Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott are set to headline Coachella in 2025, marking an exciting lineup for music festival enthusiasts. Scott will introduce an immersive experience titled “CatcusCon,” designed to complement his performance scheduled after Green Day on Saturday nights. This will be a significant moment for Scott, who had previously faced setbacks in his Coachella journey, particularly after the 2020 festival was canceled due to COVID-19 and his removal from the 2022 lineup following the tragedy at his Astroworld concert in 2021.
Lady Gaga will make her return to Coachella as a headliner, having previously stepped in for Beyoncé in 2017. Post Malone has a history of performing at Coachella but will step into the spotlight as a headliner for the first time. Meanwhile, Green Day will finally make their Coachella debut after 37 years in the music industry. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong emphasized the enduring power of rock and roll in his remarks, highlighting the necessity of music’s rebellious spirit in today’s world.
The festival will also feature an array of other performers, including Megan Thee Stallion, Charli xcx, Missy Elliot, and members of K-pop sensation Blackpink, who will perform separately this year after their joint headlining act in 2023. This year’s festival promises a diverse lineup that reflects varied musical styles and the vibrant cultural influences shaping the modern music scene.
Coachella will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, over two weekends in April 2025: from April 11-13 and April 18-20.
Overall, this year’s festival brings together a beloved mix of established artists, which generates excitement and anticipation for festival-goers. It represents not just a return to live music post-pandemic but also the ongoing relevance of diverse musical expressions in the contemporary cultural landscape.
