Coachella 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most legendary lineups in the festival's history.
With the addition of punk icons Green Day, alternative legends Weezer, and the historic booking of The Misfits. The original line-up of The Misfits that is. Fans are gearing up for a desert weekend filled with energy, nostalgia, and musical rebellion.
Green Day: Punk Royalty Hits the Desert
After decades of rocking on and delivering unforgettable anthems, Green Day is finally hitting the Coachella stage—and fans couldn’t be more hyped. With hits like American Idiot, Holiday, and Longview, Billie Joe Armstrong and the gang continue to inspire both OG fans and new listeners.
In a recent interview, Billie Joe Armstrong shared what he’s most looking forward to at the festival: "I can’t wait to see The Misfits, The Go-Go’s and Charli XCX."
Green Day’s set promises a full-throttle celebration of punk, pop, and protest. With their 2024 album Saviors and a resurgence of global tours, their appearance at Coachella cements their legacy as one of the most influential live bands of their generation.
Weezer Brings the Hooks and Hits
Weezer’s surprise addition to the 2025 lineup came after a few last-minute artist cancellations—and it was a gift to alternative rock fans. Known for blending heartfelt lyrics with guitar-driven pop hooks, the band will take the Mojave Stage on Saturday, April 11, and is expected to deliver fan favorites like Buddy Holly, Beverly Hills, and Undone – The Sweater Song.
Weezer continues to evolve their sound with each album, all while maintaining the geeky charm and sharp songwriting that made them a household name in the ‘90s. If you’re catching them live, don’t forget to check out the official Weezer merch on our site to show your love.
The Misfits Make Coachella History
One of the most talked-about bookings of Coachella 2025 is the inclusion of The Original Misfits, who are not only performing but making history. For the first time ever, Coachella is featuring a band’s logo on its official lineup poster—honouring The Misfits’ legendary status.
The Original Misfits—featuring original vocalist/songwriter Glenn Danzig, bassist Jerry Only, and guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein—will headline the Outdoor Theatre, bringing their horror punk chaos to the California desert. Their performance is more than just a set—it’s a tribute to the roots of punk, DIY ethics, and raw stage energy.
This moment marks a full-circle nod from Goldenvoice, the festival’s parent company, which had ties to The Misfits even before Coachella existed. From their sold-out reunion shows to appearances at Riot Fest, Madison Square Garden, and No Values, The Misfits have proven to be more than a legacy act—they're a punk institution. Their inclusion in this year’s lineup is not only historic but deeply symbolic of Coachella’s punk foundation.
A Look Back: The Legacy of Coachella
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival began in 1999 as a celebration of indie, alternative, and genre-defying music. Set in the desert landscape of Indio, California, Coachella has evolved into a pop culture phenomenon. Past lineups have included everyone from Radiohead and Prince to Beyoncé and Rage Against the Machine.
Coachella’s ability to blend the new and nostalgic is what keeps fans coming back—and 2025 is no exception. With a mix of pop stars like Charli XCX and legends like Green Day and The Misfits, this year's festival showcases the full spectrum of modern music.
