Day 2 of Coachella 2025 might have had a cooler weather, but names like Charli XCX and ENHYPEN totally brought the heat back. Let’s break down the top five jaw-dropping moments:
#5. Green Day brings punk therapy and a message
Billie Joe Armstrong had a message and a mission. Kicking off with “American Idiot,” the band brought their political side. Switching up lyrics to call out MAGA, they delivered a set filled with hits from the past that totally resonated with today’s climate.
Love this! Green Day changed the lyrics of “American Idiot” during their Coachella set to trash Trump “I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda!” I’m sure MAGA won’t like this one! pic.twitter.com/BIv1ZMk4pO

#4. Travis Scott lights up his new era
Travis hit the stage near midnight and made sure to get the people hyped in the right way! Previewing two unreleased bangers (“She Goin Dumb” and “On Jacques”), the rapper turned the desert into his playground, teasing a potential new era.

The fastest K-pop group to hit Coachella? That’s ENHYPEN. With a cinematic stage, they served vocals, visuals, and the right vibes. Their fanbase? Screaming. Their performance? Flawless.
