Pendulum has dropped a bombshell for electronic music fans: their first new studio album in 15 years, INERTIA, arrives August 22, 2025. This news has set the Coachella community abuzz, with fans on r/coachella and beyond eagerly speculating about a possible festival showdown.
Their legendary 2008 Sahara Tent set remains a fond memory, sparking calls for a reunion tour or a grand Coachella 2026 appearance (set for April 10–12 and 17–19 in Indio, CA). The buzz includes hopes for a surprise Knife Party crossover, given the shared Pendulum members.
Although the official 2026 lineup is still under wraps, the momentum behind Pendulum’s comeback album has fueled fresh excitement. Festival-goers and fans alike are watching closely for lineup drops that might confirm the band’s return to the live stage.
Stay tuned — if Pendulum is gracing this year’s big festival circuits, Extra Chill Festival Wire will have it first.
