Coachella 2025 Features Record Lineup, High Temperatures

Coachella 2025’s first weekend concluded with record online viewership and a widely praised lineup featuring major acts like Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and K-pop stars, as well as a vibrant mix of emerging talent. Lady Gaga’s dramatic, high-energy headline set received critical acclaim and was called one of the festival’s best ever, while Charli XCX and Megan Thee Stallion delivered standout performances alongside surprise guest appearances from artists like Lorde and Billie Eilish. The festival’s fashion scene sparked debate, with attendees embracing both nostalgic bohemian styles and sustainable fashion, reflecting evolving attitudes toward self-expression and environmental impact. Online streaming made the event more accessible than ever, though controversy arose after Irish rap group Kneecap claimed their pro-Palestine message was censored during the livestream. The festival also saw notable appearances from public figures, such as Senator Bernie Sanders introducing Clairo, and last-minute lineup changes with acts like Weezer and Ed Sheeran stepping in. As anticipation builds for the second weekend, fans and critics agree that Coachella 2025 has been one of the most exciting and dynamic editions in years.
