Well well well, look who’s decided to RSVP “yes” to the desert’s most chaotic music party — it’s Ed “Loop Pedal King” Sheeran and Weezer, the gods of geek rock themselves!
Here’s the scoop: on April 4th, FKA Twigs announced she was tapping out of Coachella 2025 due to that pesky, eternal nemesis — visa issues. (Seriously, the only thing harder than getting into Coachella is getting into the country for it.)
But fear not, flower crown-wearing festival warriors — because not one, but TWO musical heavyweights have stepped in to fill the twigs-shaped hole in the lineup.
Enter: Weezer and Ed Sheeran.
Let’s start with Weezer, the band that’s been awkwardly rocking out since before some of y’all were born. They’re sliding into the Mojave Stage on Weekend One, specifically Saturday, April 12th at 3:10 PM — aka prime “I’m sunburnt and dehydrated but still vibing” hours.
They even hit the ‘Gram with a message:
“A desert surprise 🌵 see you at @coachella on the Mojave stage next Saturday @ 3:10 🤘🏻”
Translation: Get ready for “Beverly Hills” and “Island in the Sun” to slap different in 110-degree heat.
Now onto Ed Sheeran, a man so committed to the acoustic guitar he probably sleeps spooning one. He’s making his Coachella debut (yes, somehow this is his first one) on Weekend Two, also on the Mojave Stage, but at 3:00 PM on Saturday, April 26th.
He’ll probably show up in a hoodie, sing about heartbreak, and then casually blow the roof off the stage (which is impressive because…it’s a tent).
Oh, and the man just dropped a new song called “Azizam” (bless you), and casually mentioned he’s already got titles for his next FIVE albums. Ed, blink twice if you need a vacation.
In case you’ve been too busy gluing rhinestones to your cowboy boots to notice, Coachella 2025 is STACKED. We’re talking Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone as headliners. Plus, Travis Scott is apparently doing a full-on career retrospective — so yes, emotional rollercoasters are included in the ticket price.
Also performing: BLACKPINK’s Lisa AND Jennie (solo sets!!), Tyla, Megan Thee Stallion, Charli XCX, Benson Boone, and a bunch of other artists who will make you say, “Wait, I’ve heard this on TikTok!”
FKA Twigs will be missed, but with Ed and Weezer jumping in, Coachella 2025 just got even weirder, sweatier, and somehow… more nostalgic. Pack your glitter, kids — the Mojave Stage is about to be unhinged.
