To Animal Rights Organizations
Moby has announced that he will donate 100% of his profits from his performances at Coachella to a selection of leading animal rights organizations, following a phenomenal return to the iconic California stage on Friday night. “My main job in life is working as an animal rights activist, and to that end my hope is to use the revenue and attention from my Coachella show to draw attention to, and financially support, animal rights organizations,” he says.
While there are countless of animal rights organizations that need our help, Moby has chosen to donate all his Coachella to the following:
- Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
- Mercy For Animals
- The Humane League
- Direct Action Everywhere
The announcement continues a long-standing commitment from Moby to align his music with activism. His sold-out 2024 European tour saw 100% of profits donated to animal rights organizations, reinforcing an ethos that consistently places purpose before profit.
Moby returns to Coachella as the only act featured on the original 1999 lineup. Leading the “extremely hyped-up crowd” (The Guardian) through his career hits, the electronic artist surprised the festival with a special appearance from Jacob Lusk, who joined Moby on “When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die” and “Natural Blues” with an emotional vocal performance.

Jacob Lusk first joined Moby for a reimagining of “When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die”, first featured as the final track of 1995’s Everything’s Wrong before beginning 2026’s Future Quiet. The song has found a powerful new global audience in recent years through its use in the Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things, becoming Moby’s most streamed song and introducing his music to an entirely new generation of listeners. The 2026 reworking with Lusk reframed the track for a contemporary moment.

With Coachella in April, followed by a sweeping 28-date European tour from June to August, Moby’s 2026 live plans represent one of the most significant touring moments of his career. This is not simply a return to the stage, but a defining new phase–one that connects past, present and a new generation of listeners across Europe.
