In a thrilling weekend at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Lady Gaga captivated festivalgoers with her dramatic performance on the main stage, unveiling her new album, Mayhem. As she began her set with a visually charged number, attributed to a ritualistic vibe during "Bloody Mary," fans flocked to experience the pop sensation live.
Within the audience, members of the K-pop sensation Blackpink were also present, with Lisa dancing and enjoying fellow Korean act Enhypen's performance. Adding to the excitement, Benson Boone surprised the crowd by inviting Queen's legendary guitarist, Sir Brian May, to join him on stage for a powerful performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody," capped off with Boone's impressive front flip.
Celebrity sightings surged at the festival, with actor Timothee Chalamet and reality star Kylie Jenner blending in among festivalgoers. Lisa's performance was notably supported by her The White Lotus co-star Patrick Schwarzenegger, who shared a cheerful moment by recording himself vibing to her hit "Money." Other stars including Justin and Hailey Bieber, rapper Tate McRae, and rising star The Kid Laroi were seen enjoying the energetic set of Yeat on Friday night.
As anticipated, this year's lineup includes top acts like Megan Thee Stallion, Post Malone, and iconic punk band Green Day, all contributing to an atmosphere electrified by over 100,000 daily attendees. Alongside the music, Charli XCX got the crowd jumping with her upbeat tracks, complemented by surprise appearances from artists such as Troye Sivan, Lorde, and Billie Eilish, who joined her for the hit "Guess."
However, the festival didn't come without its challenges. Long traffic queues created chaos as attendees sought entry, battling sweltering desert conditions due to a newly implemented reservation system for campers, which led to waits of up to 12 hours.
Political commentary also found its way into the festival, with Senator Bernie Sanders addressing the crowd ahead of Clairo's performance, tackling issues with the Trump administration. Green Day further infused their act with activism, cleverly rewording familiar tracks to critique ongoing geopolitical issues.
Despite controversies in previous years, including audience one-off incidents and tech malfunctions experienced by artists like Grimes, Coachella continues to set the stage for a showcase of music, culture, and political conversation. With one weekend concluded and another upcoming, the festival maintains its status as a must-see event in California.
