As the year draws to a close, music fans are eagerly anticipating the announcement of the Coachella 2025 lineup. While industry insiders are speculating about potential headliners, the exact lineup remains a mystery. That said, rumors have arisen that Fred again.. will be not only a lock, but a headliner of the festival.
According to the outlet HITS Daily Double, the young sensation would be among the first on Coachella’s flyer next year. However, the rest of the top-tier acts are still up in the air. There are speculations that a country music star with pop appeal, such as Jelly Roll, Morgan Wallen, or Post Malone, might be included in the lineup.
Another question mark is who will fill the sub-headliner special guest spot that was occupied by No Doubt last year and Calvin Harris the year before. While Fred again.. is a strong contender, it’s possible he could even be a headliner this year.
Two notable artists who will not be headlining Coachella in 2025 are Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar. Both artists have declined the opportunity, citing other commitments — Lamar gearing up for the Super Bowl, and Rihanna not needing the slot at the festival due to how big of an artist and entrepreneur she has become.
