Sombr surprised fans during his Coachella set with a surprise duet with Billy Corgan.
The moment came during Sombr’s sunset set at the Outdoor Theatre yesterday (April 11), where he performed a slew of fan-favourite hits as well as delivering the live debut of a new track ‘Potential’.
Halfway through the set, he brought out Corgan, marking the Smashing Pumpkins frontman’s first ever time performing at the festival.
Corgan joined for a cover of the band’s hit ‘1979’, which has seen a resurgence among Gen-Z in recent weeks, with the track trending on TikTok and Instagram.
