Australian rising star Ninajirachi just leveled up in a major way at Coachella 2026, bringing out none other than Porter Robinson for a surprise appearance, and debuting an unreleased collaboration in the process.
Taking over the Sonora stage during weekend one, Ninajirachi teased the crowd with a simple question before delivering the moment: a brand new track created with a “friend.” Moments later, Porter Robinson walked onstage, sending the audience into a frenzy as the two premiered their long-rumored collab live for the first time.
The surprise didn’t come completely out of nowhere. In the days leading up to the festival, fans noticed cryptic hints pointing toward a joint appearance, including a countdown embedded on Robinson’s website that aligned perfectly with Ninajirachi’s set time.
While the track remains officially unreleased, and its title unconfirmed, it’s already generating buzz across the electronic community. Early speculation suggests the song may be called ‘WannaCry,‘ a nod to the glitchy, malware-inspired visuals Robinson teased ahead of the performance.
The debut marks another major milestone for Ninajirachi, whose breakout album, I Love My Computer, has rapidly elevated her global profile and positioned her as one of the most exciting new voices in electronic music. For Porter Robinson, the moment feels equally significant. His surprise return to the Coachella stage, and to a more club-forward sound, signals a continued evolution, while also reconnecting with the next generation of producers shaping the scene.
With festival season just getting started, this debut could be the first glimpse of what might become one of the year’s most talked-about collaborations.
