- Slayyyter — Hyperpop-adjacent club bangers and maximalist pop energy; a recurring pick from multiple commenters.
- ninajirachi — Genre-blending electronic producer with pop sensibilities and heavy dancefloor appeal.
- FKA twigs — Art-pop and experimental R&B with theatrical live shows; always a vibe.
- Cobrah — High-energy, campy dance-pop suited for crowd-turn-up moments.
- Wet Leg — Indie-pop with attitude and earworm hooks — great for a lighter, cheeky set.
- PinkPantheress — Bedroom-pop meets jungle-inspired rhythms; short songs, big impact.
- Katseye — A favorite called out for that “cunty dance” energy — queer crowd staple.
- Rezz — Heavy bass and dark, rave-ready productions (called “rezzbian” in-thread as a gay-fave meme).
- Model/Actriz — Post-punk/noise-leaning art rock that brings theatrical intensity to a festival slot.
- Karol G — Big reggaetón/pop star — the obvious party pick some commenters flagged.
- CMAT — Country-adjacent indie-pop with anthemic live performances and a cult following.
- Ethel Cain — Moody, cinematic singer-songwriter fare that’s become a queer favorite.
- Katseye, Addison, Lykke Li, Oklou, Tomora, Royksopp, Duke Dumont, Major Lazer
- Luísa Sonza, Noga Erez, The xx, Samia, Lambrini Girls, Marlon Hoffstadt
- Clipse, Labrinth, Justin Bieber (jokingly suggested), RUSOWSKY / flowerovlove-style picks
This thread is less about strict genre labels and more about vibe: queer festivalgoers are leaning into acts that bring camp, intensity, and dancefloor charisma — from stripped-down indie-pop to full-on club distortion. If you want to curate a Coachella day that hits the gay-joy sweet spot, start with the names above and fill in with the smaller, moodier acts for contrast.
