The Biggest Moments from Coachella Weekend Two

Weekend two of Coachella 2025 came in hot—both literally and figuratively. While the first weekend set the bar with surprise guests and show-stopping style, weekend two said, “Hold my kombucha,” and doubled down on the drama, the energy, and the iconic festival flair. If you thought the desert had cooled off, think again.

From energetic audiences to long lines at the brand booths that had TikTok in a chokehold, the biggest moments from Coachella this weekend proved once again why this festival is the cultural epicentre every April. 

So let’s dive in and uncover the biggest moments from Coachella, weekend two!

THE BIGGEST MOMENTS FROM COACHELLA WEEKEND TWO

Yo Gabba Gabba! healed people’s inner child

When the Yo Gabba Gabba! crew hit the stage, something magical happened. Grown adults in crochet sets suddenly remembered the lyrics to Party in my Tummy and emotional damage was momentarily cured. The set was far from just “cute”, it was cathartic. DJ Lance Rock brought his signature energy with his giant, fuzzy friends in tow, presenting a full-on nostalgia trip that made everyone connect with their inner child. One of the biggest moments of Coachella for sure.

Auggie stole everyone’s hearts

In a weekend full of flashy performances and brand activations, it was a dog named Auggie who unexpectedly became the emotional support icon of Coachella 2025. Every time he popped up on social media, the internet collectively went “awww.” No pyrotechnics, no surprise guests—just a very good boy living his best desert life. Auggie may not have performed, but he definitely earned a spot among the biggest moments from Coachella this year.

D4VD finally landed his backflip

Third time’s the charm, baby! After two failed backflip attempts during weekend one, D4VD had fans holding their breath when he took centre stage again. This time? He nailed it. It wasn’t just a redemption arc, it was a moment of triumph for fans who had been rooting for him all week. It might’ve only lasted a second, but it was one of the biggest moments from Coachella—hands (and feet) down.

Many people had the best nap of their lives

Sometimes the best festival experiences come wrapped in shade, a light breeze, and the soft hum of a faraway bassline. This year, one of the biggest moments from Coachella was, unexpectedly, nap culture. Whether sprawled on the grass with tote bags as pillows or curled under the Le Grande Bouquet art installation by UCHRONIA, festivalgoers fully embraced rest as rebellion. Coachella: come for the music, stay for the vibes… and a 40-minute snooze.

Long lines at the brand booths

If you didn’t spend half your day in a line for a free drink or skincare sample, were you even at Coachella? The brand booths came in hot this year, mostly because a lot of the queues had zero shade. Still, festival-goers braved them for the perfect pic and goodie bags that were essentially mini treasure chests. Even if you skipped a set or two, standing in line became one of the biggest moments from Coachella weekend two, because FOMO is real.

Megan Thee Stallion was able to finish her whole set

After weekend one’s headline-grabbing stage delay drama, Megan Thee Stallion returned for weekend two with one mission; start on time, end with a bang. And of course, she succeeded. No weather interruptions, no tech malfunctions—just pure unfiltered Megan doing what she does best. After the cliffhanger chaos of the previous weekend, this triumphant return was easily one of the biggest moments from Coachella, and absolutely worth the wait.

Weekend two brought the energy weekend one couldn’t

There’s always an air of undisclosed tension between the two weekends. While weekend one brought the glitz, glamour, and headlines, weekend two undoubtedly brought the party. The crowd was looser, the fits were weirder (in a good way), and the vibes were immaculate. It felt less like a press event and more like a party. That raw, unfiltered energy made weekend two one of the biggest moments from Coachella 2025, and the internet agreed.

Charli XCX brings out Addison Rae

Charli XCX pulled a fast one on the crowd when she brought out none other than Addison Rae to join her onstage. The pair’s unexpected onstage link-up sent the internet into a frenzy, complete with synchronised hair flips and fierce dance moves that felt straight out of a Y2K fever dream. It was camp, it was chaos, and it was deeply online. Whether you were loving it or hate-watching, this cameo ranked among the biggest moments from Coachella weekend two.
