Sara Landry And Amelie Lens At Coachella: New Electrifying Performance
Sara Landry ’s surprise collaboration with Amelie Lens at Coachella 2025 offered a compelling moment within the festival’s expanding techno landscape. The back-to-back-to-back (b3b) set, which also included Indira Paganotto, unfolded on the Do Lab stage, engaging a dedicated segment of the audience.
Sara Landry’s style is characterised by relentless, high-BPM tracks that have spiritual intensity. Her productions and performances often push tempos beyond 155 BPM, which remains relatively uncommon on mainstream festival stages. This approach situates her within a niche of hard techno that demands physical and mental engagement from listeners. Her debut album, Spiritual Driveby, illustrates her commitment to this sound, which is abrasive and ritualistic.
Amelie Lens, by contrast, has cultivated a reputation as a festival headliner whose productions often incorporate her vocals, a choice that has drawn mixed reactions. Some listeners find her vocal contributions detract from the otherwise polished production quality, describing them as incongruent with the darker techno aesthetic she pursues. Others argue that her voice complements the mood of her tracks, especially in the context of harder, trance-influenced techno. Lens’s presence on stage, therefore, adds a layer of complexity to the set, blending her brand-driven appeal with Landry’s more underground ethos.
The b3b set functioned more as a live dialogue between three artists who share a commitment to techno’s harder edges. The set’s energy focused on rhythmic intensity kept the crowd physically engaged. This collaboration also highlights a broader trend in electronic music festivals: the elevation of female DJs who command significant followings and bring distinct stylistic approaches.
