Last night marked the launch of Coachella 2025 as one of the biggest music festivals in North America, if not the entire world, took flight in Indio, California. Making its grand return to the Empire Polo Club for back-to-back weekends, Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival 2025 is also delivering a multi-channel live stream, including the newly launched Quasar stage.

Weekend one spans from Friday, April 11 through Sunday, April 13, while Weekend two runs from Friday, April 18 through Sunday, April 20. For those unable to attend the annual festivities in person, be sure to tune into all the desert action through the annual “Couchella” live stream broadcast. Each of the channels will offer a rebroadcast following each of the streams’ end until they begin again with live sets at 4pm PT/7pm EST on Saturday and Sunday.

Coachella 2025 – Day 1 – Weekend 1 highlights:

A packed Quasar stage for both performances: A daytime soulful, groovy, and vibey set from Coco & Breezy with Kaleena Zanders; and a nighttime ensemble from underground mainstays The Martinez Brothers with Loco Dice.
Lady Gaga closing the Coachella Stage, transformed into an opera house in the desert, with a mixture of some of her biggest hits and new songs from her March 7^th album release, MAYHEM. Atop of the over-the-top stage design and theatrics, Gaga brought out special guest Gesaffelstein to perform their song “Killah,” which she recently live debuted while serving as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. She’s had a massive year so far with a performance to open the Super Bowl, a Song of the Year GRAMMY Award win for “Die With A Smile” with Bruno Mars, a MasterCard partnership and premiere of her latest smash hit single “Abracadabra,” finally appeared on Hot Ones, and now headlining Coachella, all just over the course of about three months.
LISA delivering a top-tier pop performance at Sahara, fully equipped with a stellar production, great song selection, five costume changes, lasers, and let’s not forget about a crowd that poured out of the tent from each side.
The Prodigy delivering a live set at Mojave that was full of nostalgia and a stunning visual experience, equipped with a jaw-dropping laser lightshow
Chris Stussy at Yuma brought massive lines for entry. The Yuma tent has evolved into the new Sahara, with bigger lineups than Coachella’s of yesteryear, but the space is not big enough to accommodate most acts. There’s also the lack of a live stream channel across both weekends, which is an odd choice, given the strength of the lineups, especially over the past few festival editions, and the diversity of the Sahara.
Benson Boone had the Coachella Stage roaring with his set, where he also debuted the title track from his forthcoming album Young American Heart, which he announced is due for release on June 20. He brought out surprise guest Brian May of Queen for a performance of “Bohemian Rapsody,” where he played on additional songs, including “Beautiful Things.”
UK breakout talent Lola Young made her Coachella debut at Mojave, bringing a more-than-solid vocal performance, as well as nerves and a little bit of vomit (likely from a combination of nerves, the desert heat, excitement/adrenaline, and as she also stated, drinking too much liquid too quickly).
Added Day 1 highlights: Mustard, Marina, A.G. Cook, PARISI, Joe Keery of Stranger Things who performs under the name Djo, Three Six Mafia (with guests MGK, Travis Barker, Wiz Khalifa), Sara Landry, and Tyla (with special guest Becky G), among others.

This year’s Coachella headliners are Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone, with Travis Scott. Additionally, artists with top billing include Charli XCX, Above & Beyond, Missy Elliott, Zedd, Benson Boone, Keinemusik, LISA, Megan Thee Stallion, Junior H, Kraftwerk, JENNIE, Clairo, Mustard, The Prodigy, The Marías, Weezer, The Original Misfits, Polo & Pan, Marina, and many more. Find all the set times for Coachella 2025, Day 2, Weekend 1, Saturday, April 12, below.

Even though there will be no live stream broadcast from the Yuma tent during weekend 1, it’s likely that it will be available for the weekend 2 stream, which is what organizers have done in recent years. Judging by the amount of interaction across the multi-channel live stream, it’s clear that aside from the Coachella Stage, the best performing channels are those with heavy electronic influences and performers, including Sahara and Quasar. Perhaps Coachella organizers should take note and stream Yuma for both weekends in 2026, given that the stage now hosts many top-tier dance acts and would likely draw a dedicated audience. Additionally, while viewers at home were grateful to have a dedicated Quasar stream this year, it broadcasted as a vertical stream, likely catered to mobile viewers. It’s great to be able to experience the full sets live, however, the Quasar stage is a work of art, so that stream should definitely broadcast in horizontal format for maximum and ideal viewing.

COACHELLA 2025 SET TIMES – DAY 2 – WEEKEND 1 – SATURDAY, APRIL 12

In addition to the notorious stages of Coachella: Coachella Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Sahara, Mojave, Yuma, Gobi, Sonora, and now Quasar, there’s also the DoLab stage, which similarly to Quasar, focuses on dance music acts. Additionally, on-site performances take place at the Heineken House, and let’s not forget – this year Chris Lake provided the opening Thursday night set at the campgrounds.

This year, the return of Quasar brings another round of stand-out dance music heavy hitters. Today, for Coachella 2025 – Day 1 – Weekend 1 – Saturday, April 12, the Quasar stage hosts Barry Can’t Swim x 2manydjs x salute at 8:15pm PT and Fcukers (DJ set) x HAAi at 6pm PT. Yesterday, the Quasar stage takeover included Coco & Breezy x Kaleena Zanders, followed by The Martinez Brothers x Loco Dice. Tomorrow’s Quasar sets include Odd Mob, and the legendary Tiësto.
