The Coachella 2025 festival was marked by significant organizational challenges, including severe traffic gridlocks and malfunctioning wristband scanners. Despite sweltering temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, attendees were ultimately rewarded with captivating performances. Headliners included Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, and Post Malone, alongside surprise appearances from Billie Eilish and others. Particularly noteworthy was Seun Kuti and Egypt 80’s Afrobeat performance that resonated with a message of social justice and heritage. The event showcased the usual ups and downs of festival life, reminding everyone of the unpredictable yet vibrant spirit of Coachella.
No Coachella is complete without chaos. This year's edition kicked off with a big ol' traffic jam. By day two, the wristband scanners briefly stopped working. Also, temperatures occasionally soared over 100 degrees.
Low: Coachella carmageddon. Cars running out of gas, people walking miles to bathrooms, over 12 hours in gridlock - getting to Coachella 2025 was an immersive Mad Max prequel for thousands of campers.
High: Fela-chella. Flanked by a visual with the faces of Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, and Marcus Garvey, Seun Kuti and his band Egypt 80 tore through a blistering Afrobeat setlist.
Weird week for Weezer. They were only added to Coachella's lineup the prior Saturday, filling a slot vacated by FKA Twigs. But that didn't stop Shriner from missing Weezer's 12-song set.
