Coachella Artists of the Day: Dec. 16, 2025

Die Spitz

Origin: Austin, Texas, USA

Genre / Subgenres: Rock / Doom Metal, Alternative rock

Making a bunch of loud noises, but in a good way! Who knew doom metal could be so fun? Not me, but these four Austin women are kicking ass at it and will have you headbanging and thrashing like your life depends on it. With their fierce debut album, Something to Consume, which was just released earlier this year, Die Spitz they made it pretty clear that they're here to stay for a while.

Performing: Saturday

Stage Prediction: Sonora

Röyksopp

Origin: Tromsø, Troms, Norway

Genre / Subgenres: Electronic / Ambient, Downtempo, house

Norway is known for it's cold temperatures, but it's as if Röyksopp wanted to escape that through the warm tones of their music. Unlike most electronic acts today, the duo prefers to use vintage, analog synthesizers when making their music, giving them a more distinct sound that's easily distinguishable from the rest. They're also known for elaborate live performances, so this may be a set to prioritize.

Performing: Sunday

Stage Prediction: Mojave

For Fans of: Goldrapp, Air, Moby

Key Tracks: Eple / Here She Comes Again (ft. Jamie Irrepressible) / The Girl and the Robot

Live Set: DJ Set at Ritter Butzke 2025 (Berlin, Germany)

Rating: ★★★★
