US pop star Lady Gaga and rapper Post Malone will headline the Coachella festival in California in 2025. The rock band Green Day and rapper Travis Scott also lead the line-up at the planned concerts in April. Other acts announced by the festival include Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion and Charli XCX. From Germany, the electro-pop band Kraftwerk and the Keinmusik collective are among those taking part. General advance sales are scheduled to begin this Friday.
“I have long dreamed of having a huge night of chaos in the desert,” Lady Gaga wrote on Instagram about the announcement. She can’t wait to see all the fans singing along and dancing “until you drop.” In 2017, Lady Gaga stood in for Beyoncé at short notice at the Coachella Festival, who had to cancel due to her pregnancy.
The concerts take place on two consecutive weekends near the desert town of Indio. The line-up is identical on both dates. The first Coachella weekend is scheduled for April 11th to 13th and the second weekend is scheduled for April 18th to 20th.
Last year, music greats such as Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, Tyler, the Creator and No Doubt attracted hundreds of thousands of concertgoers as headliners.
Given Coachella’s history of pushing boundaries and embracing innovation, what specific technological advancements or experiential elements do you foresee influencing the festival experience in 2025?
