The post-Coachella blues have hit hard for many fans, especially after Green Day’s deeply emotional Saturday performance on Weekend 2. Attendees, particularly those in their mid-20s who grew up with the band’s music, have been sharing heartfelt reflections, replaying the set, and soaking in those moments of joy and connection.
The community is rallying together with tips on coping—staying busy, cherishing memories, and looking ahead to future festivals. Excitement is already building for next year’s Coachella, with early ticket sales underway and anticipation growing for the Portola Festival lineup dropping next week, adding fresh buzz to the scene.

Additional Context
Green Day’s set was notable not just for its emotional resonance but also for its political edge. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong updated lyrics in songs like “American Idiot” to comment on current U.S. politics and show support for the Palestinian cause. However, the band also sparked controversy for pyrotechnics that triggered a palm tree fire, stirring sensitivity due to recent wildfire concerns.
Meanwhile, the newly launched Portola Festival in San Francisco is now a hot topic, with its lineup reveal expected next week, providing festival fans with something exciting to look forward to.
