Coachella 2025 Friday Recap: Tyla, LISA, Benson Boone, Mustard & More

Coachella 2025 got off to both a literal and figurative hot start on Friday (April 11), with daytime temperatures in the desert hitting 100-degrees and a cavalcade of stars gracing the festival’s many stages.

Among them were hip-hop legend Missy Elliott, South African star Tyla, pop queen LISA, rapper GloRilla and many others including Lady Gaga, who brought her new album Mayhem to Coachella with a headlining set that featured big hits, many dancers and opulent costumes on a stage designed to look like an opera house.

Lady Gaga first headlined Coachella almost a decade ago, in 2017, but not on purpose. The superstar stepped in to replace Beyoncé, who had then-just revealed her pregnancy to the public. Beyoncé returned to headline the festival in 2018 but tonight, on the first night of Coachella 2025, it was Gaga’s turn. And this time, everything was intentional.

On Friday, Gaga celebrated “Mayhem In the Desert” – as her own on-site merchandise pop-up teased – with a spellbinding and ominous set. Titled “The Art Of Personal Chaos,” the two-hour show may have been disguised as a concert, but what took place was nothing short of a carefully crafted commentary on fame and performance – and the cost of keeping both up.

Or, as Gaga’s two selves said on screens bookending the stage, staring at one another but speaking to the masses: “This is the manifesto of mayhem.

And this was just the first of Coachella’s three days, which continue Saturday (April 12) with performances by Travis Scott, Charli XCX and many more. Below, you can find more highlights from Coachella day one, with additional recaps to follow on Saturday and Sunday.
