Everything is ready in the desert for the Coachella Festival. Here are the names

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festivathe Coachella It is one of the best known and expected festivals of the year. Born in 1999 but grown as importance since 2001 (in 2000, given the poor success of the debut, the event was not held), which takes place in April on three days, has become an event in which music and style meet but also, in the past, an important opportunity to bring the bands that had melted in life. Among the many reunions we remember i Jane’s Addiction (2001), Bauhaus (2005), Rage Against tea Machine And Tea Jesus and and Mary Chain (2007), Verve (2008), Guns n ‘Roses (2016), Destinys Child with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland And Michelle Williams (2018).

The Festival takes place at a hundred miles from Los Angeles, on the fields of the Empire Polo Club of Indio, in the Coachella Valley in California, a large area in the desert, where in addition to the concert area there are village, camping and parking spaces and with often high temperatures.

The event has always had great success, both between the public and among the artists who boasted participation and met at the Coachella. For a few years, however, it has been no more. In the period 2020 2021, the Covid emergency prevented the regular performance of the event and from the following 2022 on its return the festival struggled to recover the glories of previous years.

Also this year the situation was not the best. If in the gold era of the festival the sold out were quick for the latest editions, the sale of tickets did not do the same exploits. So it was also for this 2024, also thanks to the cost of the entrances that has grown considerably.

In addition, the coachella is suffering from “competition”, over the years, other festivals were born and grown in the neighboring areas and thus the strength of the event has faded by causing a repercussions on the whole event.

Even for 2025 there were important defections: Anit He renounced with the generic formula “unexpected personal motivations”. More precise instead i Massive Attack, with Robert Del Naja (3D) who declined the invitation considering the event not sustainable from an environmental point of view and underlining the negative impact of the desert setting, describing the place as a golf resort that uses public water resources in a questionable way. Also the two 90 calibers Kendrick Lamar And Rihanna They have given up writing their name as headliner in the edition that will start next weekend.

Despite the difficulties, the 2025 edition has closed its line up, is ready to leave and will take place in two weekends: 11/13 and 18/20 April by placing artists like the already announced on the billboards Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone And Travis Scott to which they have recently been added Weezer (Saturday 11 at 3:10 pm on the Pacific Stage) e Ed Sheeran (Sunday 12 at 3:00 pm on the Pacific Stage). In addition to these names they will be on the seven stages of the coachella: Charli XCX Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, Kraftwerk, Mustard, Tyla, Japanese Breakfast, Arca, Gel And many others. Also Fka twigs He should have played in both Friday dates, but was forced to erase his performances due to problems with the visa.

The characteristics of the event provides that the cast repeats itself on both weekends.

To close the first day the headliner will take care of it Lady Gaga That at 11:10 pm will rise on the main stage, the Coachella Stage, preceded by Missy Elliott which will perform at 9 pm.
