The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is back, and 2025 is shaping up to be one for the history books as next year’s festival season is looking bright. With an electrifying lineup featuring global superstars Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, this year’s edition promises to deliver unforgettable performances across two weekends: April 11–13 and April 18–20.
Lady Gaga will bring her signature theatrical flair to the festival’s opening nights, headlining on April 11 and April 18. Known for her show-stopping performances and powerhouse vocals, Gaga last graced the Coachella stage in 2017, filling in for Beyoncé. This year, she’s sharing the spotlight with a stellar supporting cast, including hip-hop legend Missy Elliott, rising star Benson Boone, hip-hop pioneers Three 6 Mafia, electronic icons The Prodigy, and indie favorite Miike Snow. Fans can expect Gaga’s performance to set the tone for an electrifying weekend in the desert.
Rock fans, rejoice! Night Two will see Green Day make their long-awaited Coachella debut on April 12 and April 19. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are sure to deliver anthems that span their iconic career. Joining them are genre-bending pop sensation Charli XCX, punk legends The Original Misfits featuring Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only, and EDM trailblazers Above & Beyond. A packed lineup of critically acclaimed artists, including Clairo, Sam Fender, T-Pain, and Jimmy Eat World, rounds out the night. Expect punk rock energy and dancefloor euphoria under the desert sky.
The festival’s final nights, April 13 and April 20, will see Post Malone take the stage for a headline performance that blends introspective hits and crowd-pleasing bangers. Posty, who first performed at Coachella in 2018 and made a surprise appearance during Bad Bunny’s 2023 set, is ready to take center stage. Joining him is none other than rap powerhouse Megan Thee Stallion, ensuring a high-energy, unforgettable finale. The night also features EDM titan Zedd, breakout star Beabadoobee, the irreverent Shaboozey, R&B favorite Ty Dolla $ign, and hardcore punk icons Circle Jerks.
While Travis Scott’s official performance slot remains under wraps, he’s set to leave his mark in a unique way. The enigmatic “designs the desert” billing hints at a groundbreaking artistic project. Details remain a mystery, but if Scott’s past endeavors are any indication, it will be a showstopper. More than a music festival, Coachella is a celebration of art, culture, and creativity. Attendees can explore immersive art installations, savor diverse culinary offerings, and bask in the magic of the Empire Polo Club’s scenic beauty.
