Watch Clipse’s emotional Coachella 2026 set featuring Travis Barker

Clipse played an emotional set at the first weekend of Coachella 2026, where they were also joined by Blink-182‘s Travis Barker.

The hip-hop due of Pusha T and Malice made a triumphant return last year, releasing their fourth studio album ‘Let God Sort Em Out’ and their first full-length since 2009. It went on to be named as one of the best albums of 2025 by NME.

Their hour-long set on the Outdoor Theatre stage on Sunday (April 12) saw them open with a four-song stretch for which they were joined by a propulsive Barker on drums, while later in the show, the mood shifted as they performed ‘The Birds Don’t Sing’.

That song was written about the deaths of Malice’s parents and their photos were projected onto the screens behind the stage during the performance, with Malice and Pusha standing silently as they looked at the final image as the song concluded.

Clipse are also booked for a number of other festivals this year, including Lollapalooza, Oya and Bonnaroo.

They also became the first hip-hop act to perform at the Vatican last September, where they were accompanied by John Legend and the Voices of Fire gospel choir for ‘The Birds Don’t Sing’ in front of a crowd of over 250,000 people in St. Peter’s Square.

Clipse were first active as a duo from 1994 before going on hiatus in 2010 to focus on their solo careers. They temporarily reformed in both 2019 and 2022 – even appearing on stage together – before officially coming back in 2023.

In a three-star review of ‘Let God Sort Em Out’, NME wrote: “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ isn’t a total misfire: it’s composed, thoughtful and often impressively lyrically detailed. But after 16 years, Clipse didn’t come back knocking down doors and shocking the world. They came back to remind you they’re still here, still alive, still ruminating.”
