Peaches Refuses to Let Progress Be Dragged Backward
Peaches has never treated art like harmless decoration, and she certainly is not starting now. The master musician and performance artist sat down with 3voor12 Radio presenter Eva Cleven backstage at Down The Rabbit Hole 2026 for a conversation about music, activism, self-expression and the backwards political rhetoric trying to drag modern life into yesterday.
The interview arrives as Peaches continues the charge behind her latest album, No Lube So Rude, a record that plants bodily autonomy, identity and basic human rights directly on the dance floor. Raunch, humor and social politics remain gloriously tangled together because, in Peaches’ world, the personal has always been political—and the beat still has work to do.

Cleven’s questions open the door to the absurdity of watching hard-won freedoms suddenly get treated like optional extras. Peaches answers with the same directness that has powered more than two decades of music, performance and glorious resistance: people should not have to shrink, soften or rewrite themselves to make somebody else comfortable.
Her call to action is not wrapped in a lecture. It is the deceptively simple reminder that “you are okay to be who you are.” That message lands with extra force when gender, queer rights and women’s autonomy are again being dragged into political crosshairs as though society learned absolutely nothing.
Peaches has spent her career kicking holes through gender boxes with a sharp joke in one hand and a middle finger in the other. The scenery may change, but thee assignment remains the same: make room, tell the truth and refuse to let fear decide who gets to live freely.
Inside Peaches’ 3voor12 Interview at Down The Rabbit Hole
The backstage conversation brings Peaches and Eva Cleven together for a direct exchange on music, identity, activism and the current political climate.
The exchange is funny, pointed and very Peaches: no empty rebellion, no neat separation between creativity and consequence, and absolutely no interest in pretending the current moment is normal.
