Coachella 2025 Features Green Day, Lady Gaga, Record Heat

The 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has kicked off in Indio, California, featuring a diverse lineup that includes global superstars like Lady Gaga and Green Day, alongside emerging artists. Day 1 highlighted performances by the Go-Go's, who reunited for the festival, showcasing their classic hits and demonstrating their enduring appeal despite past tensions within the band. The festival is drawing renewed attention after last year's disappointing ticket sales, and this year's tickets have sold rapidly, aided by a carefully curated lineup in response to prior criticism. However, some artists, like FKA twigs, faced setbacks due to visa issues, further complicating the landscape for international acts. With weather forecasts predicting extreme heat, festival-goers are being urged to stay hydrated and take precautions. The festival continues to evolve, blending nostalgia with new sounds across its multiple stages.
