Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival //
Empire Polo Club – Indio, CA
April 11th-13th & April 18th-20th, 2025 //
Surprise! Just when you thought Coachella didn’t have any more tricks up its sleeve, the famed three-day music festival has caught us off guard once again — in this instance, by unleashing a lineup more than six weeks ahead of what we have normally witnessed.
It has become a New Year’s tradition over last two decades for Goldenvoice to pull back the curtains in early January and put out the renowned poster for its signature event every year, but after seeing Paul Tollett and company announce the roster for its country-themed festival Stagecoach in September and reports beginning to swirl this week once Post Malone let the cat out of the bag on his plans, maybe it shouldn’t come as a total shock that Coachella has given fans an early Christmas gift.
Leading the 24th edition will be Lady Gaga, Green Day and the aforementioned Posty, who dropped his 2025 tour schedule only a day ago with the first two dates booked for Indio this April and falling over the same two weekends Coachella had already locked down in the spring.
Below each day’s headliner, this year’s fest features an array of old-school, established and upstart acts spanning everything from pop and R&B to punk and electronic plus more of course. There’s no shortage of talent to point out here, and some of those worth highlighting include Missy Elliott, Charli XCX, Megan Thee Stallion, Benson Boone, Misfits, Zedd, The Marías, Keinemusik, Junior H, LISA, Above & Beyond, JENNIE, The Prodigy, Anitta, Kraftwerk, Parcels, Ivan Cornejo, beabadoobee, FKA twigs, Clairo, Polo & Pan, Mustard, ENHYPHEN, XG, GloRilla, Shoreline Mafia, Basement Jaxx, The Go-Go’s, T-Pain, Keshi, MARINA, Hanumankind, Chase & Status, Sam Fender, Still Woozy, Japanese Breakfast, Beth Gibbons, Jessie Murph, Thee Sacred Souls, Darkside, Arca, Eli Brown, Gustavo Dudamel & LA Phil, Shaboozey, Miike Snow, Jimmy Eat World, Ty Dolla $ign, Circle Jerks, Three 6 Mafia, Viagra Boys, Chris Lorenzo, Disco Lines, Amyl and the Sniffers, Blonde Redhead and Boris Brejcha. See who else is performing at the Empire Polo Club above.
Of course we would be remiss to not also mention the fourth headliner listed at the bottom of the poster that Coachella instituted in 2022 when Swedish House Mafia returned to the desert. And although 2023 saw Calvin Harris hold down the spot before No Doubt reunited to fill it for 2024, Coachella has gone in the direction of hip-hop this time around with Travis Scott set to “design the desert.” For those who are wondering what exactly that means, a representative for the Grammy-nominated rapper has explained he will “debut an entirely new era of music” as well as curate a Cactus Jack takeover to create what he says will be “a fully immersive and experiential world within the desert.” No word on when Scott will hit the stage over Weekend 1 and Weekend 2, but we expect that to become clear in a few months once set times are released.
If you are sold on heading to the desert next year, Goldenvoice recommends that fans try purchasing tickets for Weekend 2. However, you can hop on the wait list for Weekend 1 here after both three-day GA and VIP passes go on sale here this Friday, November 22nd at 11 a.m. PT. It only takes $49 to get this party started! While official hotel packages will be available here through Valley Music Travel, we should also note that new camping options such as upgraded Ready-Set and La Campana tents will make their debut. Whichever weekend you choose and whatever your accommodations are, we wish every Coachellan the best of luck securing their tickets!
I hope to have the opportunity to join you all in the future and share that special moment together.

UPDATE (March 20th): We have our first artist cancellation this year, with Anitta citing “unexpected personal reasons” for the decision in a statement posted on social media. No word yet on who might replace the Brazilian singer-songwriter, but stayed tuned here for more details in the coming weeks.
