for Coachella 2025, The XX’s social hints and fan enthusiasm keep the possibility of a festival comeback alive, making them a name to watch for future festival announcements.
