Coachella, the premier music festival on the U.S. West Coast, lived up to its reputation in 2025. There will be a musical performance at the event. Musical heavyweights Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone were the event's main acts. Charli XCX, Travis Scott, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Ed Sheeran, Sam Fender, Beth Gibbons, and Misfits were among the other notable performers. The international flavour of the lineup was enhanced by the solo performances of Lisa and Jennie from BLACKPINK.

A number of unexpected guest appearances were also enjoyed by the fans. While Queen's iconic guitarist Brian May stunned the audience by performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" with Benson Boone—a tribute to the late Freddie Mercury that left fans speechless—Charli XCX was joined on stage by Lorde, Billie Eilish, and Troye Sivan.
