Lady Gaga, Post Malone and More Tattooed Artists Who Rocked Coachella 2025 Weekend One

Coachella 2025 Weekend One delivered epic sets from Post Malone, Lady Gaga, Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, and more!

Coachella 2025 Weekend One brought the heat — literally and musically. From surprise guests to massive reunions, some of our favorite inked artists lit up the desert with unforgettable sets. Here’s a look at the performers who stood out on stage and brought serious energy to Indio.

Post Malone

Post closed out the weekend with a crowd-pleasing mix of emotional ballads and fan-favorite anthems. His stripped-down moments with just a guitar hit just as hard as the full-production numbers. From start to finish, he reminded everyone why he remains one of music’s most versatile headliners.

Travis Scott

Saturday night belonged to Travis Scott. With a full brass band, surprise visuals, and a setlist packed with hits, he turned Coachella into a cinematic experience. The energy was nonstop, and the crowd was locked in from the first drop to the final firework flame.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s performance was pure spectacle. From powerful vocals to theatrical costume changes, she gave a masterclass in pop performance. Mixing fan-favorites with deep cuts, her set was as visually captivating as it was vocally flawless.

Gaga’s latest album, “Mayhem,” released on March 7, 2025, has been a focal point of her recent performances, including her headlining set at Coachella 2025. The album delves into themes of love, chaos, fame, identity, and desire, blending synth-pop with industrial dance, electro, disco, funk, and rock elements. Critics have lauded “Mayhem” as a return to Gaga’s pop roots, drawing stylistic comparisons to icons like David Bowie, Madonna, and Prince.

Billie Eilish

Billie brought a moody, hypnotic energy to the stage, blending her signature whisper-smooth vocals with bursts of intensity. She moved effortlessly between melancholy ballads and bass-heavy crowd-pleasers. Her confidence and command of the stage felt next level.

Keshi

Keshi’s set was intimate and emotional, yet still carried major festival energy. He kept the crowd fully engaged with haunting vocals and a smooth setlist that blended indie, R&B, and pop effortlessly — a standout for fans who love depth with their vibe.

Three 6 Mafia

Bringing the party to the Sahara tent, Three 6 Mafia had the crowd bouncing from the first beat. Their decades-long catalog hit hard live, and the surprise cameo from MGK turned things up even further. Pure chaos — in the best way.

Machine Gun Kelly

Travis Barker

Travis Barker made multiple appearances throughout the weekend, and every one of them hit. Whether backing a surprise guest or leading a live drum break, his drumming added a raw, live feel that elevated every performance he touched.

Viagra Boys

Viagra Boys delivered one of the most unapologetically wild sets of the weekend. Their gritty punk sound and off-the-rails stage antics kept fans locked in and unsure of what might happen next — and that’s exactly the point.

Shoreline Mafia

Back together again, Shoreline Mafia showed up loud and united. Their set was a high-energy reminder of why they built such a loyal following. The crowd knew every word, and the vibe felt like a homecoming.

Shaboozey

Shaboozey brought a fresh sound that blended country, hip-hop, and alternative in a way only he can. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” had the entire crowd moving, and his easy confidence on stage made him one of the most talked-about newcomers of the weekend.

The Beaches

The Beaches brought rock ‘n roll attitude and didn’t hold back. Their gritty vocals, bold instrumentals, and crowd interaction made their set feel more like a takeover than a debut. They left their mark—and picked up plenty of new fans in the process.

From pop powerhouses to punk chaos and genre-blending newcomers, Weekend One was stacked with unforgettable sets that proved the stage is still the best place for raw, unfiltered artistry.
