“As Alive as You Need Me to Be” by Nine Inch Noize (Coachella 2026)

For this year’s Coachella festival, Nine Inch Nails teamed up with producer Boys Noize — who previously contributed to the soundtracks for Challengers and Tron: Ares — to form Nine Inch Noize. Along with Trent Reznor’s wife, Mariqueen Maandig (How to Destroy Angels, West Indian Girl), the supergroup then proceeded to melt the faces of Coachella attendees. That is, if this performance of “As Alive as You Need Me to Be” from the Tron: Ares soundtrack is any indication.

Some have gone so far as to call Nine Inch Noize’s performance one of Coachella’s best ever. The festival has posted a couple of other songs from the set — specifically, “Heresy” and “Closer” from The Downward Spiral — but here’s hoping that the entire thing is eventually uploaded in full 4K. But if that doesn’t happen, we can still look forward to the upcoming Nine Inch Noize album, which will be released this Friday, April 17, 2026.
