A vibrant fusion of global sounds lit up the desert across two electrifying weekends

Coachella, also known as Chella, was an annual music festival that had been held since 1999 in Indio, California. Renowned as one of the largest and most diverse festivals in the world, it showcased musicians from a wide range of genres, including pop, rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic. Coachella 2025 once again delivered a spectacular experience, offering two weekends filled with music and creativity from April 11–13 and 18–20 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

In 2025, Coachella presented grand performances full of surprises. Lady Gaga, one of the festival’s biggest headliners, opened the event with an extraordinary theatrical show. She transformed the desert into a gothic opera stage, taking the audience on a dramatic musical and visual journey. Her performance also marked the launch of her latest album Mayhem, featuring iconic songs like “Poker Face” and “Bloody Mary,” accompanied by stunning megastructural costumes.

Coachella 2025 also featured a remarkable solo performance by BLACKPINK’s Lisa. Taking over the Sahara Stage, she captivated the audience with her hit songs “LALISA” and “MONEY.” Her set was packed with high energy and intense choreography, including a moment where she lay on the stage while dancing with male dancers. Lisa added a personal touch by referencing her role in the HBO series The White Lotus.

In addition to Gaga and Lisa, many other top global artists lit up the stages at Coachella 2025. Charli XCX delivered a vibrant set featuring tracks from her Brat (2024) album, with surprise appearances from Troye Sivan and Billie Eilish. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion, Missy Elliott, and Zedd thrilled the crowd with their distinct musical styles. Post Malone and Green Day also added to the excitement with their iconic hits—highlighted by a special rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” performed by Benson Boone alongside Queen’s Brian May.

Jennie of BLACKPINK made headlines with her first-ever solo performance at Coachella on Sunday, April 14, 2025 (local time). Her captivating stage presence and strong live vocals earned widespread praise from fans and netizens alike.

Coachella 2025 was more than just a music festival. With its wide-ranging genres and unexpected collaborations, the event became a global stage celebrating cultural identity and diversity. It also served as a gathering space for artists and fans to connect, share experiences, and enjoy music from across the world.

For many, Coachella remained a highly anticipated annual tradition. It was not just entertainment—it was a celebration of art, diversity, and evolving creativity. As one of the world’s most iconic music festivals, Coachella 2025 successfully demonstrated the unifying power of music in bringing together communities and cultures from around the globe.
