Coachella’s second weekend (April 18–20, 2025) saw a distinctive crowd shift toward an older, more relaxed vibe that many attendees found welcome and inspiring. Reddit discussions from r/coachella spotlighted fans drawn by headliners and artists like Kraftwerk and Beth Gibbons, who attracted festival-goers well into their 50s and beyond, dancing with energy and enthusiasm.
This "Weekend 2 older crowd" brought a stamina and chillness reminiscent of Austin City Limits, creating a considerate, inclusive atmosphere on site. While some noticed differences from Weekend 1, most agreed the demographic was actually similar—it’s the lineup’s diversity that shaped perceptions.
Headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott anchored a stacked and broad 2025 roster, with crowd favorites like Missy Elliott and Kraftwerk helping bridge generations of fans.
Ultimately, Weekend 2 demonstrated Coachella’s ability to unite all ages in the spirit of music and celebration, sending a fresh message: festival life is for everyone, and staying fit for the next round is a new motivation for many fans.
