- The xx made their Coachella comeback in 2026 with a 15-song set, spanning material from across their catalog, marking their first festival appearance in eight years.[2]
- Pre-show rehearsal footage and official updates confirmed their return and teased new material in the works, with coverage highlighting plans for future releases and live performances.[3][4]
- Coverage from Rolling Stone Australia and other outlets noted that The xx opened or closed major festival days and helped anchor the festival’s return for the trio, though exact setlists across the course of the weekend varied by report.[5]

- Opening with atmospheric tracks from I See You era
- Mid-set deep cuts from Coexist and early material
- Closer with crowd-pleasers and Romy’s standout vocals

I can also pull the most cited setlist items from the official reviews and fan sites. Would you like that?
