Young Thug & The xx Crash Indio’s Desert Party Wagon
Get ready, music lovers with a side of desperation for social relevancy! The xx, Young Thug, Turnstile, David Byrne, FKA twigs, Addison Rae, and Ethel Cain (yes, Ethel Cain) are storming Indio, California’s sunbaked festival grounds. It's like an eclectic sibling reunion where the cool kids invite the TikTok star and experimental goth cousin. As California’s heatwave threatens mild dehydration, dozens more artists will join this sonic potluck—bringing a mix so rich it’s basically a musical smoothie. Feel free to dust off your festival boots, but don’t forget your sunscreen and woke awareness hats; this lineup spells diversity better than a UN meeting on music genres.

Only in Indio can you find Young Thug vibing next to TikTok royalty Addison Rae while The xx contemplate existential desert heatwaves. Festivals are now just identity crosswords with a sprinkle of hydration anxiety.
A playlist so confused it's basically a melon salad—Young Thug drops bars while David Byrne wonders if the desert is listening or just asking for water.
Indio’s lineup looks like a Spotify glitch—half the artists got on by accident and the other half by algorithmic mercy.
