In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent waves through the music industry, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has revealed its powerhouse lineup for 2025, featuring an extraordinary mix of global superstars and innovative artists.
Lady Gaga, who previously stepped in as a replacement headliner in 2017, is set to return to the desert stage triumphantly. The multiple Grammy winner, known for her electronic dance hits and theatrical performances, will bring her electrifying presence to the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.
Post Malone is joining the star-studded roster, marking his first official headlining performance at the festival. The “Sunflower” hitmaker, who previously made guest appearances and performed at the Sahara Tent in 2018, is expected to deliver his signature blend of hip-hop and rock that has captivated audiences worldwide.
In a surprising addition, punk rock legends Green Day will make their Coachella debut as headliners. While the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have never performed at the festival as a band, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s previous appearance with The Replacements in 2014 gave festival-goers a taste of what’s to come.
Travis Scott returns to the lineup after a complex history with the festival. Originally scheduled to headline in 2020 before the pandemic forced cancellation and later removed from the 2022 lineup following the tragic Astroworld incident, Scott’s inclusion signals a significant moment in his career revival.
The electronic music scene takes center stage with an impressive lineup featuring Zedd, Above & Beyond, and the pioneering electronic group Kraftwerk. Keinemusik, Amelie Lens, and The Prodigy add to the stellar electronic roster, promising mind-bending sets that will keep the desert dancing all night long.
Pop innovator Charli XCX brings her rave-inspired sounds to the festival, along with rising stars like Tyla, Benson Boone, and LISA. The diversity of genres continues with performances by Megan Thee Stallion, Missy Elliott, and FKA twigs.
The festival will run across two weekends: April 11-13 and April 18-20, 2025. For fans unable to attend in person, both weekends will stream live on YouTube, bringing the desert experience to global audiences.
