Nine Inch Noize Delivers a Haunting Coachella Rave on the Sahara Stage
Nine Inch Noize—the collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and Boys Noize—took over Coachella’s Sahara stage with a 45-minute, choreographed set that turned NIN favorites into a nightmarish, high-drama rave, complete with zombie-like dancers and Mariqueen Maandig on stage; the reworkings stayed faithful enough to the originals while exploding into brutal, noise-soaked textures, making it one of Coachella 2026’s standout moments as a new Nine Inch Nails/Boys Noize album drops next Friday.
