Coachella 2025 was a music and arts festival that took place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California on April 11–13 and April 18–20, 2025. It is the 24th edition of the festival. The headlining performers were Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. The festival spanned two weekends, featuring a mix of rock, pop, hip-hop, electronic, and indie artists.[1]
Background
[edit]The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, sometimes referred to as "Coachella Festival" or simply "Coachella," is held annually at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, United States. Founded by Paul Tollett and Rick Van Santen in 1999,[2] the event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, pop, indie, hip hop and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures.[3][4]
Lineup
[edit]Post Malone was widely reported to be the Coachella Sunday headliner on November 19, 2024 when the announced dates for his Big Ass Stadium Tour included two shows in Indio, California that coincided with the previously confirmed dates for the festival.[5][6] Though no official confirmation was initially made that Post Malone would be headlining, Coachella subsequently released the initial wave of performers the following day on November 20, two months earlier than their usual announcement date, which included Malone atop the bill on Sunday. The other two headliners, Lady Gaga on the Friday and Green Day on the Saturday, were also revealed on the poster.[7] While originally not being attached to a specific day, Travis Scott was given a special performance slot and has been subsequently referred to as one of the headliners of the festival.[8] Lady Gaga is the only return headliner, having previous topped the bill at the 2017 festival and is only the second woman to headline Coachella twice, following Björk, who performed in 2002 and 2007. Scott was announced to headliner the 2020 edition of the festival which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lineup also includes a set by the Go-Go's, the band's first performance together since their disbandment in 2022.[9] The Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, made history when they became the first classical orchestra to perform at Coachella.[10] Both Anitta (singer) and FKA Twigs were announced on the lineup, but cancelled for various reasons.
