British punk duo Lambrini Girls have mysteriously disappeared from the Coachella set times schedule. The band, which was originally announced as part of the 2026 Coachella lineup and scheduled to perform Saturday, April 11 & 18, is nowhere to be seen on the just-released set times.
Well-known and loved for their raw, confrontational punk that refuses to separate music from politics (and rightfully so). Their lyrics and live shows tackle issues like misogyny, oppression, capitalism, and trans rights with aggressive, unfiltered energy.
Lambrini Girls have been especially vocal about Palestine. They’ve publicly supported pro-Palestinian causes, shared “Free Palestine” messaging at shows and online, and even taken financial and career hits because of it. Their activism goes beyond words: in 2024, they pulled out of major festivals over links to companies connected to Israel, framing it as a refusal to be “complicit.”
In interviews, the band has been openly critical of Donald Trump and what he represents. Their stance comes across as a welcoming rallying cry in live shows. At gigs and like many bands we cover, Lambrini Girls have led crowds in chants like “F—k Trump,” “F—k ICE” turning their concerts into safe and cathartic spaces where fans can voice their support for the causes that mean the most to them, as well as commune over the disgust of certain political powers plaguing the world with their disease.
The band just released another bangin’ single with “Cult of Celebrity,” which calls out The Epstein List, Harvey Weinstein, P Diddy, and all the vile humans associated with them. “President” Donald Trump is mentioned more than 1000 times in the Jeffrey Epstein documents. Furthermore, the Justice Department posted a trio of FBI interviews with a woman who alleged President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a young teenager after she was introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein.
We’ve been championing Lambrini Girls since we first wrote about their single “Help Me I’m Gay!” (2022). There’s nothing but great things to say about this band of good humans. It’s truly alarming to see them pulled from the Coachella schedule with no explanation.
Did a certain group make sure they were pulled from Coachella to avoid another epic Kneecap performance? Or did Trump and his cronies block them from entering the U.S.? Or is it all of the above? Whatever the reason, fans have been sharing their disappointment across social media and Reddit. Lambrini Girls have yet to address their absence from the Coachella schedule.
Jack White was just added to the Coachella set times schedule, performing on Saturday, April 11 at 3pm. That’s the same day Lambrini were scheduled to perform, and the time slot sounds about right. And with Jack, you already know the Lambrini Girls will be there in spirit, as their political views and activism are in sync, especially when it comes to Epstein’s buddy, Donald Trump.
We’ve reached out to Lambrini Girls’ publicist for some answers. Stay tuned.
