The long-anticipated lineup for Coachella 2025 is finally here, and it’s sparking a wave of excitement—and a few questions—among music fans. Set to unfold across two weekends in April, the festival is bringing a mix of heavy-hitters, nostalgic throwbacks, and rising stars to Indio, California. But does this year’s roster live up to the hype?
Headliners: Are These the Icons You Wanted?
Let’s start with the big names. Headlining this year’s event are Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Gaga’s theatrical flair, Green Day’s punk energy, Post Malone’s chart-dominating versatility, and Travis Scott’s dynamic performances are all marquee-worthy. But are these the headliners you were hoping for? Is this mix of pop, punk, and hip-hop enough to anchor the biggest festival of the year?
The Undercard: Brilliant or Missing Something?
Now, let’s talk about the undercard, which features an intriguing blend of genres and eras. Charli XCX and Missy Elliott are bringing pop and hip-hop power, while Megan Thee Stallion promises a show-stopping set. Fans of classic sounds get Kraftwerk and The Original Misfits, while BLACKPINK’s LISA and JENNIE (performing solo) offer a taste of global K-pop stardom.
Beth Gibbons of Portishead, FKA twigs, and Clairo are sure to appeal to alternative and experimental fans, while indie gems like The Marías and Japanese Breakfast balance the lineup. But what about the newer acts like beabadoobee and ENHYPEN? Are they the fresh faces you were hoping to see, or are you craving something bolder?
Surprises and Collaborations: Enough to Excite?
One of Coachella’s calling cards is its surprises, and this year doesn’t disappoint. Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic will bring orchestral magic, while Arca, T-Pain, and Yo Gabba Gabba! add quirky, genre-defying vibes. Is this mix eclectic enough for you, or were you hoping for more boundary-pushing collaborations?
Tickets: Worth the Price?
General admission passes start at $599, with VIP options beginning at $1,399. Fans from the 2023 and 2024 festivals have priority, and pre-sale starts this Friday, November 22, at 11:00 a.m. PT. Are you ready to lock in your tickets, or are you holding out for the rumored surprise additions to the lineup?
