Christmas… err, the Coachella line-up arrived early, giving you the opportunity to deliver the coolest stocking stuffer ever (even if you end up delivering it to yourself). The big desert fest returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA for two weekends set for Apr. 11 – 13 and Apr. 18 – 20, 2025. Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone will headline. Plus, Travis Scott designs the desert.
Other notable big font names include Charli XCX, Missy Elliott, Parcels, FKA twigs, Clairo, Beth Gibbons, Darkside, Ivan Cornejo, Polo & Pan, Basement Jaxx, The Original Misfits (logo intact, natch), and Kraftwerk (!!!).
And, of course, even more KCRW faves are scattered all throughout the list. See: Ginger Root, Fcukers, Maribou State, Rayvyn Lenae, Hope Tala, Thee Sacred Souls, Glass Beams, and so many (many) more.
Everyone knows that the funnest part of all this is parsing the poster for days and catching new names every time. So grab your finest toothed comb and get to scanning. And if your days of trekking through festival crowds are behind you, no worries whatsoever. YouTube returns in 2025 as the exclusive livestream partner for both Coachella weekends on the fest’s official YouTube channel; bringing the legendary performances and so much more to millions of music fans across the globe. And watch this space for a handy new KCRW Couchella Guide.
