1. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga, the headliner for the first day, turned the desert into her personal stage filled with chaos and wonder. Her 90-minute performance was a theatrical odyssey split into five acts, each highlighting her exceptional artistry and storytelling. From the dark, dreamlike setting of "Abracadabra" to the vibrant choreography of "Poker Face," Gaga’s show was both a visual and auditory delight.
The audience erupted in cheers as she effortlessly wove together tracks from her latest album, Mayhem, with classic hits like "Bad Romance" and "Born This Way."
2. Tyla
South African sensation Tyla demonstrated why she is a formidable presence in the international music arena. Her energetic performance, featuring intricate choreography and a massive tiger statue, kept the audience dancing and cheering throughout.
Tyla's set celebrated her distinctive sound and lively stage presence, marking a successful comeback to Coachella after an injury prevented her from attending last year's festival. Her ability to take command of the stage and engage the audience earned her a well-deserved recognition as one of the standout performers of the day.
3. Mustard
Mustard's Coachella 2025 performance was a high-energy celebration of hip-hop and collaboration. Taking the stage with his signature charisma, he delivered a dynamic DJ set that had the crowd dancing non-stop. The highlight of his performance was the parade of special guests he brought out, including Tyga, 2 Chainz, YG, Big Sean, Roddy Ricch, and Ella Mai, each adding their unique flair to the show.
