Lady Gaga made a big return to the stage at Coachella, headlining the festival for the first time in eight years. She danced with skeletons, fought a monster, and even threw in an unexpected encore.
“Welcome to my house of mayhem,” she shouted, kicking off a high-energy show with songs from her new album ‘Mayhem’ and older hits like “Judas” and “Poker Face.” The crowd went wild for every beat.
Over the two-hour performance, Gaga kept fans guessing with a sprint of costume changes—from a red gown to metallic armor. She didn’t hold back, and the audience ate it up.
Fans, many from the LGBTQ+ community she champions, showed up loud and proud. Men hugged and kissed in the crowd, cheering for their “Mother Monster.”
One of her songs, “Born This Way,” has long been a Pride anthem. It even inspired her nonprofit foundation focused on youth mental health and anti-bullying.
Gaga is now gearing up for her 2025 ‘Mayhem Ball’ tour. Her newest album is already a chart-topper in both the U.S. and U.K. with hits like “Die With a Smile” featuring Bruno Mars.
The last time she headlined Coachella was in 2017, filling in for Beyoncé. This year, she owned the spotlight—and fans are ready for more.
