In a stunning crossover moment at Coachella 2026, the real-life girl group KATSEYE surprised festival-goers with a special guest appearance from the stars of Netflix's animated hit KPop Demon Hunters. During their Friday night set, the Los Angeles-based group launched into a performance of 'Golden,' the breakout song from the film, before welcoming singers EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami to the stage.
"It’s truly an honour to be performing with KATSEYE, guys!" EJAE exclaimed to the roaring crowd after the collaborative performance.
The trio provides the singing voices for HUNTR/X, the fictional band at the heart of KPop Demon Hunters, which follows a group of musicians who secretly battle demons. The film became a global phenomenon upon its release last year, setting a new record as Netflix's most-streamed film of all time and sparking plans for a sequel.
This Coachella appearance continues a remarkable awards season run for the song 'Golden.' EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami previously performed it at both the BAFTAs and the Oscars, where the film took home trophies for Best Animated Film and Best Original Song. The Coachella collaboration marks another milestone in blending animated fantasy with real-world musical spectacle, delighting fans of both the movie and KATSEYE's rising pop career.
