Coachella 2025's first weekend saw Lady Gaga deliver a legendary headlining set, while Gustavo Dudamel's orchestral collaborations were a standout non-main stage performance. Surprise collaborations included Lorde, Billie Eilish, and Troye Sivan with Charli XCX. Post Malone's country-infused set and a strong rock lineup featuring Green Day also impressed. Breakout stars Lola Young and Kneecap garnered attention, and Blackpink's Lisa shone in her solo performance. Outstanding In The Field provided a high-end culinary experience, and the Red Bull Mirage was a notable new addition.
