On April 21, 2025, fans celebrated Japanese girl group XG after their Weekend 2 performance at Coachella 2025. The group took to the Sahara Stage by storm and delivered a vocally charged set. Fans believe it instantly silenced rumors of lip-syncing.
During the performance, members intentionally paused their vocals to make it clear they were singing live. Netizens saw this act as a direct clapback to critics who questioned their performance authenticity last weekend.

Social media erupted with praise as fans praised the performance. They pointed out moments where members like Maya and Cocona highlighted their raw vocals by playing with the timing of their delivery. They interacted with the mic in ways that emphasized the live sound.
The group's confident display of control, presence, and vocal stability left no room for doubt. Fans couldn't stop praising how loud and clear their vocals were. An X user, @Hypeboy_Jurin, wrote,
