Calling all music lovers! Buckle up, because the lineup for the highly anticipated 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is here, and it promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of the California desert. This year's Coachella boasts a diverse and electrifying roster of headliners. Pop icon Lady Gaga, known for her outrageous performances and chart-topping hits, will grace the stage on both Fridays (April 11th and 18th). Green Day, the legendary punk rock band, brings their high-energy anthems to Coachella for the first time, headlining the Saturday nights (April 12th and 19th).
Post Malone, a Coachella veteran who last performed in 2018, returns for a special "career-spanning set" on the two Sundays (April 13th and 20th). Travis Scott, another familiar face at Coachella, will also perform on Saturdays (details below). Travis Scott's inclusion in the lineup marks a significant return for the rapper. Billed as "Travis Scott Designs the Desert," his set promises a groundbreaking experience. According to a press release, Scott will "debut an entirely new era of music to the world," leaving fans eagerly anticipating what he has in store. Beyond the headliners, the 2025 Coachella lineup boasts an impressive undercard. Fans can groove to the legendary sounds of Missy Elliott, dance the night away with Charli XCX, and experience the iconic punk energy of The Original Misfits. Megan Thee Stallion brings her fierce energy, while Gustavo Dudamel conducts the LA Phil for a truly unique Coachella experience. Nostalgia seekers will be delighted by sets from The Go-Gos, while BLACKPINK members Jennie and Lisa take the stage as solo artists.
Presale for Coachella 2025 kicks off on Friday, November 22nd, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. Those who attended and purchased passes in 2023 and 2024 get early access starting at 11:00 AM Pacific Time on Thursday, November 21st.

This year, Coachella is upping the VIP experience with new areas offering specialty drinks, additional bars, shaded lounges, and flushable restrooms. YouTube returns as the exclusive livestream partner, allowing fans who can't make it to the festival to still experience the magic. The early release of the Coachella lineup has sparked curiosity. Traditionally announced in January, this year's reveal came several weeks earlier. Some speculate it's a strategic move to generate excitement after lagging ticket sales in the past two years. Post Malone's "Big Ass Stadium Tour" announcement with Coachella dates likely fueled the speculation machine. With a diverse lineup, exciting new experiences, and a return to the desert, Coachella 2025 promises to be a landmark festival. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the headliners or eager to discover new music, this festival offers something for everyone.
