As any loyal Little Monster knows, it’s been a good year to be a Lady Gaga fan. Last month, Mother Monster dropped what has been widely regarded as one of her best albums in a while, titled Mayhem, a release full of anthem rock-inspired hits that throw it back to Gaga’s late-aughts glory days. And what better time to promote a new album than the opening day of Coachella? That’s what we imagine Stefani Germanotta asked herself, anyway, since she’s currently slated to play the very first evening of the famous California music festival.
Gaga will be among other starry headliners, including Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Other musical acts scheduled to entertain the masses at Coachella 2025 are Charli XCX, Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, Kraftwerk, The Prodigy, Mustard, A. G. Cook, Tyla, The Go-Go’s, Japanese Breakfast, Arca, Ravyn Lenae, and Weezer, per Pitchfork. This year’s festival is split across two weekends, with the first taking place April 11 through April 13, and the second from April 18-20.
While twirling under the sun in Indio sounds pretty nice to us, not everyone is lucky enough to catch Coachella in person. Thankfully, the festival has a livestream option to tune in to all of your favorite artists’ sets, whether you’re watching from the couch or moshing in the crowd. Looking to catch Lady Gaga’s Coachella set? We’ve got you covered.
What time is Lady Gaga performing at Coachella? Coachella gave the queen the closing slot tonight. Gaga is slated to perform at 11:10 p.m. PT on April 11, or 2:10 a.m. ET on April 12. East coast Gaga fans are in for a late night if they want to catch her set live.
Tuning into Gaga’s livestream is easy. Coachella is conveniently offering YouTube livestream feeds for each of its stages: the Main Stage, Outdoor Theater, Sahara Stage, Mojave Stage, Gobi Stage, and Sonora Stage. Gaga’s performance will take place at the Main Stage starting at 11:10 p.m. PT on April 11.
What is on Lady Gaga’s Coachella setlist? Gaga’s Coachella setlist hasn’t been revealed just yet. However, we can likely expect to hear some hits from Mayhem, including “Abracadabra,” “Killah,” or “Disease.” Some fans on Reddit are also expecting classic songs like “Poker Face,” “Just Dance,” and “Bad Romance” to make the cut. If you ask us, the night wouldn’t be complete without a deep cut like “Free Woman” or “Scheiße,” but we’ll have to wait and see!
Lady Gaga will take the main stage at Coachella tonight, and you can watch the event live below. She was announced as the headliner shortly after the release of her new album, Mayhem. This marks the second time Lady Gaga has performed at Coachella; the first was in 2017, when she stepped in last minute to replace Beyoncé, who was unable to perform. Lady Gaga is scheduled to perform live tonight at 11 PM PT (see worldwide timetable below), and for a second time, the next weekend.
She was recently heard rehearsing a mix of her classic hits along with new songs from Mayhem. So far, the setlist appears to include: “Bad Romance,” “Disease,” “Garden of Eden,” “How Bad Do U Want Me,” “Poker Face,” “Killah,” “Shallow,” and “Vanish Into You.”
Gather 'round Little Monsters, for I've got a treat for you. Clips from Lady Gaga's Coachella soundcheck were leaked on Thursday, teasing a set list full of Mayhem and a few older classics. Lady Gaga is headlining the 2025 Coachella Festival in celebration of her newest album, so fans were already pretty certain that they could expect plenty of songs off of Mayhem, and—spoiler alert—the handful of leaks appear to confirm this hunch.
No official set list has been released, but, thanks to one Little Monster, we have some idea of what she might be performing. On Thursday, @lmeipy on Twitter shared a handful of videos supposedly from Gaga's Coachella soundcheck. The leaks don't give a sneak peek of the actual set itself (they appear to have been filmed from a campground), but you can hear the tracks pretty clearly. A majority of the tracks recorded were from Gaga's new album Mayhem, including “How Bad Do U Want Me” and “Vanish Into You.” But, there was also a surprise throwback in the mix. In one video, “Poker Face” can clearly be heard coming from the loudspeakers. A Gaga classic if ever there was one! In another tweet, @lmeipy also said that he heard “Judas” and “Poker Face.” When asked if they heard any tracks off Artpop, the Twitter user confirmed that it didn't appear to be on the setlist—at least not for the soundcheck.
Of course, what's performed at soundcheck isn't always a reflection of the actual performance. Other than the Mayhem tracks, all we know for sure about Gaga's performance is that it's going to be epic. When the festival lineup was first announced, the artist wrote on Instagram that she'd “had a vision I've never been able to fully realize at Coachella” that she feels will finally come to fruition—so I'd expect elaborate dance sequences, set pieces, and stunning fashion. Speaking to Rolling Stone more recently, she teased, “We're crafting it moment by moment. I can't wait to do it... I love singing for people and making people happy.”
Lady Gaga's Coachella set will begin Friday at 11:10 p.m. PST, and will be available to stream on various platforms. Clips from Lady Gaga's Coachella soundcheck were leaked on Thursday, April 10, 2025, and the soundcheck leaks included 'How Bad Do U Want Me' and 'Vanish Into You' from the album Mayhem. The soundcheck also included the song 'Poker Face'.
It was a night of pure Mayhem as headliner Lady Gaga returned to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday. Mother Monster, as she's lovingly referred to by fans, delivered a showstopping performance full of beloved hits such as "Bad Romance" and "Shallow," while also performing songs off her latest album Mayhem for the first time.
