Coachella 2025: A Beautiful Mess in the Desert

        
Coachella, the crown jewel of music festivals where stars shine and influencers flex, is back in 2025, promising mind-blowing performances and long bathroom lines. Picture this: festival-goers trapped in their cars for up to 10 hours, wishing they packed a portable throne for the great outdoor “restroom” experience. Who doesn’t want a bit of nature's call, right?

Tiktok users, like @notliss, have dubbed it "dehumanizing," with reports of patrons resorting to nature’s amenities behind bushes. Talk about a festival experience! They paid over $600 to sit in traffic and find creative ways to relieve themselves. Perhaps a sponsorship deal with toilet companies could come next? Coachella 2025: the festival where "going green" means using the bushes!

But wait, the struggles don’t end with make-shift bathrooms. Once inside, fans learned the food prices could rival a tuition bill. Attendees are left pondering just who Coachella really caters to—the artists in the spotlight, the audience swaying in the crowd, or those couch-surfing while munching on overpriced popcorn? The jury is still out, and they’re still hungry.

Weekend one featured a lineup that could make even Zeus drop his jaw: Lady Gaga, Missy Elliott, and Megan Thee Stallion. If you’re not feeling starstruck by these icons, might I remind you that a random Canadian band, The Beaches, made their debut and brought along musical surprise guest G Flip? Talk about a plot twist worthy of a bad rom-com!

TOPS, another up-and-coming act from Montreal, also graced the Coachella stage after years of near misses. Guitarist David Carriere expressed his disbelief at finally performing, but the excitement was mutual. After all, performing to thousands while dreaming of food truck delights might just be the best part of their career. Here’s hoping they save room for caviar on their nuggets!
