Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone are set to headline what’s shaping up to be a scorching Coachella music festival in 2025. Kicking off April 11, the iconic desert event returns to the Coachella Valley with temperatures expected to soar past 37.8°C (100°F), thanks to a dome of high pressure triggering a mini heatwave across Southern California.
Festival organizers are urging attendees to stay hydrated and protected from the sun while enjoying a stacked opening-day lineup, including performances by Missy Elliott, Australian electropop group Parcels, and a rare U.S. appearance from British rave-punk legends The Prodigy.

Lady Gaga will open the weekend with a bang, promising “a massive night of chaos” in celebration of her new album Mayhem. Meanwhile, Green Day returns to the festival with a message that rock music is more essential than ever, and Post Malone will close the event with his Sunday night headline set.
Other major acts across the weekend include Megan Thee Stallion, Charli XCX, Travis Scott, and South African sensation Tyla, who makes her Coachella debut after withdrawing last year due to injury.
Rock Revival and Genre-Bending Highlights
Coachella 2025 signals a return to its rock roots. Alongside Green Day, fans can catch legendary acts like The Go-Go’s, Jimmy Eat World, and the original Misfits. Saturday also brings a unique sunset performance from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.
