Moby has announced that he will donate 100% of his profits from his performances at Coachella to a selection of leading animal rights organisations, following a phenomenal return to the iconic California stage on Friday night.
A defining moment of the performance came with a guest appearance from Jacob Lusk, who joined Moby on ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die’ and ‘Natural Blues’, delivering an emotionally euphoric high point to the set.
Speaking on the initiative, Moby said:
“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. There are countless amazing organisations globally, but for the profits from Coachella I’ll be donating 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 2024 European shows – all sold out – saw 100% of profits donated to animal rights organisations, reinforcing an ethos that consistently places purpose before profit.
The Coachella performances mark the start of a major run of live activity in 2026, with a 28-date European tour set to follow from June through August. Spanning the continent from Denmark to Greece, and Ireland to Bulgaria, the tour will combine major festivals, historic venues and open-air settings – including sold-out UK shows at On The Beach, Brighton, London’s Old Royal Naval College and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Kilmainham, Dublin – bringing his latest album Future Quiet to life alongside a catalogue that has shaped electronic music for over three decades.
Released earlier this year, Future Quiet signals a more introspective chapter – built around piano minimalism and ambient composition – reflecting a growing need for stillness in an increasingly chaotic world.
