Coachella 2025 Recap!

Coachella Sweeped the nation once again for 2025. With everyone glued to their phones to see clips of the performers, tune into their favorite vloggers videos from the weekend or to go themselves. Coachella truly offers everyone something to look forward to. So, here are some of the highlights from the two weekends. 

Starting with some of the best performances the festival hosted. Megan Thee Stallion took the stage on April 13th with some of the greats including Ciara, Victoria Monét and Queen Latifah. Megan brought out all the hits for the show including Thot Sh*t, Wanna Be, Cognac Queen, Bigger in Texas, Big Ole Freak and more. Not only did she sing all the favorites, Meg was dancing and keeping the crowd engaged with her true, over-the-top Coachella performance. 

Lady Gaga took the headlining stage, truly showing the audience who she is. Her performance was themed as “The Art of Personal Chaos,” and had an elaborate stage set to really give the crowd a show. The stage was decorated with an opera house of sorts with extremely gothic additions to it. According to Vinyl Me Please, the performance was split into five acts: Velvet and Vice, And She Fell Into a Gothic Dream, The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name, To Wake Her Is to Lose Her, Eternal Aria of the Monster Art. The performance was meant to show the crowd what fame can do to an artist and the toll it takes on them as a person. Through hits like Abracadabra, Bloody Mary, Poker Face, Paparazzi, Alejandro, Die With a Smile, Born this Way and Bad Romance Gaga walked her fans through more than a performance but a story. 

Welcome to Bratchella everyone, because Charli XCX came to Coachella 2025 and her performance will not be forgotten. After Brat summer in 2024, the trademark green could still be seen throughout the entire Coachella crowd throughout Charli’s performance. She brought out some of her pop icon friends like Troye Sivan, Billie Eilish and Lorde to create the ultimate Brat performance. She sang some of her top hits like 365, Von Dutch, Club Classics, Apple – with Quen Blackwell and Alex Consani performing the famous dance – Girl, So Confusing, Guess, Track 10 and of course her iconic I Love It. The chemistry with all the artists was electric and gave the fans a top tier performance. 

Of course that’s not all, Benson Boone performed the world famous, Bohemian Rhapsody, with Brian May, Queen guitarist, truly bringing a once in a lifetime icon to the Coachella stage. Bernie Sanders took the stage with Clario to urge young voters to be more politically literate and to educate themselves on issues that matter to them (this was on NO ONE’s 2025 bingo card). Green Day had a phenomenal performance playing all their hits and proving they truly earned that headliner position. 

There was a lot of discourse online about this year's Coachella not really feeling like a true Coachella weekend but with the surprise guests, amazing performances and Bernie Sanders I have to disagree. This year really showed guests every genre of music and kept the fans on their toes for what’s to come next. What do you think? 

Let me know your thoughts if you see me at Movin’ On THIS FRIDAY NIGHT at the IM Fields for the 50th anniversary show. Can’t wait to party!
