Coachella 2025’s opening weekend (April 11–13) delivered major moments both on and off stage.
Missy Elliott wowed the crowd with a high-energy, visually striking set — kicking things off by transforming from a car into herself onstage before powering through hits like “Work It” and “Lose Control” alongside 20 backup dancers.
Chris Brown and ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran were spotted sharing a brief, friendly exchange — their first public interaction since Tran’s restraining order eight years ago.
Lady Gaga brought theatre and nostalgia, blending new tracks from Mayhem with classics like “Bad Romance” and “Shallow”, and even staging a chess-themed dance battle.
Green Day used their Coachella debut to make a political statement, tweaking lyrics to criticise Donald Trump and show solidarity with Palestine. Their pyrotechnics, however, sparked controversy after igniting a palm tree.
Megan Thee Stallion’s set featured surprise guests Queen Latifah, Ciara, and Victoria Monét. Even after technical issues cut her mic, Megan kept the crowd hyped.
And Benson Boone teamed up with Queen’s Brian May for a show-stopping “Bohemian Rhapsody” duet.
