"The group appeared in their signature all-black and launched into their 2009 debut single Crystalised as if no time had passed. Across nearly an hour with 16 tracks that seamlessly blended their forward-thinking, intimate headphone rock with their respective solo material, the xx delivered an impressively rangy and shapeshifting set befitting the veteran genre-bending act they have become."
"While the traditional xx sound is undeniably influential, it's perhaps not the ideal festival mood. It's hard to imagine a Billie Eilish without the xx's distinctively spectral production, though the band's music generally feels anti-crowd."
The xx performed at Coachella for the first time in eight years, showcasing their evolution while maintaining their signature sound. Jamie xx, Oliver Sim, and Romy Madley Croft, childhood friends, have pursued solo projects but reunited for this festival. Their set included 16 tracks, merging intimate headphone rock with their individual styles. Despite their atmospheric sound being less suited for festivals, the trio's performance was engaging, demonstrating their ability to create a captivating vibe and highlight their musical growth.
