The Weeknd Plans 'Ferris Wheel Takeover' at Coachella 2025

The Weeknd has announced a 'Ferris wheel takeover' at Coachella's second weekend, promoting his upcoming psychological thriller film and album, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow.' While details of the takeover remain undisclosed, the event is expected to center on the festival’s iconic Ferris wheel, with The Weeknd teasing fans on Instagram but not specifying if he will appear in person. The film, directed by Trey Edward Shults and starring The Weeknd alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, follows a musician plagued by insomnia who embarks on a transformative journey. 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' is based on The Weeknd’s sixth studio album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and is set for theatrical release on May 16. This marks The Weeknd’s return to Coachella after a guest appearance in 2023 and previous headlining slots in 2018 and 2022. His involvement adds to a lineup headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott.
