coachella 2025 lineup

On Wednesday, Coachella 2025 organizers announced the lineup for this year’s festival, revealing that Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone will headline the event, while Travis Scott will make a special guest appearance.

Missy Elliott, Charli Coachella takes place over two three-day weekends in the spring, this year on April 11–13 and April 18–20. As per the scheduled programme, Hanumankind will perform on Saturday. However, it has not been made clear whether it will happen on April 12 or April 19.

The line-up was revealed several months earlier than usual, a day after Post Malone released his own tour schedule that he would perform concerts during anticipated festival dates in Indio.

Scott’s performance will come four years after he headlined the 2020 festival, which was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

South Africa’s Tayla will feature in the 2025 edition after missing out last year due to injury. Other works of interest include a retreat into the desert for renowned conductor Gustavo Dudamel, Brazil’s Anita and electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk with the LA Philharmonic.

Last year’s festival was headlined by Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat and Tyler, the Creator. It also included a special reunion performance of No Doubt. Taylor Swift was also a force to be reckoned with at the arena on the side of the San Jacinto Mountains in 2024 — though as a spectator, not a performer. For Indian fans, Diljit’s performance at the festival was the highlight, as he brought Punjabi music to the prestigious festival for the first time.
