COACHELLA 2025: SETS TO SEE AND PLACES TO BE

By Nicole Ghapgharan

April 7, 2025

It's that time again—when your out-of-office message becomes a brag, your group chats turn into spreadsheet threads and you find yourself weighing the pros and cons of catching a 1am DJ set after a tequila tasting.

Yes, Coachella is back, and 2025’s edition feels bigger, brasher and more back-to-back than ever. Whether you’re heading east for the music, the meetings or the margs, here are some things that should be on your radar.

With headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone at the helm—and a return to the desert for Travis Scott—it’s no surprise that Coachella 2025 is already generating serious buzz.

But the top-liners are just the beginning; this year’s roster pulls talent from every corner, offering something for just about everyone. Among the other must-sees are Missy Elliott, Benson Boone, Charli xcx, The Original Misfits, Mustard, Megan Thee Stallion, Zedd, The Marías, Keinemusik and Junior H, plus K-pop powerhouses LISA, JENNIE and ENHYPEN. Add the usual chaos generated by the Do LaB crew and the return of the Quasar stage and your schedule’s already toast.

The list below won’t exactly help streamline your plans—but it’s a solid roundup of sets I can’t wait to catch and events I fully intend to finesse my way into.

Die-hard fan or just in it for the 'gram, Coachella ’25 promises two weekends of CBD-infused cocktails, reverse-osmosis popsicles, dust and at least one fashion choice I’ll regret by Monday.

Sunscreen up, crack a PATRÓN EL ALTO mini and scroll on. Set times here.
