American rapper Travis Scott is set to make his return to Coachella in 2025 and will headline the event alongside music icons Post Malone, Lady Gaga, and Green Day, according to reports.

Scott will reportedly take the Saturday night stage, and mark his first performance at the iconic music festival since 2017.

The rapper’s return has been long anticipated by many fans, who will now be expecting a standout performance.

The road back to Coachella has been a complicated one for Scott. He was originally expected to headline the festival in 2020, yet it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A rescheduled headlining slot in 2022 was also turned down in the wake of the Astroworld tragedy in the final months of 2021, and it led to his removal from the lineup.

This time around, Scott is poised to join an elite roster of headliners.

Post Malone has already announced he will close out Sunday night, while Lady Gaga and Green Day will take the other coveted spots.

Scott first performed at Coachella in 2017 as a sub-headliner, but this time he will close Saturday night, aiming to cement his legacy as one of music’s biggest stars.

Travis Scott fans have expressed excitement about his return to Coachella, with one user writing on X: “Travis coming back after so long? That’s bound to turn some heads.”

“This might be the thing that gets him Astroworld Festival back”, another stated.

However, not all reactions have been positive.

Some have criticized the festival’s lineup, with one fan posting, “Can someone actually explain to me what Coachella’s target audience is because this is a mess. God, I’m begging you to please save the rest of the lineup with a brilliant undercard.”
