Dijon slides into Coachella’s Friday lineup with a set built for headphones and late-night tents alike: intimate, experimental, and quietly infectious. The Baltimore-born, LA-based singer-producer has spent the last half-decade sharpening a sound that pulls from neo-soul, alternative R&B, folk and left‑field production — and he brings all of it to the desert.
After emerging as one-half of Abhi/Dijon, he pivoted to a solo path that produced Absolutely (2021) and the more recent Baby (2025). On record Dijon mixes warm, soulful vocals with surprising sonic choices — modular synth textures, clipped percussion and spare folk arrangements — and his studio work includes collaborations with Charli XCX, Bon Iver, Justin Bieber and Mk.gee.
- The Dress — studio favorite and mood-setter
- Skin — intimate, direct R&B
- Yamaha — a textured, experimental cut
If you want a sneak preview of what Dijon will bring onstage, check his Fox Theatre clip from 2025 for the live vibe: Fox Theatre 2025. Expect a show that leans on subtle dynamics and production flourishes rather than arena-size bombast — perfect for close-up listening in festival mode.
Why he matters at Coachella: Dijon represents the new breed of festival performer who can turn low-key, emotionally direct songs into communal moments. Fans of Mk.gee, Kevin Abstract and Blood Orange should carve out time on Friday — this one rewards attention.
Pro tip for attendees: catch him early enough to hear material across his two albums — Baby-era songs are likely to dominate, but his set will pull deep cuts that play well on repeat. Hot tracks and more streams: The Dress | Skin | Yamaha.
