Matteo Milleri Closes Coachella: “Anyma” Redefines the Live Concert Experience
Matteo Milleri closed the Main Stage at Coachella, the iconic California music festival. delivering one of the most significant moments of the 2026 edition. The Italian-American artist and producer is the creative force behind Anyma, the project through which he has redefined what a live electronic music experience can be. His performance — built as an immersive experience integrating electronic music, cutting-edge digital art, and AI-driven technology — proposes a new way of conceiving the live concert: somewhere between live performance, digital installation, and a fully realized world of its own.
Anyma’s appearance on the main stage came after the cancellation of his set during the first weekend, due to adverse weather conditions that prevented the full production from being assembled. In the second weekend, Milleri returned to the Main Stage with the debut of ÆDEN, his new live show, presented in the festival’s closing slot — turning the initial postponement into a high-visibility finale within a lineup that included, among others, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G.
Anyma is Milleri’s solo project. Already known as one half of the duo Tale of Us and co-founder of the Afterlife label, Milleri pushes further here into the integration of electronic production, sci-fi imagery, and digital art — a sensibility rooted in his visual arts training at Milan’s Scuola Mohole, a school specializing in creative professions. The Coachella show develops this universe through digital figures and environments that interact with the music in real time, building a sequence of visual tableaux synchronized to the beat, culminating in moments designed for social media circulation — such as the live premiere of the track “Bad Angel” featuring LISA, K-pop star and member of South Korean girl group Blackpink.
Milleri’s trajectory stands as an example of how electronic music can become a platform for technological and narrative experimentation. Following his residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas — a first for an electronic music project at that venue — closing Coachella confirms Milleri as a major figure at the intersection of music, visual arts, and digital innovation on a global scale. Based in Berlin and operating at the crossroads of European club culture and international festival circuits, he represents a model of Italian-American creative identity that moves fluidly across borders — on stage, on screen, and across platforms.
