Calvin Harris Head Trip 2026 Set: Full Recap and Setlist

Calvin Harris played his Head Trip 2026 set on Sunday, October 11, at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. He wasn't originally on the Day 2 lineup: a lightning warning ended Day 1 early, and festival organizers moved him to Sunday's bill. His 75-minute set of 22 songs became the emotional high point of a weekend that almost fell apart. Here's the full setlist, how the night unfolded, and why his late addition to Day 2 landed the way it did.

Day 2 Performers at Head Trip 2026

Head Trip 2026 ran October 10–11 at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the same venue used for Coachella.

Day 1 ended early at 9 p.m. on Saturday due to the lightning warning. The Day 2 lineup included Skrillex, Calvin Harris, and Swedish House Mafia as the closing headliner.

Fisher and Chris Lake, performing together as Under Construction, had been mid-set on Day 1 when the show was cut. (More: how Fisher and Chris Lake's Head Trip set ended mid-song.)

Head Trip Day 1 Lightning: Why Calvin Harris Moved to Sunday

Day 1 of Head Trip ended at 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 10, when a lightning warning was issued. Tropical Storm Rachel had moved into the Southern California coast, and festival staff cut the music.

Fisher and Chris Lake were playing Chris Lake's 2022 track "Turn Off the Lights" as Under Construction when the sound stopped. (More: the full story of how Head Trip Day 1 ended early.)

Calvin Harris had been on the Day 1 lineup. After the cutoff, Goldenvoice, the festival's promoter, confirmed he would be added to Day 2 instead.

That put him in the direct-support slot for Swedish House Mafia: the second-biggest position on the bill. But the tight schedule created its own problems on Sunday. Skrillex and Harris both ran close to their limits, pushing Swedish House Mafia roughly 20 minutes past their 11 p.m. scheduled start time. Goldenvoice now faces a potential $48,000 fine for the curfew violation.

The chaos also gave Harris one of the most memorable slots of the festival. He arrived as a last-minute addition, played a crowd that had already waited 24 hours for the festival to resume, and closed the night with Avicii's "Levels."
