Coachella 2025: Troye Sivan, Billie Eilish, Trixie Mattel, VINCINT, Anitta, Japanese Breakfast, Clairo, and More LGBTQ Artists Take the Desert Stage

For two consecutive weekends the desert town of Indio becomes an epicenter for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. And this year, LGBTQ artists are commanding the stage for both weekends of festivities.

It was hard to miss the buzz around Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga and her elaborate and heartfelt return, this time bringing her “Abracadabra” goth eleganza for the masses to enjoy.

Also making a huge splash the first weekend was Megan Thee Stallion who bought out hip hop royalty Queen Latifah to join her on stage to sing her iconic hit “U.N.I.T.Y.” In addition to the Queen, Megan also got emotional when she danced with Ciara and also got down and dirty with Victoria Monet.
