Top Highlights from Coachella 2025 Weekend One

From Charli to Gaga, Coachella 2025 has us in a Chokehold

It’s that time of year again where all our fave influencers, celebs and music icons take over the desert for Coachella.

It’s the festival which gave us the iconic Ferris wheel, rainbow stairs, chaotic outfit judging and of course, next-level performances from the biggest names in music, all in the scorching Palm Springs heat.

And let’s just say, weekend one delivered. Here are the moments we cannot stop talking about.

Charli XCX with Billie, Troye and Lorde.

Charli XCX served full Brat, performing songs from her iconic album with some insane surprise appearances.

Troye Sivan joined Charli on stage to perform their “Talk Talk” remix, followed by Lorde, who teamed up with Charli for a live debut of “Girl, So Confusing”.

And to top it all off?

Billie Eilish came on to perform their collab “Guess”.

Yeah, now we have massive FOMO.

Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga headlined the show on Friday night with a massive two-hour set. She played fan faves, fresh tracks and served with multiple costume changes.

We honestly wouldn’t expect anything less from Gaga.

Benson Boone with Brian May.

Benson Boone not only made his Coachella debut on Friday night, but shocked the crowd by bringing out Brian May, the legendary guitarist for Queen, during his cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

But of course, he wore his signature light blue bodysuit and didn’t forget to show off his front flipping skills.

Turns out Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are Brat stans too!

The couple were spotted front and centre during Charli XCX’s set, absolutely thriving and vibing.
