Coachella 2025 was headlined by Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone, with additional performances from the likes of Charli XCX, Travis Scott, Kneecap, Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Beth Gibbons, Misfits, Benson Boone, Japanese Breakfast, The Prodigy, solo performances from BLACKPINK‘s Jennie and Lisa and many more.
Among the headlines from Coachella 2025 were a mini-feud between fans of Charli XCX and Green Day. Tensions rose after Green Day closed out the main stage on day two of Coachella, with Charli performing right before them. At an afterparty, Charli XCX ruffled feathers by donning a “Miss Should Be Headliner” sash, which was interpreted as a dig towards Green Day.
Elsewhere, Kneecap turned heads as well. During their week one performance, their livestream was cut out after they voiced their support for a free Palestine, and also led the crowd in a provocative anti-Margaret Thatcher chant. “Not only was that cut,” they later said, referring to the Thatcher refrain, “our messaging on the US-backed genocide in Gaza somehow never appeared on screens either.” This incident kicked off a wave of criticism towards the group, even resulting in tour cancellations and even Kneecap’s Mo Chara facing terror charges in the UK.
