Darkside’s Nicolas Jaar Makes Statements on Palestine, ICE, For-Profit Prisons & More at Coachella 2025
"There's no way to continue in this planet without the empires falling as soon as possible," Jaar stated during the band's weekend two festival set.
Coachella 2025 will likely be considered one of the most political editions of the longstanding festival, with a flurry of artists using their onstage platforms to make statements on topics including Palestine, ICE, the Trump administration and more. Nicolas Jaar of psych jam act Darkside used the trio’s Saturday night performances in the Gobi tent to address the audience about a myriad of issues, primarily Palestine. On the main stage, headliners Green Day also changed the lyrics of “American Idiot” to state “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda.” Other artists including Bob Vylan and Blonde Redhead displayed Palestinian flags during their sets.
