Coachella 2025 wrapped with a dynamic lineup blending fresh voices and notable throwbacks, including headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Fans are buzzing, especially over standout sets by Missy Elliott, LISA, and Megan Thee Stallion, plus historic moments like The Go-Go’s reunion and the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s debut on the Coachella stage under Gustavo Dudamel.
Though T-Pain, Three 6 Mafia, and The Killers didn’t appear on the bill, the vocal Coachella subreddit community has ignited discussions on the festival’s direction. Early 2000s nostalgia is the hot topic, with calls for bookings like The Killers, TV on the Radio, Ludacris, Fall Out Boy, and even reunions like Spice Girls. Some fans want heavier rock icons like Korn and System of a Down included, while others urge caution against turning Coachella into a nostalgia-only event at the expense of fresh sounds.
The consensus? Fans crave a smart balance—more millennial throwback acts woven alongside new talent, keeping the festival’s cutting-edge reputation while honoring the decade that shaped today’s music landscape. Expect this mix to factor into Goldenvoice’s next booking rounds. The conversation illustrates the evolving vibe of Coachella 2025’s audience: they want to vibe with the past without losing sight of the future.
