XG on their phenomenal Coachella debut, new music and being on tour together

They’ve always been an IYKYK group. But the tides of fate are changing, and these seven girls are on the cusp of something even bigger than they know. The past week has been a mighty switch-up for the inimitable septet that is XG, who’s just had their proper first taste of superstardom ever since their phenomenal festival stage in the desert.

Namely, their Coachella debut. Courtesy of XGALX“Coachella is a huge stage we’ve dreamed about for so many years, and honestly, it still doesn’t feel real that we’re performing here,” muses Chisa. Surreal doesn’t even begin to cover it then.



But we’re fairly certain they’re not the only ones feeling it. All over the Internet, there’s been a consistent buzz surrounding the septet’s Sahara stage set in the Colorado desert—unexpected, yet absolutely electrifying. It’s only been three years since they debuted, but the first Coachella weekend was already bonafide proof that these girls are the real deal.

Promising epic vibes, they started their hour-long setlist with the exhilarating and indescribable intro that would be all-too-familiar to fans of the group, the cosmic killer combination of ‘Hesonoo’ and ‘X-Gene’ together. Other recognisable hits were scattered through the set—think the animalistic ‘Woke Up’ or the catchy dance appeal of ‘Left Right’. Plenty of beloved tracks from their latest Awe album also made the list, like the addictive ‘IYKYK’ or a vocally-driven rendition of ‘Is This Love’.

All before the girls took it away with the rousing magnetism of R&B favourite ‘Shooting Star’. Cementing their station as one of the most memorable debuts out in the desert, the group made sure the crowd would be chanting ‘XG’ by the end of it. In all of an hour, XG proved a singular truth: strip away the futuristic concepts and high-octane visuals, you’ll still be met with a performance powerhouse, a group of seven bold girls whose live vocals and stage charisma are unmatched for a group so young in their years.

Ahead of their Coachella turn this year, Vogue Singapore spoke to the girls of XG—Jurin, Cocona, Harvey, Juria, Maya, Chisa and Hinata—and had them take us through their mindset for the major festival debut, new music and what the pack of seven is working towards next.The post XG on their phenomenal Coachella debut, new music and being on tour together appeared first on Vogue Singapore..
