Can you imagine walking into a desert heatwave and seeing a man covered in head-to-toe tattoos who sounds like a 1960s soul legend? This is exactly what will happen when Teddy Swims takes the stage for his Coachella 2026 debut.
Many people expect a rapper because of his rugged look and face ink. Instead, they’ll get a beautiful visual glitch that proves you should never judge a book by its cover.

One viewer said they can’t wait to see him perform live. Many said that they bought tickets just for him. Another person wrote that his voice is like butter mixed with gravel, in the best way possible.
His hard work in the desert heat is just like his big night in London. Before he was the talk of the California desert, he proved himself on a massive global stage. This earlier show at the BRIT Awards 2025 was the perfect trailer for his current success. It showed the world that he has enough vocal power to bridge the gap between pop and country.
