The 2025 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is here! Starting April 11–13 for the first weekend, and ending April 18–20 on weekend two, the festival is set to bring different types of audience with an eclectic mix of artists.
This year, the lineup includes an impressive array of talent, with the representation of Latin artists being notably more subdued compared to previous editions. However, new up-and-coming performers are set to deliver unforgettable performances, while others are rumored to take the stage for surprise sets.
One of the most rumored artists who could make a surprise performance is none other than Selena Gomez, who recently released a new album with her soon-to-be husband, Benny Blanco.
The singer and actress released a fan-favorite collaboration with The Marias, which became an instant success. ‘Ojos Tristes’ is a new version of the 1981 Spanish-language ballad ‘El Muchacho de los Ojos Tristes’ by Jeanette, and fans think this could be the perfect to perform the song.

But this is not all, as one of her songs from her new album ‘I Said I Love You First’ was written in collaboration with Charli XCX, who is also in this year’s Coachella lineup.
