Coachella's audience was alive with excitement as Lady Gaga took to the stage, captivating festivalgoers with a dramatic presentation featuring her newest songs from the album "Mayhem." She kicked off her set with a theatrical interpretation of "Bloody Mary," captivating fans as pop icons cheered her on from the audience. Blackpink’s Lisa was spotted dancing to Enhypen’s performance shortly after her own, while Benson Boone wowed the crowd by pulling in Queen’s legendary Brian May for an electrifying cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Among the celebrity attendees, actor Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were seen enjoying the festivities, while Patrick Schwarzenegger showed support for Lisa during her set by filming himself singing along to her popular tune "Money." Other stars like Justin and Hailey Bieber and American singer Tate McRae also brought their dancing shoes for Yeat's Friday show.

This year's lineup is stacked with major acts like Megan Thee Stallion, Green Day, and Post Malone, drawing over 100,000 attendees each day. Charli XCX brought nostalgia with her "brat summer" hits and welcomed unexpected guest appearances from Troye Sivan, Billie Eilish, and Lorde, further raising the festival spirit.

Despite the fun, attendees faced long wait times with the new reservation system causing a chaotic entry experience. Some fans were held in traffic for up to 12 hours in intense desert heat.

Coachella has reflected changing social dynamics this year too. Bernie Sanders made a political statement before Clairo's set, urging the younger generation to engage with current issues, while Green Day adapted their lyrics to address global events during their headlining performance.

With the festival set to continue, many fans are hoping for smoother experiences and even more surprises next weekend!
