Excitement is mounting on the r/coachella subreddit as fans speculate about a potential Lorde performance at Coachella 2026. The buzz centers on her new track, What Was That?, which includes the lyric:
“Indio haze, we’re in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out.”
This direct nod to Indio — the Coachella festival city — has the community buzzing, with hopefuls eager to hear classics like Buzzcut Season and Ribs live again. Some even anticipate surprise guest spots by frequent collaborators Charli XCX and Troye Sivan.
The unofficial chatter is vibrant, but there’s no confirmation yet from Coachella organizers or Lorde’s camp. Still, the lyrical hint and accompanying music video showcase Lorde’s evolving artistry and seem to stoke fans’ anticipation for her triumphant return to the desert stage.
