FKA twigs is the Festival Wire’s Artist of the Day ahead of her Sunday slot at Coachella 2026. The London-born singer, dancer and genre-bending performer has built a reputation for art-pop and alternative R&B that favors skeletal beats, glitchy textures and a voice that can move from fragile to ferocious in a breath.
Festival staples for new and casual fans alike: “Two Weeks,” “cellophane” and “HARD” are must-listens ahead of her set — and you can preview a recent performance from Lowlands 2025 here: https://youtu.be/YnRaTXgDIdc. Her work is often compared to Björk, James Blake and Caroline Polachek for its experimental pop sensibility.
On Reddit, the reaction to the Coachella booking was a familiar mix: high excitement from longtime fans and cautious optimism from newer listeners. Several commenters said they’d been knocked around by Twigs’ recent touring behavior — praising 2025’s Eusexua and calling Afterglow a top contender for their year-end lists, while also noting past cancellations and off-stage controversies that left some wary about whether she’ll appear in Indio.
That tension shows up in the thread: one user called Twigs “my queen,” another described a rollercoaster relationship with the artist after a cancelled appearance and a public Discord rant, and new fans asked if missing a set is a pattern they should worry about. Other fans were straightforwardly hyped — hoping she brings surprise guests (there was hope for an A$AP Rocky cameo) and promising an amazing performance for whoever makes it to her Sunday set.
If you’re planning your Coachella schedule, consider FKA twigs a highlight for fans of avant-pop and emotionally intense live shows — just make sure to keep an eye on the official festival channels for the latest set updates. Whether she delivers a flawless, theatrical show or keeps things understated and intimate, she’s one of the more singular acts on this year’s bill.
